Democratic incumbent Rep. Raul Ruiz, D-La Quinta, is defending his seat in the U.S. House of Representatives against first-time Republican candidate Kimberlin Brown Pelzer.

The district encompasses Hemet, the Coachella Valley and spans out to Blythe near the Arizona border. The mostly Hispanic, lower-than-average-income district has a slight Democraticleaning.

Dr. Raul Ruiz is a Raul Ruiz Coachella native and former physician who has represented the district in Congress for three terms. During his tenure, Ruiz has introduced bills on healthcare and veterans issues. No bill that Ruiz Kimberlin Brown Pelzer has authored has been signed by the president and enacted into law, however, some of his legislation has been incorporated into larger bill packages with other authors and enacted into law.

Gov. Jerry Brown rolled out one of the world’s boldest targets for fighting climate change this week, announcing a statewide goal of “carbon neutrality.”

Achieving that goal would require California — the world’s fifth-largest econ-

omy — to reduce its global warming pollution dramatically over the next 25 years, bringing carbon emissions as close to zero as possible, and making up the difference by sucking carbon out of the atmosphere.

It’s a herculean task, and government mandates alone probably can’t make it happen, energy experts say.

Child protection chief out after botched case claims Christopher Damien Palm Springs Desert Sun USA TODAY NETWORK

Riverside County’s top child protection official, Susan von Zabern, left her job Monday as the county fights two civil cases alleging that severe child abuse continued after the department had fin-

ished their investigations.

The two civil cases were filed by attorney Roger Booth on behalf of the juvenile victims seeking damages for the trauma they suffered as a result of the botched investigations.

In one case, filed in November 2017, a 13-year-old girl suffered repeated sexual abuse, rape, and eventually was im-

pregnated by her mother’s live-in boyfriend. In another, filed in March, a three-year-old suffered severe neglect and was found in a filthy home hugging her dead infant sibling.

The complaints in both cases show staff from the Riverside County Children’s Services Division of the Department of Public Social Services repeated-

ly visited the homes of the victims, but failed to stop the abuse, and closed the investigations prematurely.

The county Board of Supervisors held closed-door meetings in recent months regarding the allegations, and said they will fight the cases, the PressSee DIRECTOR, Page 13A

Scientists look to map genes of 66,000 species of animals Group hopes to create a ‘library of life,’ prevent extinctions Patrick Whittle ASSOCIATED PRESS

A group of scientists unveiled the first results Thursday of an ambitious effort to map the genes of tens of thousands of animal species, a project they said could help save animals from extinction down the line.

The scientists are working with the Genome 10,000 consortium on the Vertebrate Genomes Project, which is seeking to map the genomes of all 66,000 species of mammal, bird, reptile, amphibian and fish on Earth. Genome 10,000 has members at more than 50 institutions around the globe, and the Vertebrate Genomes Project started last year.

On Thursday the consortium released the first 15 such maps, ranging from the Canada lynx to the kakapo, a flightless parrot native to New Zealand.

The genome is the entire set of genetic material that is present in an organism. The release of the first sets is “a statement to the world that what we want to accomplish is indeed feasible,” said Harris Lewin, a professor of evolution at University of California, Davis, who is working on the project.

“The time has come, but of course it’s only the beginning,” Lewin said.

The work will help inform future conservation of jeopardized species, scientists working on the project said.

The first 14 species to be mapped also include the duck-billed platypus, two bat species and the zebra finch. The zebra finch was the one species for which both sexes were mapped.

Sequencing the genome of tens of thousands of animals could easily take 10 years, said Sadye Paez, program director for the project. But giving scientists access to this kind of information

could help save rare species because it would give conservationists and biologists a new set of tools, she said.

Paez described the project as an effort to “essentially communicate a library of life.”

Tanya Lama, a doctoral candidate in environmental conservation at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, coordinated the effort to sequence the lynx genome. The wild cat is the subject of debate about its conservation status in the United States, and better understanding of genetics can better protect its future, Lama said.

“It’s going to help us plan for the future – help us generate tools for monitoring population health and help us inform conservation strategy,” she said.

The project has similarities with the Earth BioGenome Project, which seeks to catalog the genomes for 1.5 million species.

Coachella Valley Finances, security in focus for CVUSD’s election Joseph Hong Palm Springs Desert Sun USA TODAY NETWORK

Sofia Enriquez painted this mural in a week alongside students from the Palm Springs Art Museum. “I wanted to create a mural that was kind of dedicated to my family and my culture,” Enriquez told The Desert Sun. Growing up, she saw her mother and her aunts don paisley patterns in the form of dresses.

There was a certain comfort there she hopes others will feel when observing this piece. “Palm Springs has a lot of

The Coachella Valley Unified School District, the easternmost district in the valley, has faced its share of obstacles in the past year. In March, the board voted unanimously to lay off nearly 170 teachers and staff to lower the district’s $10 million deficit. While most of the teachers have been re-hired, the financial challenges remain and difficult choices lie ahead.

More recently, the district has taken steps toward progressive forms of school discipline, piloting restorative justice programs and other less punitive forms of adjusting student behaviors. With the construction of a new jail in its backyard, the district’s main concern has been keeping students out of the school-to-prison pipeline. In a controversial decision, the board voted in July to end a contract with the Riverside County Sheriff ’s Department and eliminated the police presence at the district’s high schools.

While some criticized the decision, the board members sought to add momentum to its ongoing cultural shift in school discipline.

But it’s not all bad news. The district enjoys a robust bilingual education program as well as a growing afterschool arts program. Despite the fiscal emergency, Coachella Valley’s administrators say the committed teachers and staff are the district’s greatest as-

There is plenty to do in Palm Springs, and visiting some of the creative murals in town may be worth adding to your weekend itinerary.

Palm Springs recently made it easier for artists and property owners to express their creativity through murals around the city. The city seeks to encourage artists and property owners to come forward “because it’s an easier

process,” City Manager David Ready told The Desert Sun. These murals could be the start of a growing public art trend.

sets.

Three seats are up for grabs in November, but only one is contested. Two seats for Area 1 have three candidates.

THE CANDIDATES Joey Acuña — Area 1 Born and raised in the Coachella Valley, Acuña, 56, was first elected to the school board in 1992 and served until 2000. He was re-elected in 2014 and is running to hold his seat this year.

Acuña also has experience in local politics and works as a grant writer.

Daniel Davila — Area 1 A 30-year resident of the Coachella Valley, Davila, 35, works in the medical field, teaching CPR to doctors, medics and firefighters. He was appointed this year to be commissioner of parks and recreation for the city of Coachella. He has served as an entrylevel firefighter for Imperial County. He received his emergency medical services certificate from Imperial Valley College and is enrolled at College of the Desert for an associate’s degree in business.

Blanca Hall — Area 1 First elected to the school board in 2014, Hall, 56, serves as president of the board. A licensed clinical social worker, Hall has worked for most of her 30-plus-year career with abused and neglected children. She has taught English as a second language and independent studies at the Coachella Valley Adult School for 15 years.

Silvia Paz — Area 2 Paz, 35, is running uncontested to hold her seat on the school board. A 30-year resident of the Coachella Valley, she describes herself as a “product” of the school district. Paz serves as executive director of Alianza Coachella Valley, formerly known as Building Healthy Communities, a local nonprofit. A valedictorian graduate of

Coachella Valley High School, Paz earned her bachelor’s degree and teaching credentials from the University of San Diego and a master’s degree in public policy from Harvard.

Neftali Galarza — Area 3 A native of the Coachella Valley, Galarza, 24, is running uncontested to maintain his position on the board. He graduated from Desert Mirage High School and University of California, Riverside, then went on to work in political advocacy in areas ranging from voter education to immigration policy. He serves as director of community relations for California Alliance for Renewable Energy Solutions.

The issues The district is currently in the middle of a fiscal emergency. How will you help the bring financial responsibility and maintain academic rigor?

Acuña: We will continue to do what this new board has been doing for the last two years: hire good staff and hold them accountable. We will try to provide good leadership and, when necessary, say no to additional spending we cannot afford. We have and will continue to make the hard decisions and refuse to kick the can down the road and make it someone else’s problem. The district has great staff but has, in my opinion, lacked leadership and direction. We will use this expertise, current resources and the development of new ones to provide not only academic rigor but also more importantly academic opportunity.

Davila: We just discovered that the district has not been paying its sewer bill since 1974. Now we’re at the mercy of the city council. That is unacceptable.

What is going on? We need to really hone in on where we’re at. We need to review our current budget, see what’s working and see what’s not working.

We need to be piloting programs before we vote things in to see what best fits our culture of people. We are using GPS systems in our buses that are not working. We spent tens of thousands of dollars, and they’re just sitting in our buses.

I would actually spend money on a CPA or a third-party to do an evaluation and a full audit of each program in order to get the fullest return on every dollar that we spend.

Hall: During these past 2 years, we

created a budget committee to review all departments and programs where money is spent. During this review we had to make some hard decisions to cut staff and programs. Although we had to make some tough decisions, our staff, which is great and has a lot of experience in education and school budget, were able to keep and develop new resources to enhance our social and emotional curriculum and also provide a more comprehensive and rigorous academic curriculum.

Paz: As a board member, I am already helping the district achieve financial stability without jeopardizing academic rigor by making sure expenditures I approve are in alignment with and contribute to the academic success of our students. For example, I have voted against contracts where data was not made available to show the success of the service.

Galarza: I want to note that the district is on the right path. I’m going to continue making sure the teachers have everything they need. I got appointed, and quickly we went into the fiscal crisis. We made very hard and important decisions to ensure we wouldn’t be in the same situation. We have a great superintendent and assistant superintendents. Our district wasn’t left to us in the best place, but that’s the past and we need to move forward. When we make decisions, we need to ensure students are the top priority, and that means making sure teachers have the resources to move forward in their duties.

We need to go back to smaller classrooms and protect programs. I want to ensure that the ethnic studies program grows. I do think college should be the priority. School districts should assume that all high school students should go to college.

The district recently ended a contract with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department and removed school resource officers from its high school campuses.

Several board members indicated that this decision points to a shift towards restorative justice and more progressive forms of student discipline. What is your position on restorative justice and balancing it with school security?

Acuña: As I mentioned earlier, it is about a change in culture not simply a change in programs. Restorative justice, school security and other such programs are simply tools. It is like saying we are going to remodel a home by simply painting the doors. We need to look at the foundation and find the cracks and holes that can bring down the struc-

ture. That is what we are beginning to do, review and repair the foundation of our educational system. That includes having an open and honest conversation of how we communicate with each other, how we prejudge certain students and staff because of how they look or where they came from. To understand that what happens to our students and staff outside of the school day impacts the school day. To provide resources and services that on the surface don’t seem school related but have a great impact on attitude, behavior and potential. And to do that we have to think outside the box and outside of what is easy and politically expedient.

Davila: When I watch on the news and our children are unprotected at a time we’re experiencing devastating numbers in school shootings, it baffles me. First and foremost, I’m going to bring back to the table our position with reinstating our resource officers. That is number one on my agenda. I like the idea of restorative justice. It’s a great idea. It should be implemented at an earlier stage of a child’s life. Elementary schools should be focusing on those approaches. The first offense should be a counseling session. We should involve the parents. We need to build in a path to success. It takes a group effort, and a lot of communication. Once you’re in the middle school level, school security is needed. It’s no secret there are gang members. We have strong ties with narcotics as well. Security presence is needed. At high schools, we need our resource officers. Just the sight of a cop just deters. That has its weight in gold.

Hall: As you are now aware, I am a (licensed clinical social worker) that practices restorative justice and progressive discipline on a regular basis, so I totally believe that our schools will be safe by implementing a positive form of discipline. You may also be aware that I was one of the board Members that voted to have SROs in our schools, however I voted for 2 SROs in our schools because I believe that they could be part of our positive discipline and restorative justice curriculum. Although it was voted not to have the SROs in our schools, I continue to believe that school safety is a priority and providing support and training to our staff on restorative justice under the umbrella of transformational learning will keep the balance between both.

Paz: There is a common myth about restorative justice being at odds with See CVUSD, Page 5A

school security. I want to dispel that myth. When implemented with fidelity, restorative justice reduces violence in schools; schools in Oakland and San Francisco have successfully demonstrated this. The reason why restorative justice results in less fights and less suspensions and expulsions is because at its core restorative justice creates an environment of a community that is willing to resolve conflicts. The restorative justice conflict resolution teaches participants about the impact of their behavior. It’s really a change from punishment to discipline and accountability for one’s actions. I should add that the school district still hires a security team to respond to emergencies on campus, and schools can still call law enforcement when their services are needed.

Galarza: We have people who are very homophobic and say racist things.

And that’s wrong. But maybe they’ve never been told that’s wrong. I don’t think punitive discipline is the answer. I don’t know if the SROs made students any safer. We have our own security who are usually the ones who intervene when there’s any altercation. If you have a positive system in place, you can make sure sure that attack doesn’t happen again. It’s not like, “Hey, you did something wrong, here’s a teddy bear.” It’s, “Hey, you did something wrong and you need to understand it.” That’s part of the culture. The culture needs to change.

We have a very progressive board right now, and we can take that route. I think our neighboring districts should also look into following that route.

Earlier this year, the Local Control Funding Formula was fully funded by the state. Its implementation through the Local Control and Accountability Plan is to bring equity to schools. In your opinion, have schools improved in the district. What will you do to make sure that local plans are designed with community input and implemented with transparency?

Acuña: I believe the intent of the LCFF can improve school if done properly. Four years ago when I was elected, I believe it was being used in a way that did not serve the students well. It was, in my opinion, being used to promote public relations to give the impression that good things were happening at the expense of the students and staff. The result was chaotic, no direction, no accountability, no follow through and no educational progress. Starting last year and continuing this current budget year I believe we have started to use the funds properly and in a way that can be measured. We created a process that includes staff and community input and participation. We began a budget process that put everything on the table for review. While it was not pretty and cuts had to be made our budget was balanced and future budgets are now based on facts and real numbers. Now when votes have to be made on funding programs, staff, facilities or any other aspects of the district, we can feel confi-

dent that we have the best and most accurate information to make these tough decisions.

Davila: I’m just starting to get familiar with our LCAP. It’s still a brand new program. We don’t know the long-term effects. The LCAP needs to be under more review from my end. There should be transparency. We need to meet the educators and the Coachella Valley Teachers Association. Don’t just get a report. I would get out from my desk and meet with educators. Why aren’t we having coffee with our trustees and meeting with them? We’re going to discover more appropriate ways of dispensing that government funding.

Hall: When I was elected four years ago, I watched how our funds, in my opinion, were being misused. I was confused and agitated about the whole process as it appeared to be a “show” for the community and students. I say it appeared to be a “show” because I observed community meetings being held, but when the LCAP was written and provided, the funds were not put in places for student learning and achievement.

There was no accountability, community partners were lied to and no one followed through with what was promised to our students and community. As I mentioned before we developed a budget committee for transparency. We created a processes where we have meetings with our staff, community and other stake holders so they could participate in developing our LCAP. I could truly say that all voices are heard and nothing is off the table as long as it is fiscally sound and geared toward improving our students’ socially, emotionally and academically. We are a district that believes in communication, collaboration, creativity, college and career readiness for each and every student in our district.

Paz: I have been advocating for greater transparency and accountability even before I was appointed to serve on the school board. As a board member, I continue to speak for the many community residents who want to know how equity dollars are being spent. I am looking forward to the school district strengthening its partnerships with residents and community groups. This year marked the first year, since the adoption of the LCAP, that the district accounted for every dollar that was received. It’s a huge achievement and indication about where I, as a board member, want the district to continue moving.

Galarza: The priorities of the school district were all over the place three years ago. Now we’re trying to do our best to be transparent and do community engagement for the LCAP, but we’re taking on a culture where parents aren’t as engaged. It goes beyond the LCFF, we need to create a culture of parent engagement. We need better parent turnout at LCFF meetings. It’s not their fault.

It’s because of the culture that’s been instilled on them. They didn’t know they had all this power.

Full containment of Holy Fire is declared CITY NEWS SERVICE

LAKE ELSINORE – The Holy Fire, which burned 23,136 acres and destroyed 18 cabins or homes in Orange and Riverside counties, was 100 percent contained Friday.

Crews achieved full containment of the blaze Thursday and will remain on patrol to monitor the area until the fire is also 100 percent controlled, according to the Cleveland National Forest.

The Holy Fire broke out in the Holy Jim Canyon area of Orange County on Aug. 6.

Forrest Gordon Clark, 51, is charged with aggravated arson resulting in damage to at least five inhabited structures, arson of inhabited property, arson of forest and criminal threats in connection with the blaze.

Clark has a cabin in Holy Jim Canyon, and arson investigators allegedly uncovered evidence indicating the fire was ignited in the immediate vicinity of his property, according to the Orange County Fire Authority.

Clark is being held in lieu of $1 million bail and is undergoing a court-ordered evaluation for mental illness.

The Holy Fire bore down on Lake Elsinore in Riverside County and surrounding communities for six days, prompting mandatory evacuations and road closures.

The Ortega (74) Highway between San Juan Capistrano and Lake Elsinore was closed from Aug. 8 to Aug. 14 due to the monster blaze.

Several firefighters were injured battling the flames, though none of the injuries were life-threatening.

Judge: Man accused in beating death of Thermal man to stand trial for murder CITY NEWS SERVICE

INDIO – A suspect accused of beating a Thermal man to death must stand trial for murder, a judge ruled Friday.

Saul Mayoral, 50, is accused in the March 23 death of a man identified only as Hector Q. in court documents. The victim’s body was found in a drainage channel near the suspect’s mobile home, authorities said.

A local resident discovered the victim’s body at 7:17 a.m. in the 87800 block of Avenue 52 and flagged down deputies, according to Riverside County sheriff ’s Sgt. Wallace Clear.

Mayoral, who allegedly killed the victim with a bat, lived close to where

the victim was found and was arrested later that evening.

Sheriff ’s investigators have not revealed a motive in the alleged killing, nor how Mayoral is connected to the slain man.

At the time of his arrest, Mayoral was on probation for battery committed against a custodial officer, according to court records.

In addition to the murder count, he also faces a sentence-enhancing allegation of using weapon in commission of a felony.

Mayoral, who’s being held in lieu of $1 million bail, is slated to return to court Sept. 28 for a post-preliminary hearing arraignment.

Artist: Eyoälha Baker Location: Palm Springs Cultural Center, 2300 E. Baristo Road, Palm Springs This mural depicts people jumping for joy, as the title conveys. “The Jump for Joy Photo Project is about capturing the unique essence and powerful energy of joy to uplift individuals and viewers within a community,” Eyoälha Baker told The Desert Sun. “The mural then becomes a mosaic of the community and the community is invited to connect and come together with the mural.”

Artist: Angelina Christina Location: formerly Bar (since closed), 340 N. Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs

The details in this mural, from the color scheme to the expression in the women’s faces to the snake are impressive, to say the least. There’s a sensation of almost being lured by their mystique, making it easy to forget you’re on a busy, commercial Palm Springs street.

Artist: Richard Wyatt Jr. Location: James O. Jessie Desert Highland Unity Center, 480 Tramview Road, Palm Springs The James O. Jessie Desert Highland Unity Center is a place where people gather to play basketball, volleyball, badminton and indoor games. There’s also a weight room and a community room.

Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs The Wells Fargo Community Mural Program seeks to “celebrate the legacy of the communities we serve, highlighting the geography, industry, and cultural diversity that give each community its unique character and sense of place,” according to their website.

Artist: Curry Mendes Location: Lulu California Bistro, 200 S. Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs From the flower crown adorning her head to Marilyn Monroe’s signature stare, it’s highly unlikely to walk past Lulu in downtown without glancing up to stare at the ‘50s icon. “This could not be more exciting. My art was selected for Public Art in a size that I could not love any more,” Curry Mendes wrote on

his website.

Artist: Collette Miller Location: The Rowan Palm Springs, 100 W. Tahquitz Canyon Way, Palm Springs Colette Miller, the artist behind one of Los Angeles’ most Instagrammed murals, created a Palm Springs rendition of the wings. The wings are part of Miller’s Global Angel Wings Project, which she started in 2012 “to remind humanity of our higher energy and higher selves,” she told The Desert Sun. She said the Rowan team specifically requested a gay-friendly color palette, which she has done before. Miller has sketched the popular wings throughout the United States – including Texas, Florida and New York – but she doesn’t plan to stop there. “I would like to put them in war zones,” she said, “as a symbol of peace and refuge.”

Artist: Ryan Campbell Location: Desert Regional Medical Center, 1150 Indian Canyon Drive, Palm Springs Ryan Campbell said there was an ease to working with the city of Palm Springs. He was hired by an art consulting company and they took care of the applications and fees, but Campbell still had to present the design he intended for the Desert Regional Medical Center to the Arts Commission. He said that as an artist, you can plan ahead and try to explain what you have in mind for a mural, but “the magic happens as the artist

is working.”

Campbell has two conditions: Temporal Lobe Epilepsy and Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome, which affects his ability to perceive colors the way most people do. “When I’m looking at something that is predominantly white, the white drowns out all the words on the paper,” he told The Desert Sun. But while the condition limits his perception of colors, it doesn’t limit his artistry. He works with very specific shapes, usually in black and white. His designs often lead others to say his paintings feel like they’re moving, which Campbell said allows him to have “a normal visual situation and a connection with someone else because they’re experiencing it in a similar way.”

