time of need
Nevada County steps up to help those displaced by fires
By Liz Kellar
Staff Writer

B
y 5:30 a.m. Monday, just a
few short hours after wild-
fires raging through Nevada
County began forcing the
evacuations of residents from Rough
and Ready, Lake Wildwood and the
McCourtney Road areas, Twin Cities
Church Pastor Ron Thompson was al-
ready stepping up to help. Twin Cities
was tapped as a second shelter, follow-
ing the earlier opening of First Baptist
Church on Ridge Road.
“The county called and asked if we
would be a host, to have displaced
people come here,” he said. “We said
yes and started making arrangements.”
The Lobo fire marks only the second
time Twin Cities has been called on for
shelter services. During the Oroville
Dam evacuation, the church served as
a center for clothing donations, but no
one spent the night and no food was
served, Thompson said.
“So we really got our feet wet” this
time, he said. “But we have some
really quality people who figured it
out quickly. And we have amazing
volunteers — we’ve had one wom-
an here 8 to 10 hours a day serving,
snacks, drinks, fruit, coffee — especial-
ly coffee.”
The church designated some staff
members to support the county-run
shelter, Thompson said.
“There’s a lot of need, there’s a lot of
fear,” he said. “We’re just sitting down
and talking to people.”
On Monday, Thompson said he
stopped to get several dozen dough-
nuts and arrived at 9 a.m. to find evac-
uees already coming in.
“We had 150 in the first wave,” he
said. “We had people in RVs and cars

MOON SHOT Grass Valley talks

regulation, enforcement
for short-term rentals
By Matthew Pera
Staff Writer
Enforcing regulations on short-term
vacation rentals may be a difficult task,
Grass Valley’s City Councilmembers said
Tuesday.
When regulations are put in place,
rental hosts will be expected to com-
ply with the city’s code “on the honor
system,” said Vice Mayor Lisa Swarthout
at Tuesday’s council meeting. Hosts will
likely be fined, she said, if the city were
to find out they weren’t complying with
its rules, but “it’s not going to be a perfect
process.”
“The city doesn’t have the staffing to
monitor every single one of those places,”
she said in an interview.
On websites like AirBnB, exact ad-
dresses aren’t revealed until a rental is
booked by a customer, which makes reg-
ulation enforcement even more difficult
for the city because many properties in
Western Nevada County outside of city
limits share Grass Valley’s zip code.
Tom Last, the city’s community devel-
opment director, said Grass Valley will
likely hire an outside company to keep
track of which vacation rentals are within
city limits. That company may also assist
with enforcement, he said.
Last is working on a draft ordinance for
the city’s short-term rental regulations,
TIM O’BRIEN/FOR THE UNION
A Cal Fire plane was caught flying over the moon during firefighting operations Tuesday.
which will need approval from the city’s
planning commissioners and further ap-
proval from city councilmembers before
it takes effect.
Tuesday night, Last asked councilmem-
bers their preferences on a variety of
potential regulations.
Councilmembers said they were in
favor of separating short-term rentals
into two categories with slightly different
rules. One category would cover rentals
of a single room, and hosts would be re-
quired to live on-site. The other category
would cover whole-house rentals, and a
homeowner or property manager would
be required to live within a certain dis-
tance of the home.
Councilmembers recommended the
city allow short-term rentals on sin-
gle-family zoned parcels rather than in
all residential zones. They said the city
should collect transient occupancy taxes
from the rentals, require one parking
space per room rented, and ban any signs
posted outside homes.
Michael Colantuono, the city’s attor-
ney, clarified that no decisions were made
Tuesday night.
“This is the beginning of a process, not
the end,” he said.

Boy Scouts to admit girls

By David Crary
AP National Writer
NEW YORK — In its latest mo-
mentous policy shift, the Boy Scouts
of America will admit girls into the
Cub Scouts starting next year and
establish a new program for older
girls based on the Boy Scout curric-
ulum that enables them to aspire to
the coveted Eagle Scout rank.
Founded in 1910 and long con-
sidered a bastion of tradition, the
Boy Scouts have undergone major
changes in the past five years,
agreeing to accept openly gay youth
members and adult volunteers, as
well as transgender boys.
The expansion of girls’ participa-
tion, announced Wednesday after
unanimous approval by the organi-
zation’s board of directors, is argu-
ably the biggest change yet, poten-
tially opening the way for hundreds
of thousands of girls to join.
Many scouting organizations in
other countries already allow both
genders and use gender-free names
such as Scouts Canada. But for now,
the Boy Scout label will remain.
“There are no plans to change our
name at this time,” spokeswoman
Effie Delimarkos said in an email.
Under the new plan, Cub Scout
dens — the smallest unit — will
be single-gender, either all-boys
or all-girls. The larger Cub Scout
packs will have the option to remain
single gender or welcome both
genders. The program for older girls
is expected to start in 2019 and will
enable girls to earn the same Eagle
Scout rank that has been attained
by astronauts, admirals, senators ASSOCIATED PRESS
and other luminaries. On Wednesday, the Boy Scouts of America Board of Directors unan-
Boy Scout leaders said the change imously approved to welcome girls into its Cub Scout program and
was needed to provide more options to deliver a Scouting program for older girls that will enable them to
for parents. advance and earn the highest rank of Eagle Scout.

By Tali Arbel
AP Technology Writer
NEW YORK — President
Donald Trump is threatening
NBC’s broadcast licenses be-
cause he’s not happy with how
its news division has covered
him. But experts say his threats
aren’t likely to lead to any
action.
The NBC network itself
doesn’t need a license to oper-
ate, but individual stations do.
NBC owns several stations in
major cities. Stations owned
by other companies such as
Tribune and Cox carry NBC’s
news shows and other pro-
grams elsewhere. Licenses
come from the Federal Com-
munications Commission, an
independent government agen-
cy whose chairman is a Trump
appointee.
Trump tweeted Wednesday,
“With all of the Fake News
coming out of NBC and the
Networks, at what point is it
appropriate to challenge their
License? Bad for country!”
NBC spokeswoman Hilary
Smith had no comment. The
FCC did not respond to mes-
sages seeking comment.
These days, license renew-
als are fairly routine. A station
could be deemed unfit and
have its license stripped if it
were telling lies and spreading
fake news, as Trump claims.
But Harold Feld of the con-
sumer group Public Knowledge
says that’s tough to prove.
“The reality is it is just about
impossible to make that show-
ing,” he said. “All this stuff is
opinion.”
As long as someone can
demonstrate a reason to be-
lieve something is true, it’s not
a character issue, he said.
Feld said he can recall just
two instances in the past 20
years when there has been a re-
newal challenge. One involved
an owner of radio stations who
was convicted of child mo-
lestation, and the other when
someone died as part of a radio
station’s contest. Both lost their
licenses.
Although yanking a license
is rare, just the threat could
put pressure on NBC’s news
coverage.
“The words ‘license renew-
al’ are ones which have had
a chilling effect in the past
on broadcasters,” said lawyer
Floyd Abrams, an expert on the
First Amendment, citing Rich-
ard Nixon’s attempts to sway
news coverage as president.
“The threat, however unlikely,
is one that broadcasters will
have to take seriously.”