Artists: James Haunt and Zes MSK

Location: Commercial building at 2481 N. Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs Fabulous doesn’t even begin to cover this mural, does it? James Haunt and Zes MSK, the two artists involved in this creation have collaborated before, in the streets of Los Angeles.

Artist: John Moody (a.k.a. MDMN) Location: Trio Restaurant, 707 N. Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs The purpose of this mural with a “Batman, Robin feel” was “to bring more energy to the parking lot,” Trio restaurant owner Tony Marchese told The Desert Sun last year. At the time, artist John Moody said, “It’s almost like an abstract illustration which is what I’ve been focusing on lately.”

in common, it’s the passionate artists behind them who strive to make others reflect.

Per Palm Springs’ municipal code, it is unlawful for any person to create and display a mural “without first obtaining the necessary permits.” But whereas before the process was longer and pricier, the city has since modified it.

First, the property or business owner has “to apply for the mural because its their property,” Ready said. Then, there’s a $1,000 fee – a reduction from the original $3,000 charge. Then, instead of going through several commissions as was required in the past, the mural approvals go through the Arts Commission who then make the recommendation to City Council. Finally, it’s up to City Council to approve.

on getting more housing built in existing neighborhoods, creating denser communities that encourage walking, biking and public transit.

Nobody knows what the changes will look like in practice. Brown signed an executive order setting a target of carbon neutrality by 2045, but the document doesn’t specify what steps California should take get there. It also doesn’t have the force of law.

In other words: If you drive a gas guzzler, no one’s about to tell you to stop.

But Brown’s executive order is still a key milestone on a long road toward

cleaner cars, energy experts say. They point out that California’s existing targets for reducing planet-warming emissions also started as executive orders before being passed into law.

“The executive order changes everything,” said Bruce Nilles, a senior fellow at the Rocky Mountain Institute, a think tank based in Boulder, Colorado that publishes research on energy and climate change. “Twenty-five years from now, all of our transportation modes need to be clean. It gives us a very clear target.”

California has already made huge strides replacing the fossil fuels that power its millions of homes and business with climate-friendly energy sources like wind and solar. Brown signed a bill this week committing the

state to 100 percent clean electricity by 2045.

But electricity accounts for just 16 percent of California’s carbon emissions, according to the state’s official tally. The biggest source of climate pollution, by far, is transportation, which is responsible for 41 percent of the state’s carbon emissions. California’s cars and trucks burn enormous amounts of gasoline, a refined form of oil — one of three fossil fuels, along with coal and natural gas, that scientists have found to be mostly responsible for global warming.

And unlike emissions from electricity, which have been falling, transportation emissions are on the rise. After dropping during the economic slowdown of the Great Recession, carbon pollution from transportation rose by 4

percent from 2014 through 2016. Seventy percent of those emissions came from passenger cars in 2016, with more than 20 percent coming from trucks.

The rest mostly came from airplanes, ships and trains.

Meanwhile, California is far from meeting its existing targets. Six years ago, Brown set a goal of putting 1.5 million zero-emission vehicles on the road by 2025. Earlier this year, he increased that goal to 5 million by 2030. But just 450,000 electric cars have been sold in California since 2011, including 92,000 this year, industry data indicate. Brown also set a target of 250,000 charging stations by 2025. Today there are just 17,000.

Changing how Californians get from place to place will be a bigger challenge than reshaping the electricity sector, said Max Baumhefner, an attorney focused on clean vehicles at the Natural Resources Defense Council, a nonprofit environmental group.

“There are only so many electric utilities out there, and we can pass laws and regulations that require them to buy clean power and invest in energy efficiency,” Baumhefner said. “It’s more challenging when you’re dealing with tens of millions of individual consumers considering what kind of car they want to buy.”

While the Golden State is far from reaching its goals, Baumhefner is optimistic. He said the cost of a lithium-ion battery has dropped 80 percent in recent years and continues to drop, which should help electric vehicles achieve “cost parity” with oil-powered cars by the mid-2020s. He also pointed to plans by California’s three big investor-owned utilities — Southern California Edison, Pacific Gas & Electric and San Diego Gas & Electric — to spend more than $750 million on charging stations and rebates to support electric vehicles. Those investments are expected to make it easier and cheaper for drivers to go electric, while also boosting utility profits by expanding the market for electricity.

California has already taken steps to encourage drivers to buy cleaner cars, said Chris Busch, research director for Energy Innovation, a San Fran-

cisco-based think tank.

For instance, the state offers rebates of $2,500 for fully electric cars, $1,500 for plug-in hybrids and $5,000 for hydrogenpowered vehicles. Lowincome Californians can receive an additional $2,000 in rebates. The state also has a mandate that will require car companies to ensure about 8 percent of new car sales are zero-emission vehicles by 2025. The goal of the mandate is to push carmakers to design and market clean cars that consumers want to buy.

Modeling by Energy Innovation shows that over 40 percent of new passenger car sales need to be zero-emission vehicles by 2030 to meet the governor’s goal of 5 million clean cars on the road by that year, Busch said.

He’s confident the state is on the right path.

“The state has all the right policies in place, and you would expect over time those are going to need to get ramped up,” Busch said.

The highest-profile electric automaker is Tesla, whose Model 3 sedan starts at $35,000 and has a range of 220 miles. But other companies have started selling electric vehicles at relatively low prices. The 2018 Nissan Leaf, for instance, starts at $29,990 and has a range of 151 miles. The latest Ford Focus Electric starts at $29,120 and has a range of 115 miles. The 2019 Chevrolet Bolt starts at $36,620 and has a range of 238 miles.

“People don’t know that you can buy an affordable long-range (electric vehicle) now, and that there’s dozens of EV models out there that could meet their needs,” said the NRDC’s Baumhefner. “A lot of people might have heard of Tesla, but they don’t know about the Nissan or the Chevy, and they don’t buy cars that they don’t know exist.”

Part of the problem is a lack of publicity, Baumhefner said. Even the rollout of Tesla’s Model 3, he

said, got less press coverage than “a single Kim Kardashian tweet.”

“I guess we need to get Kim tweeting about EVs,” he said.

There’s more California can do to electrify transportation, said Nilles from the Rocky Mountain Institute. He pointed out that the California Public Utilities Commission regulates ride-sharing companies like Uber and Lyft, as do many city governments.

“What is stopping cities and/or the state from setting a (clean energy standard) for shared services? ‘OK, Uber and Lyft, in 5 years, half of your cars have to be electric.

And in 10 years, all of your cars have to be electric,’” Nilles said.

California’s biggest challenge might be cutting down on driving.

The California Air Resources Board’s 2017 “scoping plan,” a comprehensive outline of how the state might meet its climate change targets, says Californians will need to drive fewer miles for the state to reduce emissions sufficiently over the next decade.

State law calls for California to reduce its carbon emissions 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030.

Achieving those reductions would require Californians to drive 7 percent fewer miles in 2030

getting people out of their cars, even on top of the climate benefits. Those upsides include less lung-damaging air pollution, less time sitting in traffic and improved health. Nilles pointed to shared bikes and electric scooters as emerging options that are helping people get comfortable with driving less.

For Gov. Brown, setting a target of carbon neutrality is about more than California.

Climate change is a global problem that requires global solutions, and the governor has long sought to influence the rest of the world by implementing ambitious policies in California and showing that they work. That’s why he signed the carbon neutrality order this week, in advance of the Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco.

Reshaping how Californians get around might be the state’s biggest climate challenge yet. But Busch, from Energy Innovation, thinks the Golden State will get it done. He noted that California had recently reached its first climate change target — bringing carbon emissions back down to 1990 levels by 2020 — four years ahead of schedule.

“California has set bold targets before that seemed like challenges and aggressive, but we’ve hit them,” Busch said.

“We’re making this statement on a track record of success.”

than currently projected — an average decrease of 1.5 miles per person, per day.

Regional planning agencies are already required under state law to develop strategies for reducing planet-warming emissions from transportation. Those plans, known as Sustainable Communities Strategies, focus on getting housing built near public transit in urbanized areas, investing in public transit and pathways for bikers and pedestrians, and minimizing sprawl, according to the California Air Resources Board. The Southern California Association of Governments’ regional plan, which covers the Coachella Valley, is designed to reduce carbon emissions 19 percent below 2005 levels by 2035.

One of the projects included in the regional plan is daily rail service between Los Angeles and the Coachella Valley — a long-awaited option that is likely still years away.

But the regional plans, even if fully implemented, won’t reduce driving enough for the state to meet its climate goals, according to the Air Resources Board’s climate report. The report says state officials and local governments need to get more housing built near transit stations, design streets that prioritize walking and biking, and promote the use of bikesharing and car-sharing services. The report also says high-speed rail is key, since train travel can reduce the need for carbon-intensive airplane trips within the state.

Walruses herd up on Alaskan coast As sea ice diminishes, thousands of mammals must rest on beaches Dan Joling

ANCHORAGE, Alaska – Thousands of Pacific walruses have again gathered on the northwest shore of Alaska as the Chukchi Sea approaches its annual sea ice minimum.

Residents of the Inupiaq village of Point Lay on Aug. 22 reported hearing walruses, said Andrea Medeiros, spokeswoman in Alaska for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Spotters taking part in an annual aerial marine mammal survey Aug. 30 photographed walruses on a barrier island near Point Lay. An estimated 25,000 an-

nesswoman known for her work on the soap operas “The Bold and The Beautiful” and “The Young and The Restless.” In addition to her acting career, the firsttime candidate has worked in interior design and owns an avocado farm in San Diego County. Brown Pelzer spoke at the Republican National Convention in 2016 and moved from Fallbrook in San Diego County to Palm Springs in 2017. In addition to campaigning for Congress, Brown Pelzer is also a vocal advocate for Proposition 6, the ballot initiative that proposes repealing the gas tax.

Brown Pelzer supports most of the administration’s immigration policies while Ruiz opposes them. Ruiz supports the Affordable Care Act, while Brown Pelzer advocates repealing it. Both Republicans and Democrats have identified the 36th as a battleground district, but the parties have focused most of their resources on the seven California districts Democrats hope to flip in the midterm elections. On the campaign trail, Brown Pelzer has portrayed Ruiz as a pawn working for Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, while the Ruiz campaign has described Brown Pelzer as a pro-Trump zealot.

As a member of Congress, what will your approach be toward President Trump and the executive branch?

RUIZ: Ruiz said he was open to working with President Trump, but wasn’t afraid to oppose him. Regarding a potential impeachment hearing, Ruiz said he wanted to wait to see the findings of the Mueller investigation.

“If the president has an idea or policy I believe will help older Americans, veterans, the middle class or students, then I will work with him to achieve those policy goals, but if he has ideas or is pushing policies that will hurt the community I represent, I’ll oppose them and hold the administration accountable,” he said.

Enterprise reported.

Ray Smith, a spokesman for the county, said that von Zabern “separated” from the county on Monday, but could not provide further comment due to department policies on personnel matters and the open status of the civil cases.

“The county constantly works to improve processes and programs that protect residents who are at-risk,” Smith said. “The county will aggressively continue that work.”

Social services staff knew a juvenile victim suffered repeated sexual abuse by her mother’s boyfriend, according to the lawsuit, but the agency closed the investigation anyway.

The complaint alleges that the department failed to report that the victim’s mother was not capable of protecting her, that the sexual abuse would likely continue, and that they led the victim to believe the department was the only hope for her protection.

At one point the department even asked the suspect to sign a safety plan they drafted, designating him as one of her caregivers, according to the complaint.

About a year later, the victim, 13 at the time, gave birth to a baby and put it up for adoption. Blood tests

imals were there, Medeiros said.

“The herd is 2 to 3 miles north of the old village site on the island,” Medeiros said. “We are monitoring the herd with the help of local people and U.S. Geological Survey staff who are on site doing research.”

Walruses over the last decade have come to shore on the Alaska and Russia sides of the Chukchi Sea as sea ice diminishes because of global warming.

Walruses use sea ice to rest as they dive to the ocean floor to hunt for clams and snails. When ice recedes north of the shallow continental shelf, walruses head to beaches to rest. The animals lie shoulder to shoulder and can be startled by a polar bear, airplane or hunter.

Young animals, especially calves born earlier in the year, are vulnerable to being crushed in stampedes if the herd suddenly seeks refuge in the ocean.

The USFWS tries to prevent stampedes by notifying pilots and boat operators to stay away from herds.

James MacCracken, a USFWS supervisory biologist, said in response to questions that about 20 carcasses from animals this year have been seen on the

beach along with 30 carcasses from last year.

The agency expects to monitor walruses at the site until the animals leave, MacCracken said. The agency has received no reports of walruses gathered elsewhere on the Alaska coast or on the Russian side. Russian officials are monitoring four sites in Chukotka, he said, but have no internet access.

Walruses spend winters along the edge of ice in the Bering Sea. Mature male walruses remain in the Bering Sea all year and forage from shore. In spring, adult females, young calves and many juvenile walruses migrate north all the way through the Bering Strait to feeding areas in the Chukchi Sea, often staying near the ice edge or pack ice as it recedes north.

Sea ice usually melts to its summer minimum sometime in September. The date varies widely, said Agnieszka Gautier of the National Snow and Ice Data Center at the University of Colorado.

“NSIDC does not have a precise date at this point,” Gautier said by email. “The minimum has gone as late as Sept. 21, in previous years.”

BROWN PELZER: Brown Pelzer said she supported the Trump administration’s agenda.

“His policies have been amazing for the United States, with the tax cuts and putting Americans back to work,” she said. “But all those things had to go through Congress first.”

When asked about Democratic representatives calling for impeachment and anticipating the findings from the Muller investigation, Brown Pelzer said she valued proof over partisanship and hadn’t seen any evidence of impeachable offenses.

border security and ensuring the existence of a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.

Creating a path to citizenship was particularly important for the Coachella Valley, Ruiz said, because the region’s top industries – tourism and agriculture – rely heavily on immigrant labor.

“We need to have a fair path to citizenship for those who follow the rules and are without fault and haven’t committed any crime,” he said. “The Dreamers should have a path to citizenship as well.”

Ruiz said he stood against the growing chorus of Democrats who support abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

“We need to make sure we secure our borders and have the technology, equipment, manpower and skills that are needed,” he said. “I support the roles and responsibilities ICE provides especially going after terrorism, sex traffickers and other white collar-type crimes. The issue is, with their minimal resources, they should not be using resources on separating families that have come over seeking asylum.”

BROWN PELZER: Brown Pelzer said the most important priorities of an immigration reform bill were “securing the border and promoting a guest worker program for agriculture.”

“We have to have the back of our California farmers,” she said. “The crops that are produced here – they need people come and actually work those farms.”

She believes a guest worker program and increasing border security infrastructure with new surveillance technology are compatible.

“Limiting the access points coming into the United States will not only cut down on illegal drugs coming into our border … but it’ll also cut down on the human sex trade coming into our country,” she said.

Regarding DACA, Brown Pelzer said, “The people who are here currently definitely need to have not committed crimes to stay in this country.” But Brown Pelzer said her general conviction is that people need to come here legally but she also said there needs to be a path that allows most DACA recipients to stay.

“There’s a merit-based system. They’ve got to be a productive part of society – and they are – so let’s make sure they have a path to become the Americans they want to be,” she said.

As a member of Congress, how will you work to reduce the cost of healthcare for individuals and businesses while ensuring Americans have access to quality healthcare?

RUIZ: Ruiz said, if re-elected, he will work to protect the Affordable Care Act and look holistically at consumer costs to consider premiums, deductibles, and out-of-pocket fees.

“We need to protect the A.C.A. for people with preexisting conditions, for women not to be charged more than men, and to protect the gains we made with Medicaid expansion for people who didn’t have healthcare,” he said. “We need to have more system transparency and sharing of information to give consumers a better idea of what things cost and why.”

BROWN PELZER: Brown Pelzer said she would work to repeal the Affordable Care Act but wanted to protect several provisions and ensure its replacement would be effective.

“We definitely need a system that ensures that those with preexisting conditions can maintain quality at a reasonable price. But, when you look at the costs for an average person, their premiums went up to support the more than 20 million who weren’t supported by healthcare,” she said, “there has to be something more effective from a business standpoint.”

If Congress considers another immigration reform bill, what are the most important components you will push to include?

RUIZ: Ruiz said his top immigration priorities were

confirmed that the suspect was the father.

The suspect is facing 22 counts of child sexual abuse and is due in court on Sept. 28.

Another case, filed in March, alleges that a young child was routinely neglected by her mother, who struggled with drug addiction and mental illness.

The mother later became pregnant and reported to the department that she was not receiving prenatal care and had stopped using her medication.

On several occasions, the department visited the home, but ultimately considered the case inconclusive and closed the investigation.

Days after one of the department’s final visits in April 2016, a neighbor flagged down a passing police car and reported a foul smell from the victim’s apartment.

Inside, police found a horrific scene, according to court documents: The three-year-old was laying on a mattress, hugging the decaying corpse of her infant sigbling.

Both of the juvenile plaintiffs in the civil cases have been appointed a guardian by the courts.

The cases specifically name 10 staff in the Department of Public Social Services alleging they failed at their duties and violated the Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act. To Booth, these disturbing cases indicate department leadership is failing to effectively stop child abuse.

“Child protective services is supposed to be there for kids whose parents can’t and won’t protect them.”

Booth said. “They just simply failed to do that in these cases.”

The cases seek compensation for the victims and for punitive damages against specific staff named in the complaint.

“What these kids went through is horrific,” Booth said. “They’re entitled to compensation commensurate with the harm that was done to them.”

California Firefighter’s death caused by retardant drop from 747 Don Thompson ASSOCIATED PRESS

Brown said state officials will work with the San Francisco-based company Planet Labs to develop a satellite to track climate-change causing pollutants.

Brown said the earth-imaging company has launched 150 satellites.

“With science still under attack and the climate threat growing, we’re launching our own damn satellite,” he said.

SACRAMENTO – A firefighter battling the largest wildfire in California history was killed last month when thousands of gallons of flame-suppressing liquid were dropped from an aircraft flying barely above the treetops because spotters mistakenly sent it on a route too close to the ground, according to state investigation findings released Friday The pilot and a supervisor flying ahead in a small guide plane led the giant modified Boeing 747 nearly into the trees on Aug. 13 because the pilots failed to recognize that there was a hill in the flight path, according to the Matthew Green Sheet report by the state’s fireBurchett fighting agency.

Because of the near ground-level release, the retardant struck with such force it uprooted an 87-foot tree that fell on Matthew Burchett, a 42-year-old battalion chief from Utah helping with the Mendocino Complex Fire north of San Francisco.

Another large tree was snapped by the force of nearly 20,000 gallons of liquid and three firefighters were injured, one seriously.

Two supervisors – one in the air and one on the ground – potentially face discipline or loss of their current positions because of multiple compounding mistakes, said Cliff Allen, president of the union representing California’s wildland firefighters.

California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection spokesman Scott McLean said there are ongoing internal investigations into what went wrong.

“We definitely don’t want this to ever happen again,” McLean said.

The 747 was flying only 100 feet above the treetops, at least 100 feet too low, officials said. The goal

San Francisco Federal Reserve names Mary Daly as next president Christopher Rugaber ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco on Friday announced the appointment of Mary Daly, a longtime Fed economist and a labor market specialist, as the next president of the regional bank.

Daly replaces John Williams, who became president of the New York Federal Reserve Bank in April. When she begins Oct. 1, Daly will be among three women who lead one of the 12 Fed regional banks. The Fed, under pressure from activist groups, has made efforts to diversify its leadership.

Daly, 55, who joined the San Francisco Fed in 1996 as a research economist, was appointed director of research in 2017. She has studied wages and jobs and economic inequality and has written several books. She earned her bachelor’s degree from the University of Missouri-Kansas City and a Ph.D. in economics from Syracuse University.

As San Francisco Fed President, Daly will receive a vote on interest rate policy at the December meeting of the Fed’s policymaking committee. After that, she will not have a voting right until 2021. Each year, the Fed’s interest rate committee rotates voting rights among its regional presidents.

“I believe very strongly in the Federal Reserve’s mission and in the important role we play in helping to create strong, stable economic conditions in all corners of the country that allow individuals and businesses to prosper,” Daly said in a statement.

In April, Daly said she thought the economy “is very strong and the outlook is very bright.” She downplayed concerns that low unemployment might lead to rapid wage gains and higher inflation. Instead, she noted that “there is little sign of this in the data.”

She also argued that even if wage gains accelerated, the Fed “would have time to adjust policy to limit the impact on overall price inflation.”

Those remarks suggest that Daly may lean toward the “dovish” camp of Fed policymakers. The Fed’s doves typically focus more on the central bank’s mandate to maximize employment than on its other mission to keep inflation under control.

Last year, Daly co-wrote an influential paper that argued that wage growth has been slowed by an aging U.S. population. Young workers, who typically earn relatively low pay, are replacing a larger generation of older, higher-paid baby boomers, who are increasingly retiring.

Diane Swonk, chief economist at Grant Thornton and a leading Fed watcher, noted that Daly’s research also highlighted the disproportionate impact of the Great Recession on young adults, who absorbed huge amounts of student loan debt just as wages for entry-level workers were weakening.

Daly will provide needed expertise to the Fed board on the job market, Swonk added. At 3.9 percent, the unemployment rate is near an 18-year low.

But with an unusually large proportion of Americans neither working nor looking for work, setting Fed policy is trickier than in the past.

If the Fed raises short-term rates only slowly, the economy may remain strong enough to pull more of those people into jobs. But the risk is that inflation could rage out of control. On the other hand, if Fed policymakers raise rates too aggressively, the economy could tip into recession and cause job losses.

Those questions “will determine the pace at which rates go up,” Swonk said.

“She will provide the Fed key insight on that.”

Ariana Grande laments late ex Mac Miller as ‘sweetest soul’ in post ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES – Ariana Grande posted a tribute Friday to her ex-boyfriend Mac Miller a week after the hiphop star’s death, saying she’s sorry she couldn’t save the “sweetest soul” who for so long was her “dearest friend.”

Grande posted a video of Miller laughing on her Instagram page Friday, and shared her first words on his death.

She writes, “i adored you from the day i met you when i was nineteen and i always will. i can’t believe you aren’t here anymore,” and goes on to say “i’m so mad, i’m so sad i don’t know what to do. you were my dearest friend. for so long.”

Paramedics found the 26-year-old Miller unresponsive in his Los Angeles home on Sept. 7 and declared him dead

soon after. An autopsy has been performed, but no cause has been announced.

He spoke frankly of his struggles with depression and substance abuse in his music.

Miller and the 25-year-old Grande, who is now engaged to “Saturday Night Live” star Pete Davidson, were in a twoyear relationship that ended earlier this year.

She posted a wordless black and white photo of him on her Instagram post last weekend, but had not made any statements.

She ends Friday’s Instagram post by saying “above anything else, i’m so sorry i couldn’t fix or take your pain away. i really wanted to. the kindest, sweetest soul with demons he never deserved. i hope you’re okay now. rest.”

The casket with fallen Utah firefighter Matthew Burchett is loaded into a fire engine after the funeral at the Maverik Center in West Valley City, Utah, on Aug. 20. Burchett, a firefighter battling the largest wildfire in California history, was killed last month when thousands of gallons of flame-suppressing liquid were dropped from a Boeing 747 that was mistakenly flying only 100 feet above the treetops, according to an official report. RICK EGAN/THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE VIA AP

is to fly high enough for the retardant to disperse and fall like rain, but at such a low level they said the slurry would have hit the trees at nearly the same speed as the aircraft – more than 160 mph. The guide pilot “made a ‘show me’ run” for the 747 pilot over the intended path for the retardant drop, and marked the path for the jet with a smoke trail, according to the report.

“Obscured by heavy vegetation and unknown to the (747) pilot, a rise in elevation occurred along the flight path.”

The ground sloped up about 170 feet in the middle of what otherwise was a flat area, according to the report.

The guide planes have two people aboard, a pilot and an “air tactical supervisor,” a specially trained firefighter who directs the pilots of both the guide plane and the airtanker trailing behind.

“He laid down the line and he was directing the tanker and the tanker was following direction,” said Allen, the union president.

McLean said spotters have a difficult job because “the ground is very deceptive and very hard to read.”

The retardant drops were intended to help secure a firebreak cut through the trees by a bulldozer to stop advanc-

ing flames. Burchett and the other three firefighters were working on the hill next to the firebreak when the drop was announced over a radio and firefighters were told to “Clear the area out.”

The four did not respond to the warning, though the report says that “when personnel are working under a tree canopy, supervisors must ensure the drop path is cleared.”

Allen said the supervisor could face discipline for not getting an acknowledgement that the firefighters were evacuating.

It is not uncommon to have firefighters under retardant drops, McLean said, though he could not say if the four firefighters knew they were in the flight path or why they didn’t acknowledge or act on the radioed warning.

A firefighter who can’t move out of the way is trained to lie spread-eagled, face down, toward the oncoming aircraft, one hand holding the top of the helmet as it takes the brunt of the impact from the falling slurry and air turbulence that can threaten to lift a firefighter off the ground.

Burchett, a suburban Salt Lake City firefighter, was crushed by the uprooted tree, while the others were stuck by falling tree debris. Two had deep muscle contusions and ligament damage.

One also suffered broken ribs, while the fourth firefighter had scratches and abrasions.

“If Trump turns off the satellites, California will launch its own damn satellite... We’re going to collect that data.”

Gov. Jerry Brown D-Calif.

Summit Continued from Page 15A

The Democrat, who is leaving office at the end of the year, didn’t announce a launch date or divulge a cost estimate.

Brown’s office said government scientists and staff will work on the project, but that no state money will be spent directly developing the satellite.

Private donations are being made by San Francisco investment banker Richard Lawrence and his wife Dee Lawrence along with the Jeremy and Hannelore Grantham Environmental Trust.

Brown foreshadowed the announcement in a December 2016 speech to the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco a month after Trump’s election. The then-president elect had threatened to scrap NASA’s climate change funding.

“If Trump turns off the satellites, California will launch its own damn satellite,” Brown said at the time to cheers and applause from the geophysicists. “We’re going to collect that data.”

He also reminded them that he had floated a similar proposal during his first term as governor in the 1970s. The Chicago Sun-Times columnist gave Brown the Moonbeam moniker in 1976.

Royko said that Brown appeared to be attracting “the moonbeam vote.”

The name stuck for decades, even after Royko, who died in 1997, apologized and tried to retract it. Brown used to dislike the name but more recently has embraced it.

Before Brown’s announcement, two prominent Democrats and a Republican mayor criticized Trump for his decision to withdraw the United States from the landmark Paris climate accord.

“While Donald Trump may have pulled out of the climate agreement, the American people have not,” former Secretary of State John Kerry said

opening the second day of the Global Climate Action Summit.

Kerry, also a Democrat, called Trump’s decision “the single greatest act of irresponsibility of any president of the United States at any time,” Trump announced in June 2017 the United States’ intention to pull out of the international agreement, which Kerry signed while serving as President Barack Obama’s secretary of state. The 195 countries that signed the treaty agreed to commit resources to combatting climate change Trump said the agreement was unfair to the United States and would hurt the economy.

Kerry’s criticism of Trump came a day after the president blasted Kerry on Twitter for meeting with high-level members of the Iranian government.

Former Vice President Al Gore followed Kerry to the stage and got a rousing ovation when he said a new president can rejoin the Paris Agreement.

Gore, a Democrat, also criticized Trump’s recent denial that 3,000 people died in Puerto Rico in 2017 because of Hurricane Maria.

Gore said it’s difficult to deny that climate change is causing more severe weather but that “It’s a little harder to deny the 3000 deaths from the hurricane in Puerto Rico.”

James Brainard, Republican mayor of Carmel, Indiana, listed a number of Republican presidents and their environmental accomplishments, including President Nixon’s creation of the Environmental Protection Agency. He said he was disappointed Trump pulled out of the Paris Agreement.

“The president likes to talk about what a great country we are,” Brainard said. “Great countries honor their international agreements. Great countries show leadership to the rest of the world on critical issues. Great countries listen to their scientists and great countries strive to leave the world better than they found it.”

Crews remove a statue that some have called racist and demeaning to indigenous people near City Hall in San Francisco early Friday.

Controversial SF statue is removed Native American activists sought move for decades ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO – A 19th century statue near San Francisco’s City Hall that some said is racist and demeaning to indigenous people was removed early Friday.

A group of Native Americans chanted, beat drums and burned sage as the workers used a crane to take down the “Early Days” statue depicting a Native American at the feet of a Spanish cowboy and a Catholic missionary. It was part of group of bronze statues near City Hall that depict the founding of California.

Native American activists tried to have the statue removed for decades. They renewed efforts last year

after clashes broke out across the U.S. over Confederate monuments. Cities nationwide have tried to remove Confederate monuments following the racially motivated massacre of nine people at a black church in South Carolina and a violent white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

The San Francisco Board of Appeals voted unanimously Wednesday for the removal of the statue, which was part of the Pioneer Monument first erected in 1894.

While American Indians have pushed for the statue’s removal for decades, it has not attracted the same furor as Confederate monuments elsewhere. In a 1996 compromise, a plaque was installed underneath the sculpture explaining that the monument “represents a conventional attitude of the 19th century.”

“I think we’re witnessing a moment in history where, commendably, San Francisco officials are doing the right thing to help rectify the mistreatment of

indigenous people,” Janeen Antoine, who is of Lakota heritage, told the San Francisco Chronicle. “We’re very happy this is finally happening after decades of work and struggle from the native community.”

The statue will be restored and put in storage until officials decide what to do with it, said San Francisco’s Arts Commission spokeswoman Kate Patterson.

The cost of removing the sculpture, which required a sculpture conservation specialist and a crane, fully restoring it and paying for storage will be $120,000, Patterson said.

Several entities including a California museum have expressed interest in displaying it, but Patterson said she couldn’t discuss who they are because the commission is not yet considering the sculpture’s next home.

“Our priority is to restore it,” Patterson said. “We’re not entertaining the offers at this movement so, I won’t discuss that right now.”

POINT MUGU – An unmanned Navy reconnaissance aircraft was damaged in a belly-landing at a Southern California base this week.

Navy officials tell the Ventura County Star a remotely piloted MQ-4C Triton was on a flight Wednesday when it experienced mechanical issues and was turned back to Naval Base Ventura County Point Mugu.

The jet’s landing gear failed to deploy and it skid-

ded down the runway on its belly.

Cmdr. Dave Hecht says the Triton sustained significant damage.

Base spokeswoman Theresa Miller says the Triton costs approximately $110 million.

The Northrop Grumman-built Triton is the Navy’s version of the Air Force RQ-4 Global Hawks, which have been operated for 20 years.

The Triton can fly intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions lasting more than 24 hours at altitudes above 10 miles.

Large luxury home burns in Brentwood ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES – Fire has ravaged a large, vacant luxury residential property in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles.

More than 100 firefighters have been battling the flames since around 4 a.m. Friday.

The Los Angeles Fire Department says the property on Rockingham Avenue above Sunset Boulevard originally was a 7,500-square-foot ranch-style home built in 1950 but it’s current configuration isn’t immediately known.

Man found dead after Los Angeles house fire ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES – A man was found dead after Los Angeles firefighters extinguished an early morning fire in a home in the Sunland area.

The Fire Department says a female housemate in the rear of the home was awakened by smoke and grabbed her cellphone to call 911 as she escaped early Friday, but not before suffering smoke inhalation.

The body of the 52-year-old man was found in the front portion of the one-story home where there was heavy fire damage.

CEO of California’s $350B pension fund has no degree ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO – The chief executive of California’s $350 billion pension fund does not have a college degree and the revelation has startled some retirees.

Marcie Frost, who leads the California Public Employee Retirement System – the largest in the U.S. – did not claim to have a college degree when she was hired to lead CalPERS in 2016, the Sacramento Bee reported Thursday.

But Frost now faces criticism after a blogger pointed out Frost implied in her application and in a statement announcing her hiring that she was working on obtaining a college degree.

Blogger Susan Webber wrote Frost said she was pursuing dual degrees at The Evergreen State College in Olympia when she applied to CalPERS but she had not taken any classes there since 2010.

“We are surprised. You just assume in today’s market if you’re going to be CEO of the nation’s largest retirement system that you’d have some kind of degree,” Tim Behrens, president of California State Retirees, told the newspaper. He added, “I don’t think anything happened badly because of her lack of a degree.”

Frost, 54, said her career accelerated first in Washington state and then at CalPERS since she first took classes at Evergreen in 2010. She did not enroll in a class after that year, although she said she still intends to obtain a degree.

“It’s something that I will finish in my life but this position at CalPERS is the most important thing I’m doing today,” she said.

She earned $387,000 at CalPERS last year, according to state salary records.

Five board members told The Sacramento Bee they

knew of Frost’s lack of degree but said they chose her because they believed she was someone who could work to advance the fund’s goals.

“Quite frankly it’s not a piece of paper. It’s about somebody who can do a job. She presented herself as the best person who could do the job in that interview,” said CalPERS Board of Administration Vice President Rob Feckner.

CalPERS board member Margaret Brown, who was not on the board when Frost was hired, told Bloomberg News last month that she wants CalPERS to open an investigation into Frost’s hiring.

She is the only board member of the fund demanding some kind of action following Webber’s reporting on Frost.

Colombian kingpin is charged in smuggling operation Brian Melley

ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES – A Colombian drug kingpin who participated in a violent ring that used planes, speedboats and submarines to smuggle hundreds of millions of dollars in cocaine faced federal trafficking charges Friday in a Los Angeles courtroom, prosecutors said.

Victor Hugo Cuellar-Silva is among nearly four dozen defendants charged in a vast conspiracy to ship tons of cocaine from South America through Mexico to the U.S. The indictment unsealed Thursday was unique in targeting people throughout the drug distribution chain from the source of where the coke was produced in Colombia to investors in Mexico, transportation coordinators, houses where the drugs were stashed and to large scale distributors in the U.S., federal prosecutors said.

Cuellar-Silva, who was extradited Thursday from Colombia, was a highranking member of the drug ring headed by Mexican fugitive Angel Humberto Chavez-Gastelum, who is one of the most-wanted drug traffickers in the Gastelumworld, prosecutors said.

Salazar Chavez-Gastelum and his son, Alonso Jaime Gastelum-Salazar, are also charged in the indictment with two counts of murder in Mexico. One of the victims was tortured and dismembered and the grisly act was shot on video obtained by investigators, prosecutors said.

“This drug ring has spread death and misery across the Americas and to other parts of the world, which makes this case among the most significant drug trafficking cases ever brought in this district,” said U.S. Attorney Nick Hanna.

Authorities seized more than 7,700 pounds of co-

caine with a street value over $500 million during the three-year investigation.

The seizures included cocaine recovered after a plane was shot down by the Venezuelan military and crashed in the Caribbean, said Assistant U.S. Attorney ChavezBenjamin Barron.

Gastelum Other drugs seized included nearly a ton of cocaine floating in bales off the coast of Tumaco, Colombia and more than 1,500 pounds of cocaine and over 60 pounds of methamphetamine seized in a Tijuana, Mexico, house.

The indictment charged 47 people in the drug operation. Seven defendants were arrested in the U.S. Thursday, four were in custody in Thailand and about a half-dozen were facing extradition from Colombia.

The others remained at large.

Cuellar-Silva was in custody. A defense lawyer representing him said he had no comment.

Democrats unveil big online ad play Two PACs combine for $21M digital buy targeting Senate races Nicholas Riccardi ASSOCIATED PRESS

Two major Democratic political groups on Wednesday announced a combined $21 million digital ad buy targeting Senate races in November, a sign the party is trying to learn from 2016, when Donald Trump’s Republican presidential campaign was more aggressive online.

Priorities USA and Senate Majority PAC announced $18 million in joint spending in Arizona, Indiana, Florida, Missouri and North Dakota. Senate Majority PAC also tacked on an additional $3 million in ads targeting Montana, Nevada, Tennessee and West Virginia.

“For the last really six years, the Democrats have had their hats handed to them when it comes to digital,” said Guy Cecil, the chairman of Priorities USA, which is exclusively funding digital ads and outreach this election cycle.

“We needed to close the gap.”

The move comes as Democrats and Republicans are fighting over control of the Senate, where the GOP currently has a narrow 51-49 edge. Although almost all competitive seats are in states Trump won in 2016, Republicans are alarmed about the strength of Democratic candidates in states such as Tennessee, Texas and Arizona.

The size of the campaign is significant. According to Priorities USA, $7 million has been spent on advertising for Senate races on Google since May 31, with Republicans outspending Democrats 60-40. Facebook did not have comparable data.

Through the end of August, Senate Majority PAC, one of the biggest Democratic financial organizations in the battle over control of the upper chamber,

spent $37 million in ads on television and radio, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

J.B. Poersch, president of Senate Majority PAC, said it’s important to maintain a mix of traditional television and radio ads along with digital. But for years, he said, “I don’t think we had digital at the adults table.”

The conventional wisdom in politics is that Democrats dominated in digital during much of the Obama years because they were more advanced in gathering online data and using it to target voters. But that changed in 2016, when the Trump campaign outspent Hillary Clinton’s Democratic campaign nearly 2-to-1 online, according to a Priorities USA presentation to donors obtained by The Associated Press. The outspending also stretched to various House races.

Right-leaning groups registered vastly more online domains through the beginning of 2017.

Since 2016, Democrats have increasingly focused on digital as a way to strike back against the GOP, with liberal

Silicon Valley entrepreneurs holding trainings for Democratic campaigns and some liberal insurgent candidates, like Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez in New York City and Ayanna Pressley in Boston, winning recent primaries with minimal television ads and instead relying mostly on digital ones.

The GOP continues to invest in digital and traditional advertising, but no Republican organization of comparable prominence to Priorities has announced an all-digital strategy.

Damon McCoy, a New York University professor who analyzed Facebook political ad spending data earlier this summer, said Democratic and Republican groups spend at comparable rates on the platform with one significant exception: Trump. The president’s own reelection campaign was the biggest political ad spender in the analysis that McCoy and other academics conducted.

“Removing him (and) the spending is fairly split between liberal and conservative candidates and political organizations,” McCoy said.

Apple Watch inching toward being medical device Michael Liedtke ASSOCIATED PRESS

CUPERTINO – Apple is trying to turn its smartwatch from a niche gadget into a lifeline to better health by slowly evolving it into a medical device.

In its fourth incarnation, called Series 4 and due out later this month, the Apple Watch will add features that allow it to take high-quality heart readings and detect falls. It’s part of Apple’s longin-the-making strategy to give people a distinct reason to buy a wrist gadget that largely does things smartphones already do.

Since the Apple Watch launched in April 2015, most people haven’t figured out why they need to buy one. Apple doesn’t release sales figures, but estimates from two analysts suggest the company shipped roughly 18 million watches in 2017. Apple sold almost 12 times as many iPhones – 216 million – last year. Worldwide, about 48 million smartwatches are expected to be sold this year, compared with nearly 1.9 billion phones, according to the research firm Gartner.

Apple CEO Tim Cook has long emphasized the watch’s health and fitnesstracking capabilities. The original version featured a heart-rate sensor that fed data into fitness and workout apps so they could suggest new goals and offer digital “rewards” for fitness accom-

plishments.

Two years later, Apple called its watch “the ultimate device for a healthy life,” emphasizing water resistance for swimmers and built-in GPS for tracking runs or cycling workouts. In February, the company announced that the watch would track skiing and snowboarding runs, including data on speed and vertical descent.

The latest version, unveiled Wednesday, is pushing the health envelope even further – in particular by taking electro-

cardiograms, or EKGs, a feature given clearance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Apple said. The watch will also monitor for irregular heartbeats and can detect when the wearer has fallen, the company said.

EKGs are important tests of heart health and typically require a visit to the doctor. The feature gained an onstage endorsement from Ivor Benjamin, a cardiologist who is president of the American Heart Association. He said such real-time data would change the way doctors work.

Gartner analyst Tuong Nguyen said the feature could turn smartwatches “from something people buy for prestige into something they buy for more practical reasons.”

It could also lead some health insurance plans to subsidize the cost of an Apple Watch, Nguyen said. That would help defray the $400 starting price for a device that still requires a companion iPhone, which can now cost more than $1,000.

Apple’s watch will use new sensors on the back and on the watch dial. A new app will say whether each reading is normal or shows signs of atrial fibrillation, an irregular heart rate that increases the risk of heart complications, such as stroke and heart failure.

Apple says the heart data can be shared with doctors through a PDF file, though it’s not yet clear how ready doc-

tors are to receive a possible flood of new EKG data from patients – nor how useful they will find the electronic files.

Eric Topol, a cardiologist and director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute, warned that the EKG feature could spur more tests than necessary, result in unnecessary prescriptions for blood thinners and overwhelm doctors with calls from patients who probably don’t need treatment.

He said that while the feature will probably save some lives and prevent strokes with early detection of heart trouble, “the ratio between the benefits and the costs remains a big unknown.”

Apple said the EKG feature will be available to U.S. customers later this year, an indication that it might not be ready for launch.

Fall detection could also be significant, especially for elderly users. The new Apple Watch claims to be able to tell the difference between a trip and a fall – and when the latter occurs, it will suggest calling 911 (or the equivalent outside the U.S.). If it receives no response within a minute, the watch will automatically place an emergency call and message friends and family designated as emergency contacts.

Only certain Apple Watch models support cellular calls, but those that don’t can still make emergency calls when near a paired iPhone or Wi-Fi service.

Stem cell transplant cements father and son’s bond Terry Tang

ASSOCIATED PRESS

GILBERT, Ariz. – Thirty-five years after an Arizona man cared for his son when he was shot in their native Lebanon, the son is returning that devotion.

Both the Rev. John Ibraham Sabbagh and his 54-year-old son, Ebby Sabbagh, are celebrating one year of going strong since the elder Sabbagh received a crucial stem cell transplant. After undergoing chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukemia, the 88-year-old opted to undergo the transplant in September, 2017, at Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center in Gilbert, about 20 miles southeast of Phoenix.

It was Ebby, also the oldest son, who ended up being enough of a match and providing the stem cells.

“We all have learned from this: Be a positive fighter,” Ebby said Friday as he helped his father stand to look at the cake hospital staff provided for his transplant anniversary. “If he doesn’t give up, we don’t give up.”

Dr. Rajneesh Nath has done stem cell transplants on several elderly patients.

But never on one as old as John. Nath said he could tell after chemotherapy and other low-intensity therapies that the elder Sabbagh was strong for his age.

“He was walking the hallways and his ability to tolerate (treatment) was not

any different than any of the younger patients we treated,” Nath said.

It was ultimately John’s decision and he wanted to take the most aggressive approach. The elder Sabbagh, who was a chaplain for Arizona Department of Corrections for 13 years, said he thinks of himself as a fighter.

“A fighter, but not in negative way,” he

said in a soft-spoken voice.

Dr. Andrew Yeager, director of the Blood and Marrow Transplantation Program at the University of Arizona Cancer Center, said he would give the transplant team “a bottle of good booze to say ‘Boy, you had the guts to transplant to someone in their late 80s.’”

“It’s really up there and atypical,”

Yeager said.

An elderly transplant recipient may have a harder time in some areas such as recovery. Donor stem cells can go on the attack post-transplant, a condition known as graft-versus-host disease.

That can be debilitating even for a young patient. Also, Yeager said, patients ages 60 and older sometimes already have underlying issues with their major organs.

Ebby says their roles are now essentially reversed from when he was shot in Tripoli in 1983 during the Lebanese Civil War. Ebby had just turned 18. He was driving his dad’s car to pick up ice cream after finishing exams. Several men sprayed his car with gunfire at a surprise checkpoint, Ebby said. Despite shrapnel wounds and part of his left leg getting torn off, he managed to drive away.

Eventually friends helped get him to a hospital. He was later transferred to a hospital in Beirut and spent more than three months there in recovery. John made the two-hour commute from Tripoli to stay in the hospital or with friends.

“Through this whole thing, Dad was right by me,” Ebby recalled. “He refused to go home until he takes me with him.”

The experience of helping his father through cancer has in some ways brought them closer.

“What I’m getting back is tons. Every moment I cherish,” Ebby said.

Expanding Frontier adds six new routes, two new cities

cally heavy snow. Last season, however, saw just a fraction of the area’s average, and the snow didn’t come until January and February.

Frontier Airlines will now fly nonstop from Orlando, Florida, to more destinations than any other carrier, the company said Wednesday as it announced six seasonal new routes.

Four of those were from Orlando, with Frontier revealing nonstop options to Burlington, Vermont; Little Rock, Arkansas; Louisville, Kentucky; and Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

With the additions, Frontier will now offer either seasonal or yearround service to 54 nonstop destinations from Orlando International.

“Orlando represents Frontier’s second largest city in our network, both in terms route options and daily flights, and we are pleased to offer the only nonstop flights from Orlando International to 14 cities,” Josh Flyr, Frontier Vice President of Network and Revenue, said in a statement.

Still, despite Frontier’s roster of 54 nonstop destinations from Orlando, many of its routes operate just a few times a week. That means other airlines at Orlando still fly more passengers thanks to their more-robust schedules.

While Frontier targeted Orlando, it also added two new cities to its network: Burlington and Portsmouth.

Frontier will become just the second carrier flying from the New Hampshire’s Portsmouth International Airport; Allegiant is the other.

Lighter snow prompts push to extend Grand Canyon tourism Felicia Fonseca ASSOCIATED PRESS

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – With snowfall dwindling at the Grand Canyon’s North Rim, tourism promoters see an opportunity to stretch the visiting season at the less popular side of the canyon so more people experience it and spend money in the region.

The canyon’s North Rim is fully open

less than half of the year and isn’t as easy to get to as the South Rim, which attracts 90 percent of the canyon’s annual 6.25 million visitors. The North Rim has equally stunning views but is more serene, with cooler temperatures and far fewer tour buses.

The North Rim lodge and its infrastructure weren’t meant to handle harsh winters, and most employees are hired seasonally because of the histori-

Retail sales increase just 0.1 percent after previous strong gain in July Retail sales barely rose in August as consumers slowed their spending after a robust month of shopping in July.

The Commerce Department said Friday that the value of purchases ticked up just 0.1 percent last month, the smallest increase in six months. But the sluggish figure may prove to be only a temporary blip. It partly reflected falling prices for items like clothing, and it followed a strong gain of 0.7 percent in July.

Consumer confidence soared to its highest level in 18 years in August as Americans expressed a more optimistic outlook on the economy. That suggests that retail sales could rebound in the coming months.

Average mortgage rates climb with 30-year at 4.60 percent Long-term mortgage rates this week jumped to their highest level since the start of August, raising costs for would-be homebuyers.

Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday that the average rate on 30-year, fixed-rate mortgages climbed to 4.60 percent from 4.54 percent last week. The average rate has surged from 3.78 percent a year ago, posting the largest annual gain since May 2014.

The average rate on 15-year, fixed-rate loans rose to 4.06 percent this week from 3.99 percent last week.

Solid job growth has boosted demand from would-be homebuyers. But rising prices, a shortage of sales listings and higher rates have been a drag on sales.

The National Association of Realtors said last month that existing homes have tumbled 1.5 percent over the past year.

US industrial production rises by a solid 0.4 percent in August U.S. industrial production rose by a healthy 0.4 percent in August, boosted by gains in the production of autos, oil and natural gas.

The Federal Reserve said Friday that industrial production, which includes output at factories, mines and utilities,

has climbed 4.9 percent over the past 12 months. Industrial production appears on track for its strongest annual growth since 2010, when it jumped 5.5 percent as the economy began to recover from the Great Recession.

Factory production increased 0.2 percent last month, lifted by a 4 percent rise in the making of vehicles and parts.

$1.5 million settlement for Muslim workers fired in prayer dispute A big U.S. meatpacker has agreed to pay $1.5 million to 138 Somali-American Muslim workers who were fired from their jobs at a Colorado plant after they were refused prayer breaks, a federal anti-discrimination agency said Friday.

Cargill Meat Solutions, a division of Minnesota-based agribusiness company Cargill Corp., also agreed to train managers and hourly workers in accommodating Muslim employees’ prayer breaks at its Fort Morgan beef processing plant, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission said.

with the first significant snowfall – and then the entire area reopens in mid-May. Advocates of lengthening the visiting season, some blaming or thanking climate change, envision adding a couple of weeks to both ends of the tourist season when the highway has little to no snow.

They’d like to expand the season even more than that later.

“The end game for us is to get it open year-round or most of the year so we can promote ourselves as a four-season destination,” said Camille Johnson, tourism director for Kane County, Utah, in Kanab, the closest major city in Utah to the North Rim. The 30-year average for snowfall at the North Rim is more than 11 feet a year, but the average over the past decade has fallen by more than 3 feet annually, according to the National Weather Service.

The season-to-season amounts can fluctuate greatly. About 3 feet fell between last October and May, indicative of a drier weather pattern in the Southwest. More than four times that amount fell in the same period the previous season, making a weather-based decision to extend the visitor season more difficult.

Readjusting the North Rim season makes sense from a climate change perspective, said Jonathan Overpeck, a climate scientist at the University of Michigan “There’s some caution warranted because we will still get the big snow storms and the big snow years that they want to protect the visitors from,” he said Tuesday.

The North Rim sits at more than 8,000 feet above sea level and is bordered by national forest land where a herd of bison roam. It has few amenities – a 1930s lodge that’s a national historic landmark, a gas station and a campground.

A drive from the Utah-Arizona border takes three hours roundtrip, so adding services and hiring people to provide them would be key to attracting visitors beyond the May-October period, said Dirk Clayson, chairman of the Kane County Board of Commissioners.

“The problem is solvable,” Clayson said. “Whatever we can do to influence, raise funds or lobby back in D.C. for additional staffing, we’re willing to do.”

A meeting is planned next month to chart out immediate and long-term proposals, but Johnson said she would not expect major changes for five to 10 years.

To provide services beyond the season, the park would have to hire the workers beyond their sixmonth stints, upgrade its water system because pipes buried just inches below the ground are susceptible to freezing, weatherize cabins and provide more resources for snowplowing, said park spokeswoman Kirby-Lynn Shedlowski.

She said the park hasn’t committed to anything but participating in meetings and letting people know when the park shuts down services in October that it’s still open for day use until the highway closes.

“That’s a low-lying fruit we can tackle this year,”

Shedlowski said. “Longer-term stuff is going to be understanding what is the true capacity of the North Rim.” Those who visit the North Rim typically aren’t seeing the Grand Canyon for the first time and are looking for a quieter experience than the South Rim, Shedlowski said.

Some make the North Rim trip as part of the Grand Circle – a collection of national park sites in the Southwest U.S. that includes Zion in Utah, Mesa Verde in Colorado, the Great Basin in Nevada and Chaco Culture National Historic Park in New Mexico.

One remote and rugged part of the North Rim stays open year-round but has no services and requires high-clearance vehicles.

Will James, the owner of Dreamland Safari Tours in Kanab, Utah, guides visitors to the scenic Toroweap outlook with views of the Colorado River that’s lower in elevation and doesn’t get much snow.

He wonders whether extending hours at the rest of the North Rim is necessary and whether the economics would work out like tourism promoters think.

“Part of me feels like, do we have to year-round, over-commercialize everything?” he said.

Frontier’s two other routes announced Wednesday also are to warm-weather destinations. Flights from Atlanta to Sarasota, Florida, begin Dec. 10, and nonstops from Philadelphia to Montego Bay, Jamaica, start Feb. 10.

Frontier will be the only carrier to fly between Burlington and Orlando. It will face competition of some sort on all five of the other routes.

Frontier also did not detail any route reductions in announcing the six new options, but the carrier is known for quickly – and often quietly – dropping routes that do not meet its expectations. Some are discontinued “seasonally” with no firm plans to resume the service.

Along with Spirit and Allegiant, Frontier is one of the USA’s three big “ultra low-cost carriers.” Those carriers – along with Sun Country, which is currently adopting the model – are known for offering rockbottom base fares but charging extra for nearly everything else beyond boarding the aircraft.

Frontier’s six newest routes are: Orlando-Burlington: Service (seasonal) begins Feb. 9; two flights a week (Wednesday Saturday) on Airbus A320 aircraft.

Direct competition: None.

Orlando-Little Rock: Service (seasonal) begins Nov. 16; two flights a week (Monday, Friday) on Airbus A320 aircraft.

Direct competition: None, though rival Allegiant flies from Little Rock to Orlando’s secondary Sanford airport that’s about 25 miles from central Orlando.

Orlando-Louisville: Service (seasonal) begins Nov. 15; two flights a week (Thursday, Sunday) on Airbus A320 aircraft.

Direct competition: Delta and Southwest. Allegiant also flies to the nearby Sanford airport.

Orlando-Portsmouth: Service (seasonal) begins Dec. 6; three flights a week (Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday) on Airbus A320 aircraft.

Direct competition: None, though rival Allegiant flies from Portsmouth to Orlando’s secondary Sanford airport that’s about 25 miles from central Orlando.

Atlanta-Sarasota: Service (seasonal) begins Dec. 10; three flights a week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) on Airbus A320 aircraft.

Direct competition: Delta.

Philadelphia-Montego Bay: Service (seasonal) begins Feb. 10; two flights a week (Thursday, Sunday) on Airbus A320 aircraft.

Coachella Valley bighorn sheep stride into fall

RJ MATSON/CQ ROLL CALL

Our next financial crisis is a matter of when, not if Saturday marks the 10th anniversary of the collapse of Lehman Bros., and it would be nice to report that Wall Street and Washington had learned the lessons of the Great Recession and put in place measures to prevent a recurrence. Nice, yes. Accurate, no.

In fact, little has been done to address the structural problems in markets that were so obvious during the bankruptcies, bailouts and bank runs of the last crisis. Even less has been done to anticipate the problems that will lead to the next crisis.

It’s not as if Congress, the Fed and successive presidential administrations didn’t see the problems.

In the months after the Lehman collapse, all manner of reforms were considered. But after passing the relatively narrow Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act in 2010, lawmakers considered the job done, and lobbyists began chipping away at the changes.

That lack of action ensures that the next crisis is a matter of when, not if.

To be sure, Dodd-Frank did take some important actions, most notably in requiring that banks maintain stronger balance sheets to protect them in the event of widespread loan defaults. But important parts of that law — including a section barring banks from making casino-like wagers on such things as interest rates and currencies — have been watered down in the ensuing years.

More ominous is the fact that significant areas of the financial system were not addressed in DoddFrank. And companion legislation to fix these vulnerabilities never materialized. Among the remaining areas of concern: ❚ Bond rating agencies. These firms, led by the likes of Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s, gave sterling ratings to securitized bundles of toxic mortgages for the simple reason that they were paid by the issuers to do that. In the past 10 years, there has been much hand-

wringing but precious little progress in eliminating the obvious conflicts of interest rife in the ratings game. ❚ Money market funds. These ultraconservative bond funds are still treated like bank deposits, which means that investors have every incentive to pull their money out if they hear that some of the fund’s bonds have defaulted. This happened in 2008 with something called the Reserve Primary Fund, prompting a 1930s-style bank run. And it could very well happen again. ❚ Government-sponsored enterprises. Opinion is divided on the role that three unusual companies — Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae — played in the Great Recession. But it is clear they pose a serious threat going forward. Thanks to their special connections to government, they can borrow money more cheaply than other companies, and have used this to dominate the business of guaranteeing mortgages against default. They are on the hook for $6 trillion in outstanding mortgages in America, a disturbing concentration of risk. Efforts to delink these companies from government to enable a broader and more diversified industry have gone nowhere.

Defenders of the financial status quo argue that regulation is not the answer. To some degree, they have a point. Even the relatively light regulation of banks included in Dodd-Frank has prompted a fair amount of gamesmanship. This is evident in how banks are slowly ceding much of the home loan origination business to nonbank institutions such as Quicken Loans.

Nevertheless, given what the years 2007 through 2009 showed about how fragile financial markets can become during crises, it is amazing how little the nation has learned.

USA TODAY’s editorial opinions are decided by its Editorial Board, separate from the news staff.

As summer turns to fall (thank goodness!), we desert residents can all breathe a little easier. Within “we desert residents,” I also include our local herds of Peninsular bighorn sheep.

Despite the recent heat, the just-concluded lambing season was a good one with survival rates substantially higher than last year. Why? It’s a bit hard to say, especially in light of the recent dry winter, but we at the Bighorn Institute are not complaining.

All of the region’s watering holes had plenty of sheep visits over these past months and vegetation growth was more than enough to keep the animals fed. Insofar as lamb mortality can sometimes reach 75 percent during their first 12 months, a better than average yield so far this year is a much-needed offset to the year before.

Of late, two adult rams with unusual health concerns have surfaced. One has a rope around his right hind leg and the other has abnormally enlarged testes.

Both animals have been seen on various La Quinta golf courses and both appear to be in otherwise good health. In fact, despite the hobbling effect of the rope, that ram has now eluded capture by state wildlife authorities at least four times.

The nimbleness of these majestic creatures remains a wonder, even under handicapped conditions. Further attempts to capture these animals and address their problems will likely be undertaken in the fall. If you happen to see either one looking distressed (e.g., not eating, unable to get up) please give the Bighorn Institute a call at (760) 346-7334.

I’ve banged this particular drum before, but recent evidence suggests further banging is in order: Please do not feed the sheep!

This up-close-and-personal behavior may seem harmless, but it habituates wild sheep to non-native foods and the presence of people. The result is unnatural congregations of sheep in places like golf course fairways, where they are exposed to predators, subject to drowning in water hazards, and tempted to eat ornamental, but poisonous, foliage such as oleander.

Moreover, it is illegal under any circumstances to feed or touch a federally endangered species, as our local sheep have been so classified since 1998.

If that’s not enough reason, PGA West has taken to fining miscreants and rightly so! Believe it or not, there is plenty of native stuff that sheep can find to eat along the desert slope. Please resist the temptation to give them what they absolutely don’t need.

YOUR VOICE Serena Williams’ behavior shocking

US Open Championship final in New York. Serena Williams was accused of cheating, yelling at the court umpire And throwing her racket in disgust, both during and after the tournament. She even played the race and gender card.

These things aside, her actions took away from the joy and memories of young Naomi Osaka, who outplayed Serena and deserved to win.

Shame on you, Serena.

Jim Hudson, La Quinta

I was dumbfounded at what I saw in this year’s US Open women’s tennis final. This time it wasn’t the usual suspects (McEnroe, Conners, and Nastase), but our very own Southern California gift from the gods, Serena Williams. Think what you will, but my English mother, the 1936 California State Doubles Champ Joan Castledine, would be aghast at such behavior.

Tennis is a game of honor. To misbehave, no matter what the reason, is part of what has become an almost constant circus-like side show in today’s big-time tennis world.

Serena may have a point about favoritism and sexism favoring men in general, however, she crossed the line when she called the chair umpire “a thief.” That is not only a sign of disrespect, but something not to be condoned as acceptable behavior for young children who might follow in Serena’s footsteps.

No one is beyond the law, except for people who have become too self-important. Maybe Serena should run for president? In this case, two wrongs don’t make a right!

Christopher Reutinger, Ventura

Serena Williams forgets early lesson “Well, everybody does it.”

Federal prosecutors in Washington said Friday that they will retry Nick Slatten, 34, of Sparta, Tennessee, on a charge of first-degree murder in the shooting that killed 14 unarmed Iraqi civilians and wounded 17 others, including women and children.

Slatten’s second trial ended in a hung jury Sept. 5. Jury selection for the third trial was set to begin Oct. 29.

much as 11 feet of ocean water, and days of downpours could unload more than 3 feet of rain, touching off severe flooding.

The National Weather Service said 16 inches of rain had already fallen in parts of North Carolina.

North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said the hurricane was “wreaking havoc” on the coast and could wipe out entire communities as it makes its “violent grind across our state for days.” He called the rain an event that comes along only once every 1,000 years.

“Hurricane Florence is powerful, slow and relentless,” he said. “It’s an uninvited brute who doesn’t want to leave.”

In New Bern, North Carolina, where the Neuse and Trent rivers intersect, about 200 people were rescued after being stranded in their homes overnight, according to Mayor Dana Outlaw.

Another 150, including some trapped in second floors of houses or in attics, awaited rescue.

The mayor said at least 4,200 homes and 300 businesses sustained damage from flooding.

“Things here are very, very serious,” Outlaw said. “If you’ve ever doubted the destructiveness of a hurricane, what’s happening here will make you a believer.”

Authorities advised residents who have not evacuated to go to the highest point in their homes, call 911 for help, keep their cell batteries charged as best they can and wait for help to arrive.

At 2 p.m. EDT, Florence, weakening as it moves inland at 5 mph, was 35 miles west-southwest of Wilmington and 35 miles east northeast of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, packing sustained hurricane-force winds of 75 mph, the National Hurricane Center said.

National Weather Service forecasters said the storm would roam along the coast for at least two more days before reaching Columbia, South Carolina, early Sunday. It was also expected to slip briefly back into the open water during the journey.

The NHC said Florence went ashore near Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, at 7:15 a.m. EDT with estimated maximum winds of 90 mph.

astating inland flooding is predicted.

Power could be out for weeks.

If federal responders were looking to show they can handle the worst, Florence is shaping up as a formidable test. That also means that a successful recovery could help restore a bit of FEMA’s luster as it struggles to emerge from the shadow of Maria, which led to the deaths of nearly 3,000 people.

But the task has been complicated

by President Donald Trump’s recent praise for his administration’s response to Maria – drawing attention to what’s seen as a dark chapter for the agency rather than focusing on the robust response it’s assembling for Florence.

The position in which the agency finds itself now is not unlike a decade ago, when its reputation was tarnished

by Hurricane Katrina, said Craig Fugate, the FEMA administrator under President Barack Obama.

Fugate came on board more than three years after Katrina, but the shadow of criticism from the agency’s response to that devastating storm lingered years after his arrival.

“I cannot change what people think,” Fugate told USA TODAY. “I cannot go back and change what happened in Katrina, just like (current FEMA chief) Brock (Long) cannot go back and change what happened in Maria.

“But the agency’s got to focus on the disasters in front of them, and we constantly improve and get better and then get challenged in ways we never expected. When we fall down, we have to get up and go again.”

Long and other FEMA officials have avoided dwelling on Maria or making comparisons with Florence.

Trump has not been so shy.

His claim Thursday morning that Maria’s death toll was severely inflated by political opponents – which followed an earlier claim that his administration’s response in Puerto Rico was an “unsung success” – infuriated critics on the island and beyond, who say FEMA should have done more to save lives.

San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz on Thursday called the president “de-

lusional, paranoid and unhinged from any sense of reality.”

Sen. Marco Rubio, a Florida Republican, lamented that the deaths had become political.

“Both Fed & local gov made mistakes,” Rubio tweeted. “We all need to stop the blame game & focus on recovery, helping those still hurting & fixing the mistakes.”

Florence’s full impact won’t be known for several days. But hurricane experts say FEMA is better poised to deal with the storm than it was for Maria, for several reasons: ❚ The agency isn’t preoccupied with other catastrophic storms. ❚ The Carolinas don’t present the logistical challenge an island like Puerto Rico did. ❚ North Carolina, in particular, has a well-respected and seasoned emergency management team in place. Mike Sprayberry, who heads the North Carolina Emergency Management office, is the current president of the national association of emergency managers. Fugate called Sprayberry’s crew “one of the top in the nation.” ❚ FEMA has had the opportunity to learn from the lessons of Maria.

In a report issued in July, FEMA acknowledged staffing shortages and logistical challenges in responding to Maria.

A robust and successful response to and recovery from Florence is crucial, said Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee, D-Texas.

But “it won’t erase the lives that are lost,” she said.

Calculating Maria’s toll took months Study’s leader rejects claim of political motive Rick Jervis USA TODAY

A team of researchers spent six months poring over death certificates, speaking to funeral home directors and interviewing doctors to arrive at a death toll of nearly 3,000 people as result of Hurricane Maria’s devastation to Puerto Rico, the lead author of the study says.

“This was a scientific research project commissioned by the government of Puerto Rico and independently done,” said Carlos Santos-Burgoa, who led the study from George Washington University’s Milken Institute of School of Public Health.

Santos-Burgoa pushed back on President Donald Trump’s tweets Thursday questioning the study’s estimate of the death toll. Without offering evidence, Trump said Democrats were involved in an effort to overstate the results in order to discredit him.

“We stand by what we did,” SantosBurgoa said, adding that the study that found 2,975 deaths underwent rigorous peer review. Puerto Rico has adopted that figure as its official death toll.

The analysis, released in August, suggested that Hurricane Maria was the

second-deadliest storm ever to hit U.S. shores. The deadliest was in 1900, when a hurricane in Galveston, Texas, killed an estimated 6,000 people.

“The victims of Puerto Rico, and the people of Puerto Rico in general, don’t deserve to have their pain questioned,” Gov. Ricardo Rossello said in a Facebook video Thursday. “We accept the number

of deaths. ... We left this analysis in the hands of scientists and experts.”

Several prominent Republicans distanced themselves from Trump’s comments on the Puerto Rico death toll, including House Speaker Paul Ryan.

Puerto Rican officials approached the Milken Institute in December. At that time, the official toll was still 64. By Feb-

ruary, Santos-Burgoa’s team had a contract with the government for the study.

A key provision was that the study be conducted independently without input from Puerto Rican – or any other – government officials, he said.

“They never made any suggestions of anything,” Santos-Burgoa said.

A team of 11 investigators from George Washington, four researchers from the University of Puerto Rico and local leaders spent months poring over death certificates on the island, looking at vital statistics data stretching back seven years before the storm to compare mortality rates.

The university’s researchers interviewed doctors, health officials, funeral home directors, hospital directors, forensic pathologists and others involved with the death certification process to get a full picture of how deaths were classified after the storm and used guidelines set by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The report concluded that doctors and forensic pathologists on the ground in Puerto Rico didn’t have the correct guidance – from either the state or federal government – to accurately classify deaths, leading to the low figure.

“We have to understand how these deaths happened so we can prevent them from happening again,” SantosBurgoa said.

Koreas open first liaison office ahead of Moon-Kim summit Thomas Maresca Special to USA TODAY

SEOUL, South Korea – North and South Korea opened their first liaison office near their tense border Friday in a bid to facilitate better communication ahead of an eagerly awaited summit of their leaders in Pyongyang next week.

The opening – in the North Korean border town of Kaesong – is the latest in a series of reconciliatory steps the rival Koreas have taken this year. The office is the first of its kind since the nations were divided at the end of World War II in 1945.

The industrial park – which combined South Korean ventures, capital and technology with cheap labor from North Korea – was seen as a test case for unification of the two countries, but its operation was suspended in 2016 amid an escalating standoff over the North’s launches of long-range missiles.

The resumption of the Kaesong industrial complex and other dormant inter-Korean projects aren’t likely to happen soon because U.S.-led international sanctions on North Korea over its nuclear and ballistic missile programs remain in place.

MONEY Florence may increase what you pay for bacon Zlati Meyer USA TODAY

North Carolina, the second-largest hog producer in the U.S., is in the path of Hurricane Florence. But whether the belly of the pork industry will be hit hard enough to impact prices for shoppers at supermarkets around the country remains to be seen.

There’s concern that extreme weather could kill enough animals to affect supply. However, if the hogs remain unharmed – in some cases, farmers have relocated them – the issue then becomes how soon after the hurricane the area’s slaughterhouses can reopen. Otherwise, the animals can get too big and produce too much meat.

The total U.S. inventory of hogs and pigs was 73.5 million, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s quarterly report, released June 28. North Carolina was home to 8.9 million – or 12 percent – of those. The difference between pigs and hogs: Pigs generally weigh less than 200 pounds, while hogs are 200-plus pounds.

Phil Flynn, senior market analyst at the Price Futures Group in Chicago, is bullish on hogs and anticipates as much as a 30-cent-per-pound hike at grocery stores.

“It could be big bucks,” he said. “What makes this even more potentially devastating is we could wipe out millions of hogs.”

Americans do love their pork. U.S. shoppers spent $6.24 billion on fresh pork in the 52 weeks ending Aug. 25, according to the consumer data company Nielsen. That’s up 0.9 percent compared to the same period a year earlier.

Christine McCracken, senior protein analyst for Rabobank, isn’t buying that pork prices will go up at food stores. She sees the issue as the logistics of getting the hogs to the processing plants due to freight routes downed by Hurricane Florence.

“Meat companies will struggle. They will have lower sales for some period of time,” she said.

McCracken said there are large inventories of pork across the country to cover some of the shortfalls. In the path of the hurricane sit five hog processing plants that will remain offline for several days, though if too many days go by, they may have to stay open beyond their regular Monday-through-Friday schedules to catch up afterward.

Iconic VW Beetle will be no more next year as car sales plummet Nathan Bomey USA TODAY

The Bug has been squashed.

Volkswagen has confirmed that it will end production of the Beetle in 2019, though it hinted the car could one day be revived.

The future of the iconic Beetle had been a subject of speculation for months. The German automaker has shifted its emphasis to SUVs and a range of still-tocome new electric cars under the I.D. nameplate.

The Beetle had fallen out of favor among American consumers despite its iconic body style.

The last version will be offered in two special models: the Final Edition SE and Final Edition SEL. “The loss of the Beetle after three generations, over nearly seven decades, will evoke a host of emotions from the Beetle’s many devoted fans,” VW U.S. CEO Hinrich J. Woebcken said in a statement.

Could the Beetle eventually find new life once again? Woebcken hinted it’s possible.

“As we move to being a full-line, family-focused automaker in the U.S. and ramp up our electrification strategy with the MEB platform, there are no immedi-

ate plans to replace it,” he said. “But as we have seen with the I.D. Buzz – which is the modern and practical interpretation of the legendary Bus – I would also say, ‘Never say never.’ ” VW sold 15,166 Beetle models in the U.S. in 2017, down 3.2 percent. The current generation model has been in production in Puebla, Mexico, since 1997, VW said. The car first hit the U.S. in 1949. Passenger car sales have been plunging in the U.S. in recent years as American preferences shift to larger vehicles.

“In this environment the business case for cars in general, and small cars in particular, becomes increasingly difficult to justify,” wrote Karl Brauer, executive publisher of Kelley Blue Book and Autotrader. “Anyone surprised or disappointed by this announcement better prepare themselves. In the months to come more automakers will be announcing more iconic model cancellations.”

The 2019 Beetle will include convertible and coupe versions, each powered by 2-liter gas engines with 174 horsepower, a six-speed automatic transmission and average fuel economy of 29 miles per gallon. Pricing starts at $23,045 for the coupe and $27,295 for the convertible.

MARKET PERFORMANCE BY SECTOR

S&P 500’S BIGGEST GAINERS/LOSERS

Apple rules wearables market again Worldwide wearables shipments grew 5.5 percent annually to 27.9 million during the second quarter, according to research firm IDC. A higher mix of pricier smartwatches boosted the segment’s dollar value by 8.3 percent to $4.8 billion.

Apple retained its position as the market leader, thanks to strong demand for its LTE-enabled Apple Watch, according to IDC. The recent introduction of watchOS 5 and the launch of the Apple Watch 4 this week could widen that lead.

Xiaomi continued to dominate the low-end market with its Mi Band devices, which cost less than $30. The company also recently diversified its portfolio with children’s smartwatches and shoes.

Fitbit, which lost its crown to Apple last year, continues to lose market share due to waning demand for basic and midrange fitness trackers. It was also the only market leader to post a yearover-year drop in shipments. However, IDC said that Fitbit’s Versa smartwatch was still the world’s “second largest smartwatch brand” with 1.1 million units shipped.

There’s still plenty of room for all these companies to grow – IDC expects wearable shipments to rise from 124.9 million this year to 199.8 million by 2022.

Leo Sun owns shares of Apple. The Motley Fool owns shares of and recommends Apple and Fitbit. The Motley Fool has the following options: long January 2020 $150 calls on Apple and short January 2020 $155 calls on Apple.

Canelo Alvarez works out in front of the media before his fight against Gennady “GGG” Golovkin at the Banc of California Stadium on Aug. 26 in Los Angeles. HARRY HOW/ GETTY IMAGES

Revered boxing trainer Joel Diaz was in Las Vegas a year ago, coaching rising stars Vergil Ortiz Jr. and Diego De La Hoya to victories on the undercard of the Gennady Golovkin versus Canelo Alvarez middleweight championship bout.

He watched much of that main event from the locker room, in the bowels of T-Mobile Arena, and has carried some strong opinions for the last 12 months, as the drama has built leading up to Saturday’s CaneloGGG rematch following their split draw.

The most straightforward opinion Diaz has maintained is that, while many said Golovkin won the first fight, Diaz believes that Alvarez could have won but didn’t because he wanted to better the possibility of a rematch that would pay him more than the $5 million purse he earned a year ago.

“The first fight, I think was more of a business fight,” said Diaz, who trains boxers out of Indio Boys & See REMATCH, Page 4C

Jones claims pole for playoff race in Vegas

The Deuce

Greg Beacham

ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAS VEGAS – Erik Jones surprised the field by winning the pole Friday for the opening race of the NASCAR Cup series playoffs, turning a lap in 28.705 seconds and narrowly edging Joey Logano.

Jones opened the first weekend of NASCAR’s 10race postseason by earning his second career pole in his Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota.

The 22-year-old is the youngest driver ever to win the pole at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

“You can’t start them off any better than that,” Jones said.

“We’ve got a long way to go this weekend, but we’ve got the speed to do it. … Was it maybe unexpected to outsiders, or people that aren’t in our group? Probably, but we’ve been consistently setting the bar high. For us, it was not a big surprise to be quick.”

Logano did his lap in 28.708 seconds in his Team Penske Ford to take a front-row spot.

Denny Hamlin was third, followed by Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick.

The Vegas race is the first of 10 playoff contests to crown a champion.

Jones is in the 16-driver playoff field for the first time, joining Alex Bowman as the debut playoff contenders for the title.

Jones had just one previous pole in his first 65 Cup races, but the youngster is quietly making progress.

He earned his first career victory at Daytona in July by holding off Martin Truex Jr. in overtime, and he has six top-10 finishes in eight races since that breakthrough.

“We struggled at the start (of the season),” Jones said.

“Around Daytona, I started to find the feel I was looking for, and we just refined that day by day, week by week.”

Jones knows he isn’t a favorite to earn a spot among the final four contenders for the title alongside presumptive frontrunners Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick and Martin Truex Jr., but he hopes to ride his momentum as far as it will go.

“I would say there’s probably a few dark horses” for the title, Jones said.

“I don’t think we’re the only ones. The Big Three are obviously the favorites to get to (the final race in) Homestead, but somebody has got to fill that other spot.”

Logano’s result also was a pleasant development for a driver with a playoff spot despite earning just one victory this season.

Logano laughed when asked if his strong showing in qualifying, combined with Brad Keselowski’s back-to-back wins heading into Vegas, meant that Team Penske had made a breakthrough in the garage in recent weeks.

“If they did, they didn’t tell me,” Logano said.

“I think you’re constantly trying to find stuff.

You’re constantly trying to catch up. We’ve been playing catch-up for the last year, two years. It’s nice to finally find a light at the end of the tunnel. I’m cautious about what it can be, but it’s a good start.”

Serena Williams talks fashion, not fouls at event Ken Ritter

ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAS VEGAS – Serena Williams talked about her fashion business and her family, but not tennis fouls during a Friday appearance before a business trade group in Las Vegas.

The 23-time Grand Slam champion wasn’t asked about gender equality in sports or an argument she had last weekend with the chair umpire at her U.S. Open finals match in New York during about 25 minutes onstage with Sarah Robb O’Hagan, chief executive of Flywheel Sports, at the National Retail Federation trade show.

Williams, who took no questions from the audience, said previously she felt she had been treated more harshly than a male player would have been for smashing her racket and arguing with match official Carlos Ramos during her straight-set finals loss to Naomi Osaka of Japan on Sept. 8 in New York.

Williams received three code violations and was penalized one game. She was later fined $17,000.

The incident drew a volley of commentary in recent days.

Tennis icon Billie Jean King said she believes tennis applies a double standard to women compared with men, and that a similar outburst by a male player would have drawn no repercussions.

A cartoon caricature of Williams appeared in an Australian newspaper drew comparisons to U.S. ra-

cial stereotypes of the past.

In Croatia, U.S. Davis Cup team captain Jim Courier said he thought the gender issue had been polarized and in some ways politicized.

“It’s been quite the week,” O’Hagan said before steering the conversation away from controversy.

“It isn’t the first time you have had to deal with unfair judgment against you, and yet you have this amazing an ability to come back with such courage and grace,” she said.

She drew applause praising Williams for calming a riled-up audience that booed the U.S. Open outcome to refocus the moment on Osaka’s victory.

“I feel it’s really important to stand up for what you believe in,” Williams said, “especially if it can affect the future and affect a lot of people in the future.

That’s what it’s all about.”

Williams also was asked about what O’Hagan termed “epic comebacks” during her 20-year tennis career, including having a baby a little more than a year ago.

The tennis star, who has her own fashion line, advised business owners to “really figure out, ‘What can I do to revamp and bring it back to the top?’”

“Really it’s just about having a great team … and rolling up your sleeves and hard work,” Williams said.

“I work really, really hard at my game. And then I work super hard at my fashion business. And I’m working incredibly hard at being a mom.”

Rematch Continued from Page 1C

Girls Club. “The sport of boxing became a business already, more than a sport, and we all know it. We don’t have to hide it.

“I just feel that Canelo could beat GGG in the first fight, but it was like, ‘OK, we’ll have a rematch and we’ll double the money, and we’ll make the people make a big deal of it,’ and that’s what they did.”

But after the rematch was scheduled for May 5, the buzz around a potential rematch wasn’t quite what some had anticipated. T-Mobile Arena had not sold out for the event, and the build-up felt somewhat contrived, Diaz said.

So, Diaz believes, Alvarez’s doping violation and subsequent six-month suspension was part of a scheme to ratchet up interest in a fight that now has the potential to generate more than the 1.3 million payper-view buys of last year’s bout.

“I honestly think that even that Clenbuterol story was made up; it never happened,” Diaz said. “Going into that May fight, there wasn’t a lot of interest, there wasn’t a lot of ticket sales. There wasn’t as much hype, so they create some sort of problem, issue: Clenbuterol. That’s what I think.”

It’s worth mentioning that Diaz works for Golden Boy Promotions, Alvarez’s promoter.

Golden Boy’s chief executive, Oscar De La Hoya, added that the doping violation forces Alvarez to fight with something to prove, and adds intrigue to the fight.

“I believe both fighters have something to prove,” De La Hoya said. “I believe both fighters need each other to cement their legacies. I strongly feel that now that there’s animosity between both fighters, we’re going to get the fight of the decade.

“I’m crossing my fingers that we see Marvelous Marvin Hagler and Thomas Hearns all over again.”

One of Diaz’s beliefs that is widely shared is that the year between fights does not benefit Golovkin. He’s now 36, which is just a year older than he was a year ago, but at this stage in a boxer’s career that can make a huge difference.

Diaz suggests that a wise strategy would be to draw out the rematch, put Golovkin through a pair of grueling training camps and hope that Alvarez benefits

from Golovkin’s aging.

“Another camp takes a toll on you at that age,” Diaz said. “The training puts a toll on GGG’s body at his age, to let Canelo grow more. Canelo’s young. He’s only 28.

He’s in his prime right now.”

One example Diaz points to when discussing the fragile aging of a fighter is Sergio Martinez, who was a still-dominant world welterweight champion at 39, yet was dominated by a younger Miguel Cotto in 2014.

Martinez retired after the fight.

Diaz doesn’t expect to witness the same scenario Saturday, though he wouldn’t be shocked. He said that he expects a good fight and believes that Canelo’s age and ability to out-box and counter-punch Golovkin will be the difference in a bout that may not be the last between these two middleweights.

“I just think, at the end of the day, for this fight, Canelo wins,” he said. “I wouldn’t be surprised if Canelo stops GGG. “I just hope everyone walks away from the fight happy. Of course, the people who lose are not going to be happy, but hopefully they at least see a fight that is entertaining and fair.”

Canelo Alvarez (L) and WBC, WBA and IBF middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin face off.

VALLEY ROUNDUP

Palm Desert rolls to big victory over Rancho Mirage in girls’ golf

Graham Dunbar ASSOCIATED PRESS

EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France – Tour rookie Maria Torres shared the four-way lead Friday after two rounds in her second major tournament. Top-ranked, two-time major winner Sung Hyun Park has the weekend off.

Torres, the first Puerto Rican to earn an LPGA Tour card, shot a 2-under 69 before Amy Olson (65), Mo Martin (66) and Mi Hyang Lee (66) matched her 8-under 134 total.

“It’s something new and it’s exciting (to lead),” said the 23year-old Torres, who is ranked No. 184. She missed the cut at 10 over in her only previous major, the Women’s PGA Championship won in July by the South Korean world No. 1.

Park (71) started and finished play Friday at 6 over at the sun-soaked Evian Resort Golf Club and missed the cut by three shots.

Olson had seven birdies and secured a share of the lead with an 18-foot par-saving putt on the 18th.

One shot back, Carlota Ciganda of Spain carded 70 to follow a 65 that only Torres equaled Thursday.

Prep football THURSDAY: MURRIETA MESA 48, LA QUINTA 7

Growing pains for La Quinta Lopsided loss drops Blackhawks to 0-4 Judd Spicer

Special to Palm Springs Desert Sun USA TODAY NETWORK

La Quinta High School’s march through non-league play ran into another speed bump Thursday night.

Falling hard in a 48-7 defeat to visiting Murrieta Mesa, La Quinta dropped to 0-4 on the year and has lost five consecutive games dating back to last season’s lopsided, first round playoff loss to Yucaipa.

Looking sloppy on special teams and offering inconsistent line play, further concern for the Blackhawks’ start may perhaps be found in the 6-8 cumulative record of their opponents to date.

Yet, as La Quinta works through a youth movement and the juggling of backup players for injured starters (including junior quarterback Christian Egson), first year head coach Patrick Rivenes hasn’t lost any hope as Desert Empire League play nears.

“I’m still positive. We’ve got a lot of heart on this team, but we’ve also got a lot of young guys, so the maturity level needs to step up,” said Rivenes after Thursday’s defeat. “It’s a lot to ask of young guys, but there are guys who have come before them that have gone through it as well. That’s Blackhawk football; we forge ‘em by fire.”

Along with assessing a roster replete with underclassmen, the Blackhawks’ new front man continues to grade his own performance.

“I’m making some mistakes and obviously haven’t got that win yet,” added Rivenes. “But it’s not just a focus on the wins, it’s trying to make this team better. Those wins will come if I do my job as a head coach and make these guys better prepared.

“Right now we just need to keep spirits high and move forward,” he said.

“We do have that fire, but we just need more guys to step up. And we’re still searching for that.”

As for the senior set, halfback Marcus McAvoy showed his own fire in Thursday’s loss, rushing for 123 hard-

earned yards on 22 carries and scoring La Quinta’s lone touchdown.

“We knew it was going to take some time. Coach brought in a new offense, and it’s a different way that he does things,” said McAvoy. “Yeah, we knew it was going to take some time, but we didn’t think it was going to come this slow.”

Acknowledging that injuries have slowed La Quinta’s progress, McAvoy, akin to his coach, hasn’t lost belief that the Blackhawks can find a groove come

DEL play.

“We’re searching for a win, and we have a lot of young guys that need to grow up fast,” McAvoy said. “We’ve got one more game until league starts. It’s time to grow up. And a big part of that is just trusting each other.”

La Quinta travels to play non-conference opponent Lakeside High (Lake Elsinore) next Friday night before league play begins a week later with a battle at Rancho Mirage.

touchdowns in three quarters of the game.

The performance was the most prolific from a Coachella Valley area running back since Cathedral City’s Orlando Wallace rushed for 442 yards and seven touchdowns against Coachella Valley High in 2014.

“I can’t do anything without my line,” Ridge said. “I care about the win mostly.

I’ll keep running, though. I’m going to keep going from here.”

Besides Ridge, only Wallace and Palm Desert’s Trae Riek have rushed for more than 400 yards in a game among area running backs since 2012. Riek ran for 456 yards and four scores against Cathedral City in 2013.

Not even La Quinta's Chris Toribio, who in 2014 became one of just five in the history of the Southern Section to eclipse 3,000 yards and 50 touchdowns, ever had 400 yards or six touchdowns in a single game.

“It’s not just the numbers but Manny’s ability to make something out of nothing and break tackles. The kid just doesn’t tire,” Desert Mirage coach Eric Perry said.

Perry gave the ball to Ridge 49 times Thursday. Some players dream of touching the ball that often, but Perry insists that there are very few anywhere who are capable of taking the pounding that comes with that, and still keep churning out big plays.

“I hear all the time, ‘Why don’t you get more creative?’” Perry said. “Trust me, I’ve tried everything in practice, but our best play still involves getting Manny the ball.”

The game wasn’t all about Ridge, though. Perry’s defense, which allowed 35 points per game in their first three of the season, stepped up in ways he couldn’t have imagined after entering the game with an 0-3 record.

The Rams kept the Golden Eagles scoreless in the second half, collected nine tackles for loss and allowed 194 yards of total offense — but just 89 over the final three quarters.

Desert Mirage also held Golden Eagles running back Robert Noriega to 10 yards on five carries a week after he ran for 196 yards in a Desert Hot Springs

win.

Quarterback Nathan Kelly of Desert Hot Springs was knocked out of the game in the third quarter on a brutal hit near the visiting sideline. The game was delayed nearly 30 minutes as emergency medical personnel arrived, placed him in a neck brace and helped him onto a stretcher and into an ambulance. Details of his condition were not immediately available.

With Desert Valley League teams starting the season a combined 3-21, the Rams took the opportunity to step up and make something of their season.

They’ll next play Indio for a chance to take sole possession of first place in the league.

“I thought we were better than our record, and we really showed that tonight. These kids work just as hard as anyone else, but don’t always get the results. So, for them to come out here after losing three games in a row and work, I couldn’t be prouder. I couldn’t.”

Indio Continued from Page 1C

dral City riding a tremendous effort by the offensive line, quarterback Aubuchon Martinez and sophomore running back Victor Hilario.

Both teams entered the game 0-3, so it was clear someone would be feeling mighty happy when this one was over, and it ended up being the visitors in Red and Blue.

“We had to put all our heart into this game and push through everything and that’s why we got the W,” said Hilario who finished with 48 carries for 233 yards and four touchdowns. “It feels so good. We needed that.”

Twice Indio led by 21 points -- 28-7 and 35-14 – but Cathedral City wouldn’t go away.

When Elijah Torres busted into the end zone for the third time in the game with seven minutes to go, the Lions cut the Rajahs lead to 42-35 and later had a chance to tie it.

After forcing an Indio punt, Cathedral City drove it inside the Indio 30 with about three minutes to go. Faced with a fourthand-14 play, the Lions tried a short pass. It looked like it had a chance, but Indio made the tackle after about 12 yards to get the ball back.

The Rajahs were then able to run the clock down and force Cathedral City to use its timeouts. Until they faced a fourth-and-6 with 44 seconds left at their own 25-yardline. Indio went back to punt, but used a hard count to draw the Lions off side, something that worked far too often against the Lions in this one.

That’s when Scott Gilbert, the new Indio coach, and apparently a bit of a riverboat gambler, sent his offense back out there.

Now looking at fourth-and-1 from his own 30-yard line with a seven-point lead and 44 seconds left, he felt like it was time to take a risk.

“I didn’t think twice about going for it there after that penalty,” Gilbert said. “At that point it was a roll of the dice, but I wanted to leave it in the hands of the offense and see if we could win the game. I felt like if we didn’t get it, our defense could still get the stop, but mostly I just believed in our guys and our line and I wanted it to be decided by them.”

It worked. Hilario and the Rajahs offensive line did what they’d been doing all night, and he rumbled up the middle for 9 yards and a first down. The game was sealed.

Even Martinez the quarterback was surprised by the decision, but he was happy with the result.

“It was kinda crazy, and it was a little scary, but the line did what they’ve been doing all night, getting that push and Victor plowed forward, and it worked,” Martinez said.

It was a much-needed win for the Rajahs, who had started the season 0-3 by being outscored by an unsightly 187-0.

But on this night they found their offense and may have found a new desert star in Hilario. He had injured his foot in the seasonopener and did not play the last two games.

But boy did he play in this one.

He used a mix of speed and power and finished the night with four touchdowns and well over 200 yards. Like a lot of the Rajahs' top players, he also played on defense, coming up with two sacks and a fumble recovery along the way. It makes sense after playing both ways in a three-hour plus game that he was still finding his breath during the postgame interview.

The win was important for the Rajahs after their slow start, but the Lions are desperate to get into that win column, too, having now lost 16 games in a row, dating back to a win over Indio in 2016. And they played like a desperate team, particularly in the second half.

Quarterback Nico Guardiola hit Lee Talamantes on a beautiful 70-yard strike and followed that up with 25-yard touchdown run on the next possession to turn a 35-14 Indio lead into a 35-28 battle.

Torres, who finished with more than 170 yards rushing and three scores, including a beautiful 50-yarder in the first half, said this one hurts, but they’ll move on.

“It sucks, it really does hurt,” Torres said, of the close loss. “It hurts to not be able to win. You're so close and you can taste it, but it’s not how you lose but how you handle the loss and we’ll move on.”

The Lions (0-4, 0-1 DVL) move on to play at Desert Hot Springs next Friday.

Indio (1-3, 1-0 DVL) hosts Desert Mirage next Friday.

Bryant relishes second chance Receiver glad Raiders decided to re-sign him Michael Wagaman ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA, Calif. – Martavis Bryant is back with the Oakland Raiders and focused on getting up to speed again in coach Jon Gruden’s offense with an eye on playing this Sunday in Denver.

One day after signing a one-year contract to return to Oakland, the 26year-old Bryant was in a positive and playful mood while speaking to reporters Thursday. He had been acquired in a trade with Pittsburgh in the spring and then released by Oakland earlier this month.

“I was very surprised but at the same time I knew there was a plan,” Bryant said. “I didn’t get overly frustrated. I was with my family the whole time. I honestly didn’t know what was going to happen. I just stayed focused and continued to do the things I needed to do to get back to football.”

Talk has circulated for three months that Bryant could be suspended by the NFL for another violation of the league’s substance-abuse policy. Bryant missed all of 2016 while suspended for the same reason.

The Raiders have avoided discussing the topic publicly. Bryant said he has heard nothing from the NFL. “I don’t know nothing abut none of that,” Bryant said. “All I’m here to do is play football. As far as that stuff, I’ll let that process take care of itself.”

The Raiders are hoping Bryant can help spark Oakland’s passing game, which was shut down in the second half against the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night.

That was the original plan when they traded a third-round pick to the Steelers to get Bryant before heath issues prevented the veteran receiver from practicing for most of training camp.

When Bryant was released as part of final roster cutdowns, Gruden said it was because he had been outplayed by some of the team’s other young receivers. On Wednesday, Gruden said that Bryant was in a good place.

“He looks good,” offensive coordinator Greg Olson said. “He stayed in shape. He stayed around town so he’s still involved in the game and working out. He retained a lot of the things that we were doing with him previously, so he looks good.”

Bryant agreed.

“This is just another thing that I’ve been through in my career,” Bryant said.

“I made some mistakes when I was at a younger age and I learned from that. I didn’t get overly down on myself as I beat myself up the first time I got suspended. I’ve been through it before so I know how to stay focused and just fight through it.”

Bryant said he avoided watching the Raiders’ 33-13 loss to the Rams, although he remained in the Bay Area after being released by Oakland on Sept.

1.

What he missed was the Raiders passing attack going dormant in the second half. Wide receivers Jordy Nelson and Amari Cooper were limited to four catches for 32 yards combined, none after halftime.

Bryant is hopeful of joining them in Denver when the Raiders play the Broncos.

“I’m going to be ready to go,” Bryant said. “We’ve got a couple more days of practice in. I’m going to go out and put hard work in with the guys. If coach needs me to go in Sunday, I’ll be ready to go.

“I’m comfortable now but at the same time with coach Gruden’s offense

you have to continue to study every day and continue to be a student of the book. You need tough love to be the best. I have a lot of work to do and he’s going to continue to push me.”

Notes Defensive tackle Justin Ellis was placed on injured reserve with a foot strain. … The Raiders signed defensive tackles Johnathan Hankins and Clinton McDonald.

COSTA MESA, Calif. – The Los Angeles Chargers will be missing at least two starters when they visit the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

Offensive tackle Joe Barksdale and defensive end Joey Bosa have not practiced all week and are nursing injuries that could have them out for a while. Barksdale injured his right knee in last Sunday’s 38-28 loss to Kansas City and Bosa has a bone bruise in his left foot.

Cornerback Craig Mader, who is used mostly on special teams, is also out due to a hamstring injury.

Wide receiver Travis Benjamin (foot) is questionable. Benjamin did not practice Wednesday or Thursday but was limited on Friday. Coach Anthony Lynn said he is “very optimistic” that the seventh-year receiver will be able to play on Sunday.

Hunter Henry, who tore a knee ligament during offseason workouts in May, was doing some running during the early part of practice. The thirdyear tight end is on the physically unable to perform list, but there remains a small chance he could return by the end of the season.

“It is a nice little carrot in front of him. The more I watch him it was amazing how he looked today,” Lynn said.

NFL NOTES

Falcons RB Freeman (knee) out for Sunday’s game FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. – Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against Carolina because of a knee injury.

Coach Dan Quinn made the announcement after Friday’s practice.

Freeman wasn’t able to practice all week.

The running back was injured in a season-opening loss to Philadelphia, another blow to a team that also lost defensive stalwarts Keanu Neal and Deion Jones.

Neal went down with a season-ending knee injury, while Jones was placed on injured reserve with a foot problem.

The Falcons are hopeful that Neal will be able to return, but he will have to miss a minimum of eight games.

Freeman’s injury came after he sat out the entire preseason in order to stay healthy.

That decision came after he was banged up repeatedly during the 2017 season, sustaining two concussions and a right knee injury.

Tevin Coleman will take over the starting spot.

Rodgers questionable for Packers game with Vikings: Still no answers on A-Rod. Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is questionable for Sunday’s NFC North showdown with Minnesota.

Rodgers, who missed the end of the first half of the Week 1 victory against Chicago with an injured left knee, did not practice Wednesday and Thursday and would not have practiced on Friday.

“Aaron’s getting better,” coach Mike McCarthy said Friday. “I would say he feels better than he did at the beginning of the week. (Saturday’s) practice will be a pretty big indicator. … nothing has changed. He’s clearly day to day. Hopefully, he’ll be able to do work (Saturday).”

Even if Rodgers doesn’t practice on

Saturday, he could play on Sunday.

“You’d like to walk off the field Saturday and have your plan set, but this is the National Football League, things happen,” McCarthy said. “We’ll be ready for anything, but I know he wants to play.”

Roethlisberger returns to practice, questionable for Chiefs: Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger returned to practice after skipping two workouts due to a right elbow injury.

The 36-year-old’s status for Pittsburgh’s home opener against Kansas City is uncertain. The team listed him as questionable on its final injury report.

Roethlisberger injured the hand on Pittsburgh’s next-to-last offensive snap

in a Week 1 tie against Cleveland. The 15year veteran skipped practice on Wednesday and Thursday as a precaution.

Roethlisberger will likely make his 202nd straight start barring a setback.

If he can’t go, the Steeler (0-0-1) will turn to backup Josh Dobbs.

Guard David DeCastro and cornerback Joe Haden are doubtful to play. DeCastro is dealing with a broken right hand, while Haden strained a hamstring against the Browns.

Titans’ Vrabel expects to use 2 QBs against Texans: Tennessee Titans coach Mike Vrabel says he expects to play both starting quarterback Marcus Mariota and backup Blaine Gabbert on Sunday against the Houston Texans.

Mariota didn’t throw during the open portion of practice Friday for the second straight day. He was listed as limited and questionable on the team’s final injury report. Mariota injured his elbow in a season-opening 27-20 loss to the Miami Dolphins.

Whoever plays at quarterback will be playing behind a makeshift offensive line missing left tackle Taylor Lewan, who sustained a concussion in the Dolphins game and didn’t practice all week.

Right tackle Jack Conklin, still recovering from surgery on his left knee in January, is out as well.

Seahawks sign LB Mychal Kendricks despite legal troubles: The Seattle Seahawks have signed linebacker Mychal Kendricks despite his recent guilty plea on insider trading charges.

The Seahawks announced the signing Friday, raising the possibility Kendricks will be able to play on Monday night when Seattle plays at Chicago.

Kendricks visited with the Seahawks on Thursday and a deal was agreed upon.

Kendricks’ signing is largely because of injury concerns at linebacker. Seattle is without K.J. Wright after minor knee surgery late in the preseason, and Bobby Wagner is dealing with a groin injury suffered in the opener that kept him out of practice on Thursday.

Jets’ Kearse appears ready to play, Maye doubtful: New York Jets wide receiver Jermaine Kearse practiced fully for the third straight day and appears ready to play after sitting out the season opener with an abdominal injury.

Kearse was hurt during training camp and needed surgery but has made a quick recovery. He was the Jets’ leading receiver last season with 65 catches.

Kearse says he’s feeling good, but coach Todd Bowles would not yet confirm that the receiver will play against the Dolphins on Sunday.

Vanderbilt at No. 8 Notre Dame

The Week 3 slate in college football has been truncated somewhat as Hurricane Florence threatens to wash over much of the southeast. There will still be a number of meaningful games, though some of them might be played in soggy conditions.

Here are the five most impactful contests this weekend in the race for the College Football Playoff.

Saturday, 2:30 p.m. ET, NBC Following their triumph over Michigan in Week 1, this would appear to be the type of game the Fighting Irish should handle with relative ease if they are in fact a top 10 team. But is it? The Commodores aren’t expected to contend for the SEC title, but they handled a pair of overmatched opponents with little drama to build some momentum.

Though Notre Dame struggled to put away Ball State last week, its defense, paced by LB Te’von Coney and S Alohi Gilman, will still pose the biggest test Vandy senior QB Kyle Shurmur has faced this season. TE Jared Pinkney could figure prominently in the Commodores ball-control plan. The Vandy defense, anchored by LB Josh Smith, has been stout as well, and Notre Dame QB Brandon Wimbush has a troubling ratio of one TD pass to four picks through two games. He’s going to need some long gainers from RB Jafar Armstrong.

No. 13 LSU at No. 7 Auburn Saturday, 3:30 p.m. ET, CBS The battle for supremacy in the hyper-competitive SEC West begins with this all-Tiger affair. A loss isn’t a playoff killer, but clearly the winner will be in a much better position to challenge oddson favorite Alabama down the road.

Like some past meetings in this series, this year’s version has the makings of a classic defensive struggle that could turn on a single big play. After a lowscoring escape against Washington, Auburn was able to work out some offensive kinks against Alabama State last week. Even so, QB Jarrett Stidham isn’t likely to get much ground support against LB Devin White and the stout LSU front.

The Bayou Bengals haven’t needed to use much of their offensive playbook thus far, but QB Joe Burrow will have to take more chances this week. Protecting him has been an issue, even against FCS member Southeastern Louisiana, and Auburn DT Dontavius Russell is more than capable of collapsing the pocket.

No. 4 Ohio St. vs. No. 14 TCU Saturday, 8 p.m. ET, ABC As far as the playoff picture is concerned, the Big 12 right now looks like a one-Sooner pony. That perception will change in a heartbeat if the Horned Frogs can pull off a stunner in their own backyard. The Buckeyes, however, remember how last season’s bid was in part derailed by a loss to a Big 12 opponent. They’ll be determined not to let that bit of history repeat itself.

This de facto road game in Arlington, Texas, loomed as the most significant of the three contests for which Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer would be suspend-

No. 17 Boise St. at No. 19 Okla. St. Quarterback Dwayne Haskins has thrown for 546 yards and nine touchdowns for Ohio State in the two wins this season. JOE MAIORANA/USA TODAY SPORTS

ed. But other than a few late points surrendered to Oregon State with the outcome long since determined, it’s hard to see how Ohio State’s first two outings without him on the sideline could have gone much better. The Horned Frogs haven’t looked quite as polished in their warmup games, and they’ll have to be nearly flawless here. Similar to Alabama, the added dimension of a deep passing game brought by QB Dwayne Haskins has made an already strong Ohio State squad even more dangerous.

TCU will have to hope its swarming defense, featuring senior LBs Arico Evans and Alec Dunham, can limit big plays.

Horned Frogs QB Shawn Robinson will need all his mobility to stay clear of Buckeyes DE Nick Bosa. Senior WR KaVontae Turpin is TCU’s most dangerous breakaway threat who can also do damage in the return game, but the Buckeyes haven’t punted often.

No. 12 Washington at Utah Saturday, 10 p.m. ET, ESPN The Huskies must hope their Week 1 setback against Auburn was indeed not an insurmountable obstacle to their playoff pursuit.

With the margin for error gone, they now begin their quest for the Pac-12 crown with what figures to be a challenging cross-divisional tilt.

The Utes for their part hope to be in the mix in the South.

Utah hasn’t been flashy during its 2-0 start, but the defense has allowed a total of 16 points. LB Chase Hansen and Co. probably won’t quite maintain that level of stinginess against Washington’s veteran backfield duo of QB Jake Browning and RB Myles Gaskin, so the Utes are going to need QB Tyler Huntley to provide some fireworks in the downfield game.

Huskies DT Shane Bowman will lead

Saturday 3:30 p.m. ET, ESPN Round ’em up for an entertaining rodeo as the Cowboys and Broncos try to lasso a quality victory. On the surface, this is the first true measuring-stick game for a pair of top 20 teams. But there’s a bit more to it. Oklahoma State will have more opportunities for meaningful wins on its Big 12 schedule, but this contest will show the young Cowboys if they’re ready for those future tests. For the Broncos, the Mountain West favorites who are competing with every other Group of Five league contender for a spot in the big-money bowl rotation, this is their one and only shot at a power-five opponent.

Thus far against overmatched opposition, both offensive units have done as they’ve pleased. The only cause for concern for Cowboys QB Taylor Cornelius might be his three interceptions. Broncos DE Durrant Miles will lead the effort to bother him, but RB Justice Hill will be there to help. Veteran Boise State signal caller Brett Rypien has been pick-free in his two outings this season, and he’ll need all his game experience in the hostile environs in Stillwater.

Texas, USC fight for survival Both have shaky QBs, anxious fan bases Jim Vertuno

ASSOCIATED PRESS

AUSTIN, Texas – A Southern California-Texas rematch was supposed to be an early-season blockbuster. With both programs struggling, it feels more like a fight for survival, and the pressure is mounting to find a win to keep their seasons from spinning off course.

The No. 22 Trojans (1-1) and Longhorns (1-1) meet Saturday night with both teams facing questions about their quarterbacks and how nervous fans would react will react to another loss.

There’s little question about the talent in the Trojans’ J.T. Daniels, USC’s first true freshman starting quarterback in a decade. It’s more about how he handles the team in another pressure cooker in front of a loud crowd that will likely approach 100,000.

Daniels won his debut against UNLV but the offense struggled badly and managed just a field goal in a loss last week at Stanford. Now he faces a Texas defense that harassed and hurried Sam Darnold for most of four quarters last season before the Trojans won in double overtime.

“You just keep playing football,” Daniels said. “Just because it hasn’t gone good to that point doesn’t mean it can’t go good at any point. It takes one big play and the whole momentum shifts.”

Count Texas defensive coordinator Todd Orlando among those impressed by what he’s seen of Daniels so far.

“Some of the balls that he throws are better than Sam Darnold did,” Orlando

USC quarterback J.T. Daniels speaks to reporters following his first college practice after winning the Trojans’ starting job Aug. 28 in Los Angeles.

said. “I mean, he throws a ball and it’s got a tail of smoke coming off of it. He’s going to be a special, special player.”

At Texas, the problem has been cleaning up a pattern of mistakes by quarterback Sam Ehlinger – mostly turnovers – that have been costly.

Ehlinger’s turnover issues started against USC last season when he had two, including a fumble in the second overtime that doomed the Longhorns in a 27-24 loss, and it would prove to be a season-long problem.

He worked to clean up the mistakes in the offseason, then threw two fourthquarter interceptions in a seasonopening loss to Maryland. He had a second-half fumble against Tulsa in a game Texas led 21-0 and held on to win 28-21. Ehlinger had a stellar fourth quarter against Tulsa, directing a timechewing drive to the Longhorns’ final touchdown.

Second-year Texas coach Tom Herman saw a huge victory slip away in overtime in Southern California last season. He’s now 8-7 after 15 games, and Longhorns fans are getting antsy for a big turnaround at a program that hasn’t contended for the Big 12 title since 2013.

Another 1-2 start with a team he promised is better than last season could be ugly in Austin.

“I love our fans,” Herman said.

“Mack Brown told me when I got the job that this can be the greatest job in America because there’s tens of millions of people that care very passionately about what happens with their Longhorn football team.”

Testing the safeties Injuries and attrition have depleted the USC secondary, most notably at safety. Texas will try to exploit that with deep routes to Collin Johnson, Lil’Jordan Humphrey and speedy Devin Duvernay. Johnson had a career game against USC last season with 191 yards receiving. Humphrey has a 40-yard touchdown this season and Duvernay has a 39-yarder.

“I’m expecting speed, I’m expecting size, I’m expecting a bunch of guys that are athletes out there,” Trojans defensive back C.J. Pollard said. “And they like to go deep, so we’re going to have to match their speed.”

Chasing Daniels A Texas pass rush that was supposed to be a strength is yet to appear.

Senior ends Breckyn Hager and Charles Omenihu don’t have a sack or a quarterback hurry in the first two games.

0-2 UCLA plays host to Fresno State Joe Reedy

ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES – Chip Kelly is 0-2 for the first time in his college coaching career. Kelly’s task of getting his first win at UCLA doesn’t get any easier on Saturday when it hosts Fresno State at the Rose Bowl.

With the Bruins off next week before beginning Pac-12 play on Sept. 28 at Colorado, Kelly hasn’t shied away from discussing the importance of this game.

“We need to get on the right side of the won-loss column so it is a big game from that standpoint,” Kelly said.

UCLA is trying to avoid its first 0-3 start since 1971, when it went 2-7-1. The last time the Bruins were winless after three games was 1983 (0-2-1).

Kelly has been encouraged, though, by his young squad’s improvement.

UCLA has the second-highest percentage of underclassmen among Power Five programs and the fourth-highest in the FBS at 71.7 percent.

What pleased Kelly the most from last week’s 49-21 loss to Oklahoma is

that they didn’t commit a turnover.

“Obviously, it’s a very young team so they are going to make mistakes, but they have learned from the mistakes they’ve made. But we got still a lot of work to do and still a lot of experiences for those guys to gain as we continue to play,” Kelly said.

UCLA’s biggest question going into the game is whether Wilton Speight or Dorian Thompson-Robinson will start at quarterback. Speight, a graduate transfer from Michigan, started the Sept. 1 opener against Cincinnati but suffered a back injury. Thompson-Robinson, a freshman, finished that game and started at Oklahoma.

Speight returned to practice this week and a decision isn’t likely to be announced until kickoff. Thompson-Robinson has completed 60 percent of his passes with a touchdown and no interceptions.

The 1-1 Bulldogs have a 10-game losing streak against Power Five programs, but they nearly forced overtime last week at Minnesota before having a halfback pass intercepted in the end zone late in the fourth quarter in a 21-14

loss. Fresno State has defeated the Bruins in their last two meetings, with the most recent coming in 2008.

“They’re a very talented football team. In no way shape or form can you get caught up in their record,” Fresno State coach Jeff Tedford said. “They have a lot of speed on offense and defense. We are going to have to stay disciplined to what we do.”

Here are some other things to watch as the Bulldogs and Bruins meet for the ninth time:

Special woes Both teams have struggled on special teams. UCLA allowed an 86-yard kick return and a 66-yard punt return last week, which Kelly attributed to a lack of effort by his team. The kick return was more frustrating because it came immediately after a Bolu Olorunfunmi touchdown gave the Bruins a 7-0 first-quarter lead.

Fresno State is averaging only 13.8 yards on kick returns and has not returned one for a touchdown since 2008, a span of 123 games.

Here are some things to watch in Week 3 of the Pac-12 Conference football season:

Game of the week So it’s kind of a tossup this week.

Pac-12 After Dark sends No. 10 Washington into Utah, while No. 22 USC visits Texas. Both Top 25 teams need to prove they belong there. The Trojans (1-1) are hoping to rebound from last week’s 17-3 loss at Stanford that dropped them in the polls. It was the fewest points USC had scored in more than two decades.

Washington (1-1) had a somewhat lackluster performance last week against FCS-level North Dakota and will have to get its offense going against the Utes (2-0), who could establish themselves as the team to beat in the Pac-12 South with a win.

Matchup of the week J.T. Daniels went 16 of 34 for 215 yards against Stanford, but also had two late interceptions, lost a fumble and got sacked four times. Still, it was against the Cardinal, who are now ranked in the Top 10. The experience could benefit

him in facing the Longhorns (1-1), who are coming off a 28-21 victory over Tulsa. Texas has just one sack and 10 tackles for loss in its first two games. One thing to watch: Daniels bruised his

throwing hand in the loss to the Cardinal but he says it won’t keep him out of the game.

Numbers game

Upset watch Oregon State heads to Nevada with its confidence boosted by a 48-25 victory last week against Southern Utah that broke an 11-game losing streak dating back to last season. Add to that the performance by freshman running back Jermar Jefferson, who rushed for 238 yards and four touchdowns. Jefferson is averaging 142.5 yards a game, second in the nation.

Last pennant race resonates Bob Nightengale Columnist USA TODAY

SAN FRANCISCO – The last great pennant race left some with the most beautiful memories in their careers and others with the ugliest of scars.

It created the most radical change in baseball’s playoff format, widely celebrated by today’s players but lampooned by many who played the game before them.

No matter what happens in the waning weeks of this year’s playoff races, nothing will compare to the drama 25 years ago. The Braves and Giants were engrossed in a pennant race that forever changed two franchises, altered the design of future playoff races and perhaps will lead to dramatic change in the sport.

The McGriff factor The Blue Jays wound up as World

Fred McGriff, who was traded to the Braves in July 1993, was a key factor in Atlanta's NL West crown that year. He heads to the Padres locker room for the final time after the deal was announced. DANA FISHER, AP

Barry Bonds hit a home run in his first at-bat at Candlestick Park on April 12, 1993. He finished the season with 46.

Series champions that year, but if the Braves had not been so exhausted from the epic race, maybe their fate would have been different.

“That ’93 team was the best team I ever played on,” McGriff said, “but we went so hard to catch the Giants, we had nothing left in the end.”

McGriff, who was acquired by the Braves on July 19, 1993, from the Padres, perhaps was most responsible for baseball’s last great race.

The Braves, even after signing ace Greg Maddux as a free agent during the offseason, were down nine games to the team that signed Bonds to a record sixyear, $43.75 million contract in the offseason.

“I remember saying, ‘I hope they got Fred McGriff too late,’ ” Baker said.

“Well, they got the quote wrong. They left out the word ‘hope.’ There was no way I would say that, but they used that for inspiration.”

McGriff hit .422 with seven homers and 12 RBI in his first 12 games, and the Braves caught fire.

Literally.

McGriff, who was at home nursing sore ribs when the Braves made the trade, drove from Tampa to Atlanta and was in the starting lineup for a 7:40 p.m. start. He immediately went to the trainer’s room for treatment.

The next thing he knew, they were being evacuated when the press box at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium caught on fire.

“The stadium is on fire, we’re all on the field bound and determined to get the game in,” Schuerholz said, “when the fire marshal came and said the fire was out. I’m standing next to (former owner) Ted Turner, and he says to me, ‘Tonight, the stadium caught on fire, and so will the Braves.’ ” McGriff, who had not played in nine days, homered that night in the Braves’ 8-5 victory over the Cardinals. They went on to win 27 of their next 35 games before meeting the Giants. They swept them, and on Sept. 10, the race was even.

Says Bonds, who hit .336 with a league-leading 46 homers and 123 RBI: “What I remember most is how they beat up on the Colorado Rockies. They couldn’t beat the Braves in a single game. Not once. They went 13-0.”

It was the Rockies’ inaugural season.

They were the opponent in the Braves’ final series, in Atlanta. The Braves swept them, winning the season finale 5-3, and then retired to the clubhouse to watch the Giants play the Dodgers in their finale at Dodger Stadium.

103 wins, no playoffs Baker, whose pitching staff was depleted, debated on starting Jim Deshaies, Scott Sanderson or rookie Salomon Torres. Baker took Torres to dinner, trying to judge his nerves, and prayed that evening.

Baker opted to go with Torres.

Future Hall of Famer Mike Piazza hit two home runs and Eric Karros produce three hits and two RBI in the Dodgers’ 12-1 rout. Torres lasted 31⁄3 innings.

“That hurt, and it still hurts,” says Clark, the Giants’ great. “You play so extremely well all year, and on the last day of the season, they’re playing the expansion Rockies and we’re playing our hated rivals.

MLB NOTES

Pirates OF Polanco will be out for 7-9 months PITTSBURGH – Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco could be out until next June after having surgery on his left shoulder.

The Pirates made the announcement on Friday, which was Polanco’s 27th birthday.

Polanco leads the Pirates with a career-high 23 home runs, 81 RBIs and 61 extra-base hits. He batted .254 this season.

Polanco dislocated his throwing shoulder on an awkward slide into second base on a double last Friday against Miami. He had surgery Wednesday to repair the labrum and stabilize his shoulder, and the Pirates said it is projected to take seven to nine months for a return to action.

“He’ll have the support of his family, he’ll have the support of the organization, he’ll have the support of a lot of people,” Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said before the game in Milwaukee.

“He’s a man that’s always been selfmotivated, focused. Now is the healing, the rehab, and the strengthening and then the getting ready to play, whenever

Machado drives in 3 runs for Dodgers Joe Harris

‘I’ll never forget that’ The Braves won 104 games and the National League West Division on the final day of the regular season. The Giants won 103 games but lost their final game and spent the playoffs at home.

“When we lost that last game,” thenGiants manager Dusty Baker told USA TODAY, “I kept going back to Candlestick every day for a week. I would sit in my office every day watching the playoff games. All by myself.

“My wife called one day, and said, ‘Baby, it’s over. You’ve got to come home. Please come home.’

“I swear I’ll never forget that as long as I live.”

Anyone and everyone who experienced the Last Great Pennant Race share the same sentiment, whether it was Hall of Fame pitcher John Smoltz and home run champion Fred McGriff from the Braves or home run king Barry Bonds and All-Star first baseman Will Clark from the Giants.

The Braves would win 14 consecutive division titles and the 1995 World Series, but they believe the 1993 team, which lost to the Phillies in the NL Championship Series, was the greatest of them all.

“I think that loss to the Phillies,” Smoltz said, “hurt more than any other loss just because that team was the best I played on.”

The Giants would go on to win World Series championships in 2010, 2012 and 2014, but they believe that their 1993 team might have been the greatest in franchise history.

“It was as magical a season as it can be without going to the playoffs,” Giants President Larry Baer said. “That season was such an incredible shock to the system. We went from the dreariness of 1992, to the somber feeling of being ticketed to be the Tampa Bay Giants in 1993, to taking the field in San Francisco, Barry Bonds hitting a home run on opening day and becoming the MVP, Dusty Baker becoming the Manager of the Year his first season, to that great race.

“It completely ushered baseball back to San Francisco after literally being pronounced dead and gone.”

THURSDAY: DODGERS 9, CARDINALS 7

that is. We’ll look forward to that,” he said.

With Polanco out of the lineup, four players will be vying for time in right field, Hurdle said.

Adam Frazier, Jordan Luplow, Pablo Reyes and rookie Kevin Kramer, who was called up Sept. 4, likely will share right field duties for the remainder of the season, Hurdle said.

“It’s going to be a daily decision on who we want to play second base and do we want to move Kramer to third base,” Hurdle said. “We did that the other day.”

Luplow got the start in right on Friday night against the Brewers.

The Pirates also said pitcher Chad Kuhl, on the disabled list since June with forearm and elbow tightness, is scheduled to re-examined after being unable to throw his scheduled side session earlier this week.

Aaron Judge activated by Yankees, no hitting yet: Aaron Judge took another small step in his return from a broken right wrist when the New York Yankees activated him from the dis-

abled list on Friday but said he is limited for now to playing in the outfield and pinch running.

Judge has not played since July 26, when he was hit by a pitch from Kansas City’s Jakob Junis. The Yankees initially expected Judge to return in about three weeks.

“With the roster, it makes some sense to have him available to, if there’s a spot where we can get him in, to run the bases or play some defense,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said before the start of New York’s final regularseason homestand. “He’s getting real close to being an option for us.”

Cubs reliever Pedro Strop to miss rest of regular season: Cubs reliever Pedro Strop will miss the rest of the regular season with a left hamstring strain, leaving the NL Central leaders with major questions at the back end of their bullpen.

The team announced the injury after Strop underwent an MRI on Friday.

Strop has been Chicago’s closer since Brandon Morrow was placed on the disabled list on July 18.

ST. LOUIS – The Dodgers got some help from a former Cardinal before their pivotal series against St. Louis.

David Freese, who joined Los Angeles in a trade with the Pirates at the end of August, offered some insight on the Cardinals’ young pitchers during the Dodgers’ hitters meeting. The advice paid off.

Manny Machado homered and drove in three runs to back Clayton Kershaw, and the Dodgers beat the Cardinals 9-7 in the opener of a fourgame series between playoff contenders.

“Just better approaches,” Machado said. “Keep it simple. See the ball, hit the ball. The guy’s going to have to throw it over the plate and when we make good contact and when we’re at our best, we’re not going to miss those opportunities.”

The Dodgers snapped a five-game losing streak against the Cardinals and moved to within one game of St. Louis for the final NL wild-card spot. The Cardinals, who went 22-6 in August, lost their second straight game and fell to 5-7 in September.

The Dodgers’ Manny Machado hits a home run off off Cardinals relief pitcher John Brebbia during the seventh inning Thursday in St. Louis.

THURSDAY: MARINERS 8, ANGELS 2

Angels officially out of the playoff race Joe Reedy

ASSOCIATED PRESS

ANAHEIM, Calif. – Nelson Cruz has enjoyed plenty of success over the years against the Los Angeles Angels.

This season has been the best yet.

The veteran slugger hit a three-run homer, Mike Leake pitched seven strong innings and the Seattle Mariners started a 10-game road trip with an 8-2 victory over the Angels on Thursday night.

Los Angeles was eliminated from playoff contention.

Cruz’s shot to center field off Neal Ramirez in the fourth was his eighth homer this season versus the Angels, the most by one player in a single year against the franchise, according to Baseball-Reference.

“That ball was in the air forever,” Seattle manager Scott Servais said. “Nelson has always swung the bat good against them, for whatever reason. He sees the ball good in this ballpark.

There’s really no ballpark that can hold him, but he sees real good pitches here.”

The home run was also Cruz’s 50th against the Angels, which gave him the second-most for any player against the team. Alex Rodriguez hit 70.

“I play a lot against them,” Cruz said. “So maybe that’s why.”

Leake (10-9) threw a season-high 114 pitches (80 strikes), allowing one run and four hits with a walk and five strikeouts. His only costly mistake came in the seventh when Justin Upton homered to left.

Fast and Floriferous A blooming palette for desert flower borders Maureen Gilmer Columnist Palm Springs Desert Sun USA TODAY NETWORK

Gertrude Jekyll would have loved our desert palette if she hadn’t been born in Victorian England. This “mother” of the color-centric English perennial border often utilized soft grays, cool colors and occasion hot plants to make the border pop. I was reminded of her when my friend showed me her beautiful patio edged with a border of true British density. Atop every plant were flowers, and

above hovered hummingbirds and bees in droves.

This is a subshrub border with larger plants than the traditional fussy perennials. It takes only a few to create a desert flower border of your own. The plants are proven to be well-adapted and perform well here. They are also well-prepared for occasional blast-furnace conditions or a frosty night that wipes out lesser perennials.

When provided with regular moisture, many of these bloom continuously See GILMER, Page 9D

At maturity, subshrubs can fill your border with a range of beautiful flowers this year. MAUREEN GILMER/SPECIAL TO THE DESERT SUN

Setting up an outdoor TV or projector has gotten easier Melissa Kossler Dutton ASSOCIATED PRESS

When Karen Snyder’s daughter asked if she could have friends over for swimming and a movie, the Los Angeles mom agreed. Then she looked for a way to keep the whole party outside to avoid wet clothes on her furniture.

She was pleased to discover that improvements in audiovisual equipment meant she could easily afford and set up an outdoor theater in her backyard.

“I was shocked at what was available and the pricing,” she said. “We could afford our own equipment and have it be portable.”

Snyder researched what she would need online, but many specialty and big-box stores employ consultants to help customers find the right products.

While pulling together a system isn’t difficult, you need to consider how you intend to use it, the features of your yard and what equipment you already own that can be used outside, AV experts say.

Customers have two main options for backyard viewing: outdoor televisions and projection systems.

The main challenge with outdoor viewing is attaining a bright-enough picture to offset natural light, said Martha Roussopoulos, a sales manager at Backyard Theater Systems in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.

Tell us what you like, meet a car you’ll love.

Televisions Outdoor televisions are not only designed to withstand the elements, but they are two to four times brighter than regular TVs, says David Barnett, a technical services manager for Magnolia Audio Video at Best Buy in Richfield, Minnesota. The starting price for an outdoor television is about $2,500, but one can easily cost twice that, he said.

Mounting TV sets in a covered area can improve visibility, adds Robert Silva, who writes about home theaters for the technology website Lifewire. If you don’t have a spot to hang the set, you might put it on a wheeled cart and store it in a shed or garage, he said.

Silva recommends televisions rather than projecSee PROJECTOR, Page 10D

HOT PROPERTY

A historic play, but made off the field Former Dodger sets up in LA Neal J. Leitereg and Jack Flemming LOS ANGELES TIMES

LOS ANGELES – Former Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Adrian Gonzalez, who was playing for the New York Mets earlier this year, has bought a grand estate in L.A.’s Hancock Park neighborhood for $10.5 million.

Set on two lots totaling about an acre, the Mediterranean Revival-style home was built in 1926 for J.B. Leonis, a banker and industrial developer who founded the city of Vernon. It remained in the Leonis family until the sale to Gonzalez, which closed toward the end of August.

The two-story mansion, which blends Palladian and Italianate elements, was designed by architect Richard D. King.

Within the 8,500 square feet of interiors are a beamed-ceiling entry hall, a paneled library with a fireplace, five bedrooms and staff quarters. Built as a showplace for entertaining, the home boasts large-scale living and dining rooms and multiple loggias set beneath groin-vault ceilings.

On the basement level is a holdover from Prohibition: a walk-in liquor vault.

Recreation and media rooms also lie on the lower floor. Rolling lawns, specimen trees, fountains, a swimming pool and a pool house make up the grounds. A three-car garage and detached cottage sit at the rear of the property.

Gonzalez, a five-time all-star, was released by the Mets in June after appearing in 54 games for the team. The 36year-old first baseman began last offseason as a member of the Dodgers, with whom he spent the previous 51⁄2 years, but was traded to the Atlanta Braves in December. He was released by the Braves two days after the trade and signed by the Mets in January.

Atwater Village duplex is dead to her Actress Morena Baccarin of the “Deadpool” films has sold an investment property in the Atwater Village

neighborhood of Los Angeles for $935,000. That’s $86,000 more than the asking price, real estate records show.

The property, fronted by a gated courtyard filled with cactus and succulents, includes two side-by-side Spanish-style residences dating to 1925. The character-filled units each have one bedroom, one bathroom, a kitchen and a living room. There is 952 square feet of living space between the two.

A detached studio/office now sits in what was once the garage.

Redwood decking, a tree-topped patio and privacy hedges fill out the backyard.

Baccarin bought the duplex in 2007 for $649,000 and lived there for a period before using it as a rental property.

Baccarin, 39, has television roles that include the shows “Firefly,” “Homeland” and “Gotham.” She has played the part of actor Ryan Reynolds’ love interest in each of the last two “Deadpool” films.

An epic site with lots of extras A home of early filmmaker Cecil B. DeMille is on the market in Los Feliz’s Laughlin Park neighborhood at $8.9 million.

The classical-style house, designed by architect William J. Dodd and dating to 1915, was purchased by DeMille in the 1920s and combined with the home next door to create his estate. During his ownership, which spanned about four decades, the property was used as DeMille’s production office, screening room and guesthouse.

Actress Anita Stewart and comic actor Charlie Chaplin and his first wife, Mildred Harris, were among other residents.

Sited on half an acre of grounds, the two-story house has been updated while maintaining its early character.

Vaulted and beamed ceilings, picture windows with diamond grills and walls of built-ins are among details of note.

The living room is anchored by a grand fireplace with an ornate surround.

A chandelier-topped dining room, an eat-in chef ’s kitchen, a screening room, four bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms also lie within nearly 7,000 square feet of living space.

Outside, loggias surround a long swimming pool and spa. A lawn and mature landscaping complete the grounds.

The property was owned by the

DeMille family until the 1980s, when it was sold with the adjacent house that made up the estate. The homes were eventually returned to separate residences, the larger of which was purchased last year by actress Angelina Jolie for $24.5 million.

Sweet dreams in the Hollywood Hills Singer-songwriter Annie Lennox of the Eurythmics has snapped up a stellar Midcentury Modern-style home in the Hollywood Hills for $4.375 million.

Designed by Buff and Hensman, the gated 1960s residence spans threequarters of a hillside acre.

Walls of glass meet walls of wood in the stylish post-and-beam interior, which has more than 2,700 square feet of living space.

The spare, open floor plan includes a modern kitchen with clean lines and an indoor-outdoor dining area. A painted brick fireplace touches up the living room, a space that extends to an expansive balcony overlooking the canyon.

Down a gallery hallway sits the master suite, one of three bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. Flat lawns flank the home, and an infinity pool runs along the side.

Lennox, a native of Scotland, studied at London’s Royal Academy of Music before forming new wave bands the Tourists and the Eurythmics.

Fall a fine time to plant trees, shrubs Plants are best put in ground during a long period of dormancy Lee Reich ASSOCIATED PRESS

Fall is a good time to plant trees and shrubs – the best time, in fact, for most of them.

Whether purchased through the mail or locally, these plants are available in three ways:

Bare-root “Bare-root” trees and shrubs are grown in the field, then dug up while they are leafless, which might be done in either fall or spring. Those dug in fall are sold immediately or are stored through winter with their roots packed in moist material. Root loss during digging is an obvious drawback to bareroot plants.

Although bare-root might seem like a brutal way to treat a tree or shrub, the plants handle the move well as long as their roots are kept moist prior to planting.

Bare-root trees and shrubs should not be dug until they have lost all, or nearly all, of their leaves in the fall. And their roots must be cozied into the ground before shoots start growing, which is not a problem in the fall. This highlights one advantage of fall planting: There’s no danger of shoots growing prematurely, because shoot buds stay dormant until they have experienced a winter’s worth of cold.

The biggest advantage of bare-root plants is that they are easily and relatively cheaply shipped all over the country, giving you the widest possible selection in varieties. What’s more, because you can see the roots, you can easily assess their condition.

Balled-and-burlapped “Balled-and-burlapped” trees and shrubs are also grown in the field, but they are dug up with a ball of soil that is then snuggled into a wrapping of burlap.

Because clay soils hold together better than lighter soils, balled-and-burlapped plants are usually grown in clay soils. But clay soils also are heaviest, so such plants are heavy. Weight and the need for extra care to avoid breaking up the root ball make mail order shipping of balled-and-burlapped plants unfeasible. Root loss can be extensive when balled-and-burlapped trees and shrubs are dug, and plant selection is limited.

Container-grown Increasingly, both local and mail-order nurseries are selling trees and shrubs as “container grown.” These nursery plants spent their lives in pots.

The potting mix is lighter than field soil, so such plants can be economically shipped through the mail. Container grown plants can be planted any time of year as long as you can dig a hole and water them as needed.

Ideally, a container-grown plant spends long enough in the container so that its roots just fill it.

Watch out, though: Some garden centers and nurseries buy bare-root trees and shrubs, and then pot them up for quick sale as container plants. And equally bad, plants that are truly container-grown are often left too long in their containers.

Once the roots start growing round

A good nursery tree is only two to three times the height of its container with roots filling, but not overcrowded, in the potting soil. LEE REICH VIA AP

and round in the pot, they can actually choke the plant, a condition that continues to develop even after the plant is set in the ground.

If possible, check the quality of a container-grown plant by sliding it out of its container to make sure it’s not rootbound, with roots that are very thick and tangled.

The top growth of a well-proportioned potted tree or shrub should be no higher than two to three times the depth of the container to ensure a good ratio of roots to stems.

Whether you’re buying bare-root, balled-and-burlapped or containerized trees and shrubs, restrain yourself from buying the largest possible plant. In the case of the first two kinds of nursery plants, small plants suffer less root loss in transplanting.

With smaller plants of any of the three kinds of nursery plants, less water is needed after planting, and new roots more quickly explore surrounding soil to make the plant self-sufficient.

Not too long after transplanting, growth of an initially smaller plant frequently overtakes that of an initially larger one.

Devo founder Gerald Casale sold his modernist home in Palm Desert for $950,000. JAMES BUTCHART

Property Continued from Page 2D

She found international fame with the latter; the group’s hits include “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This),” “Here Comes the Rain Again” and “Love Is a Stranger.”

Riding a new wave out of the desert Gerald Casale, the singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who founded the new wave band Devo, has sold his place in Palm Desert for $950,000.

Designed and built by architect-developer duo Ross Patton and Albert Wild, the Midcentury Modern-style home originally hit the market last year at just under $1.5 million.

More recently, it had been listed for $949,000.

The sweeping single-story house, which dates to 1963, has been well-kept and features slate and cork floors, walls of glass and a split-rock fireplace that extends from floor to ceiling in the living room. A mosaic tile and glass-block wall in one of the bathrooms is original.

A vaulted-ceiling living room, two kitchens, an office, four bedrooms and four bathrooms are within roughly 3,200 square feet of living space.

Outside, the landscaped backyard holds a saltwater swimming pool, a succulents garden and a fire pit.

Casale, 70, co-wrote much of Devo’s material, including the seminal hit “Whip It.” The musician turned his own design talents to helping create the band’s energy dome hats and radiation suits. He has also directed music videos for Rush, the Cars and the Foo Fighters, among others.

And just like that, it disappeared The home of magician-comedian Justin Willman, whose new show “Magic for Humans” premiered on Netflix last month, has quickly found a buyer in the Hollywood Hills.

The Mediterranean-style house, dating to the early 1920s, hit the market in late July, and was listed as pending less than a week later and sold for $1.618 million – $119,000 over the asking price.

Devo founder Gerald Casale’s single-story house, designed by builders Patton and Wild, boasts such midcentury design staples as slate and cork floors, walls of windows and a split-rock fireplace in the living room. JAMES BUTCHART

The 2,134-square-foot house was updated by Willman’s wife, interior designer Jillian Sipkins, who introduced new elements while maintaining many original details.

Features include arched doorways, exposed beams and Saltillo floors.

The kitchen has been refreshed, save for a vintage stove.

A living room with a fireplace, a formal dining room, a library, four bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms complete the floor plan. Additional flex space lies on the basement level.

Outside, mature trees and landscaping provide cover for decking, a circular spa and an alfresco dining area. Further up the hillside, a lookout takes in the surrounding hills.

Willman, 38, has been a frequent guest on such talk shows as “The Tonight Show,” “Ellen” and “Conan.”

He’s also hosted the cooking competition show “Cupcake Wars” and the game show “Win, Lose or Draw.”

Magician-comedian Justin Willman and his wife, designer Jillian Sipkins, sold their home in the Hollywood Hills for $1.618 million, well over the asking price of $1.499 million. The Mediterranean-style house was updated by Sipkins, who blended new design elements with 1920s character details. ADRIAN VAN ANZ

as they are not so tied to seasons.

Flushes of flowers are more often initiated by rain events than particular times of year.

Unlike the soft herbaceous perennials of temperate gardens, the weather here is too extreme for such soft plant parts, ill-equipped for the challenge.

Arid zone plants adapt by producing a woody stem or trunk to support a large, shrubby size. When suffering drought, they lose all leaves and stems except the woody ones, which abide fully dormant until rains come. The valley floor brittlebush communities, now fully, barren are a perfect example. When they do finally receive water, the growth rate is phenomenal, as they flower quickly and densely to set seed before drought returns.

In gardens, these plants are sheared into mounds and balls, but they fare much better when left natural. To control size and form, take your time to thin by hand at the new year before the spring growth begins.

And where it’s brutally rough, another silvery blue native, Agave desertii, defies symmetry for more naturalistic settings.

Not all desert gardens are rock and cactus. Our subshrubs are so versatile, fitting any setting when chosen and arranged for the best color effect.

tors for watching sporting events outdoors, since many take place during the day. Unlike films, which are designed for the big screen, sports broadcasts are intended for television, he adds.

Projectors Customers wishing to show movies outside will need to do some homework on the variety of projectors, screens and speakers now available, Roussopoulos said. “It’s become more popular and there are a lot more options than there used to be,” she said.

When purchasing a projector, pay attention to how much light it emits, measured in lumens. Snyder uses her system at her family’s Los Angeles home and their ranch in Montana, where it doesn’t get dark until 9:30 or 10 p.m. during the summer. She bought a projector “with a higher lumens output” so she can start showing movies at dusk.

The family uses the system well into the fall because shorter days mean they can start their films earlier in the evening.

Roussopoulos recommends at least 3,000 lumens for outdoor use, especially if you want to start the show before dark. A decent starter projector will cost between $300 and $700.

Determine how you intend to play movies. Some projectors have built-in disc players. Others have HDMI inputs so you can connect them to a disc player, game system or laptop. Some have smart TV functions and can stream movies. If you intend to stream content, be sure you have a strong Wi-Fi signal outside your home. When shopping for a projector, remember that it’s likely you already own a device for playing movies that will work with it, Silva said.

Screens As for the screen, it can be as simple as a white bedsheet pulled taut, Silva said. However, a growing number of manufacturers are making free-standing screens that can be easily assembled for home use, Roussopoulos said.

The screens, which usually collapse and roll up for easy storage, range in price from $250 to $1,700. They come in a wide range of sizes and include all the necessary tie-downs to keep them in place.

Speakers While outdoor moviegoers likely won’t expect a theater-quality experience, it’s helpful to have something to amplify the sound, Barnett said. Consider using a set of speakers from a laptop computer or stereo system, Rousso-

poulos said. She often sells speakers from public address systems to accompany projectors. Snyder bought an inexpensive sound bar that connects to her projector.

The experts don’t recommend wireless speakers because they often operate on a delay that puts a movie’s sound

and picture out of sync.

Putting together a backyard movie system involves a bit of trial and error, but there’s a lot of good information available online and at stores to guide you, Silva says. “It’s sort of an experiment to see what works in your space.”

TV Week Emmy predictions: Who will win?

Lynn Elber and Mark Kennedy ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES – Scaling Emmy heights is tough in the era of so-called peak TV, with the volume of shows matched by lofty expectations from academy voters.

Good isn’t enough for comedies and dramas, which need to resonate with the current political and social zeitgeist.

Actors who also pull off the high-wire act of writing and directing collect more respect and trophies.

With as many as seven or eight nominees in some key categories, about 14 percent of the TV academy vote can determine who gets a trophy, according to awards website Gold Derby.

We’re game to predict who will win, and who should, at the ceremony airing on NBC at 8 p.m. EDT Monday, Sept. 17.

It’s hosted by “Saturday Night Live” players Michael Che and Colin Jost.

Here’s AP Television Writer Lynn Elber and Entertainment Writer Mark Kennedy’s guesses in the glamour categories.

Drama Series Should win: “The Handmaid’s Tale.”

It remains true to its unsparing vision of a poisoned society, daring us to watch or choose blind ignorance. No other show matches its demands with equal rewards.

Will win: “The Handmaid’s Tale.” For many viewers and voters, it’s got that zeitgeist thing down pat.

Elber Should win: “The Handmaid’s Tale.”

Even though the second season was more brutal than the first, it went beyond the source material brilliantly.

“Game of Thrones” may have returned

Elisabeth Moss, left, and Ann Dowd are shown in a scene from “The Handmaid’s Tale.” The program was nominated for an Emmy on Thursday for outstanding drama series. The 70th Emmy Awards will be held on Monday, Sept. 17.

to claim its crown with a visually stunning season, but the zeitgeist is indeed firmly in Gilead.

Will win: “The Handmaid’s Tale.”

Kennedy

Comedy Series Should win: “Atlanta.” Auteur TV at its best, with star Donald Glover the series’ creator as well as creative force, winning Emmys last year for acting and directing. But does it include enough punchlines per dramatic moments for voters?

Will win: “Atlanta.” While worthy freshman competitor “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” offers a female-empowerment vibe and more wisecracks, the series set in the 1950s can’t compete with

the contemporary edge of “Atlanta.”

Elber Should win: “Atlanta.” The show, led

by Glover’s Hall of Fame abilities, has added audiences and nominations in its second season and has given many Americans a view into a world they hadn’t known.

Will win: “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.” This is safer, sad to say.

Kennedy

Actor, Drama Series Should win: Matthew Rhys, “The Americans.” Rhys’ somber, conflicted depiction of Soviet spy Mischa, aka American family man Philip Jennings, grounded the now-ended series. Time to honor him, comrades.

Will win: Sterling K. Brown, “This Is Us.” Brown was the only network drama series cast member to win last year, with cable and streaming gobbling all the other awards. And his tender-hearted family man is as affecting as ever.

Elber Should win: Remember when Jon Hamm of “Mad Men” finally won his Emmy on his eighth and last attempt?

How he crawled onto the stage to accept his trophy, out of relief and exhaustion?

Maybe Rhys will do the same this time.

Will win: Brown. Emmy voters like to ride a winner – hello, Julia Louis-Dreyfus! – and Brown’s perpetually unsure brother-dad-son on “This Is Us” is a portrait both lovingly comedic and dramatically empathetic.

Kennedy

Actress, Drama Series Should win: Sandra Oh, “Killing Eve.” The five-time Emmy nominee for “Grey’s Anatomy” gives an intense, visceral performance in this female version of a mano a mano spy thriller and shines anew.

Will win: Elisabeth Moss, “The Handmaid’s Tale.” Moss won the trophy last year for her portrayal of an unbroken victim, and her steeliness remains magnetic.

Elber Should win: Keri Russell. No disrespect to Moss, but she has her Emmy.

This is the last chance for Russell, who played a ferocious Russian mole as well as a tender wife and mother on “The Americans.”

Will win: Moss. In her second season as Offred, there seemed less dialogue but her eyes managed to convey horror, red-hot anger and resignation.

Now that he’s seemingly cured after wreaking havoc as serial killer Ben Weston on “Days of our Lives,” Robert Scott Wilson has been spending a lot of screen time opposite Deidre Hall, who plays his psychiatrist, Dr. Marlena Evans. And it’s a turn Wilson thoroughly enjoys.

“Deidre is just awesome,” says Wilson.

“She’s the matriarch at ‘Days,’ so to have her on my side has been awesome. They’ve written so many things for the two of us in the past. Now to have it come full circle with (her as Ben’s doctor) ... It’s been great.”

Short takes Sadly, we report the Aug. 31 death of Susan Brown at the age of 86. Brown was loved by castmates and fans of “General Hospital,” where she played Dr. Gail Adamson Baldwin from 1979-84. She later made sporadic appearances on “GH” as well as the show’s spin-off, “Port Charles,” in the same role. She last appeared on “GH” in 2004, in the episode that honored the passing of Anna Lee, who played Lila Quartermaine.

Kim Shriner who played Brown’s on-screen son, Scott “Scotty” Baldwin, stated on Twitter: “Sad to say one of my best friends and co-stars Susan Brown passed away today. She played Gail Baldwin ... my mother, RIP.” While “General Hospital” was on its latest summer hiatus, Emme Rylan, who plays Lulu Spencer on the show, spent her time away recovering from surgery to finish fixing her broken nose. The injury was originally caused two years ago when she collided with her rambunctious young son, Levi.

Congratulations to Lawrence Saint-Victor (Carter Walton, “The Bold and the Beautiful”) and his wife, Shay, on their eleventh wedding anniversary and the birth of their son Christian Lavelle Saint-Victor, who debuted Aug. 21.

DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Valerie explained to John that Marlena had gone into septic shock following her surgery and was put on a ventilator after she stopped breathing and entered an irreversible coma. Against John and Eric’s wishes, Belle gave Kayla the legal directive that Marlena had arranged in advance, which stated that Marlena did not want to kept alive by extraordinary measures. After a judge denied John’s attempt to keep Marlena on life support, her family gathered around as Kayla turned off her ventilator. Lucas didn’t believe Bonnie, who arrived in Salem with a baby girl whom she claimed was their daughter, the result of their tryst when Bonnie was impersonating Adrienne. Using the baby, Bonnie wants Lucas to get Adrienne to drop legal charges that could send her to prison.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Mike, who buried Joe Skully’s body in the basement of Julian’s bar to protect Sonny -- who was responsible for the man’s death -- broke a gas line with a wrench.

Mike panicked when Kristina, who was working as a bartender, saw him. Kristina called Sonny, who, with Jason, came to get Mike just as an explosion rocked the basement. Kristina was knocked out when she ran back into the bar to get the wrench, but was rescued by Jason, who took the wrench. Julian told Chase that he suspected someone had tampered with the gas pipe. Searching the basement, Chase first found a head and then a body (Skully’s). Nina received a heart necklace that her mother had left her, which made her suspect that her and Silas’ baby was alive and that Madeline gave the other half of the necklace to the child. Michael was puzzled by a letter from Nelle, who hoped being close to Wiley helped him deal with “Jonah’s” death.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Nick hosted a lavish launch party at the new office of his company, Dark Horse. Victor showed up and praised Nick. As the party was winding down, Rey, a police detective working for the GCPD who is looking into J.T.’s disappearance, arrested Nick for sabotaging Newman. Jack was surprised when Lauren looked at the photo of Dina and two men and said that one of the men was her father, Neil Fenmore. An online check of blood types proved that Neil can’t be Jack’s father. Victor thought of his father after seeing a photo of the second man in Nina’s photo. After making love, both Summer and Kyle realized that they still have feelings for each other. Devon told Charlie that Lily didn’t go to prison because of Charlie’s testimony.

HOROSCOPE Holiday Mathis

CREATORS SYNDICATE

Aries (March 21April 19). Each group has its own culture. You could fit in very well with this new one.

Taurus (April 20May 20). It doesn’t usually work like this, but in certain moments you’ll be able to take hold of your mind and essentially tell it who’s in charge and how you need it to think. Oh happy day!

Gemini (May 21June 21). You may find that other people’s opinions and even their expectations mean next to nothing to you today.

Cancer (June 22July 22). The light within you is shining bright, something that is extra convenient in situations that tend toward the shady. In fact, you might save someone today, just by being you.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). When you’re in an authority position, it’s rather easy to get people to work for you. Getting them to work with you is different. They’ll do this not because of your position but because of the character of your leadership.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). Your loved ones may be curious about your limits, or perhaps they are just having a mindless moment that causes them to cross you.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). New friendships are coming into your life and they could evolve into love, business or both. The window of possibility is wide open for your social life these days.

Scorpio (Oct. 24Nov. 21). People say that love takes work, but it’s usually the kind of work that you don’t mind doing because it comes so naturally to you.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21). You’re not always readily available to your loved ones, and this is how it should be.

Capricorn (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Good teachers cause their own obsolescence.

Aquarius (Jan. 20Feb. 18). You don’t automatically believe hearsay, but something will feel very true about what’s going on today.

It’s worth staying alert to, but don’t act on anything unproven.

Pisces (Feb. 19March 20). Your attitude is more important than what actually occurs today. It will have more bearing on the results than the facts. A stellar attitude can turn problems into opportunities.

Today’s Birthday (Sept. 15). Not only will you feel a great sense of belonging at home, you’ll also feel it where you didn’t expect to – with friends, in the community and even in places you’ve never been before. What you do to express admiration will begin an adventure. Don’t invest until you feel it in your bones. October is luckiest. Pisces and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 7, 33, 38 and 16.

Emmy hosts Che and Jost are ready for fun There might be some, and there might not.

Che: There’s gonna be political jokes.

And we’re gonna come out on the wrong side of history, for sure. We’re aiming toward it.

AP: Some awards hosts who have taken a different approach, such as David Letterman and his ‘Oprah-Uma’ bit at the 1995 Oscars, have fallen flat. Will you be more traditional hosts?

Jost: I don’t even know really what a traditional host for it is.

Che: Ed McMahon. Ed McMahon is a traditional host.

Jost: Well, should we do that?

Che: If we could be half as good as Ed McMahon, we’ve nailed it. We’re Ed McMahon-ing it.

AP: Given the Oscars envelop mixup, are you concerned about mishaps?

Jost: We have lots of those planned.

AP: Best worst-case scenario for what could go wrong?

Che: All the winners will be announced via Jack-in-the-box (toy). So we’re just going to have to crank and crank and crank till it pops out. And it will be a puppet of the winner’s face.

Jost: That’s a subtle change that you’ll notice. And then the show’s going to be five hours.

Q: Some nominees have said they hope that politics won’t dominate the night. But you two tackle serious issues on “Weekend Update,” so is it a tightrope for you?

Che: We’re overthinking it if we’re thinking about that. It’s a celebration for a lot of people who worked really hard this year to be nominated and (for) a lot of shows that people really enjoy. We’re just gonna have fun at the top and keep the show moving and make sure it’s an enjoyable show to watch.

Lynn Elber

ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES – Michael Che and Colin Jost, typically stuck behind a desk as “Saturday Night Live” news anchors, are moving to a grander setting Monday as Emmy Awards hosts.

The comedians got in the mood at Thursday’s rollout of the traditional arrivals carpet – yellow-hued this time around, not red, as the ceremony marks its 70th year.

“This isn’t as gold as I thought it would be. I was expecting a much tackier gold. But this is a reasonable gold,” Che observed.

After carpet duty, he and Jost talked to The Associated Press about the highprofile job of hosting and what it’s like to be tapped for it by Lorne Michaels, their “SNL” boss and this year’s Emmys telecast producer.

The “Weekend Update” anchors were serious, sometimes.

AP: How does it feel to get this highprofile gig?

Jost: We love going to the Emmys.

Anytime we’re nominated, it feels like a big honor. And to go and get asked to host, and they trusted us, it’s great. Am I right (to Che)?

Che: Your hair is gorgeous.

AP: What did Michaels say about how to approach it?

Che: It was something along the lines of, ‘Have fun out there’ and ‘We trust you.’ So that’s exciting when maybe the greatest producer in TV trusts us with a show. So I think the (TV) academy is in good hands.

AP: Will you include political humor?

Jost: We don’t totally know yet because we don’t even know what’s going to happen over the weekend politically.

Paul and Erasmus are a bickering couple with an extravagant life, until Bill, the grandson Erasmus never knew he had, shows up....

“Ideal Home" is genuinely funny, and the poignant and pithy script is aided by the chemistry between its stars, who are equally adept with comedic punch lines as they are with dramatic gut punches.” – Teo Bugbee, New York Times

– Hurt Momma In The East Dear Hurt Momma: While you have every right to be angry, has it occurred to you that you may not only be grieving for your mother, but possibly be suffering from postpartum depression as well? Discuss this with your doctor and ask to have your hormone levels checked.

Your ex-boyfriend and his “lady” appear to be miserable people. For the sake of yourself and your son, please stop allowing them to make you miserable, too.
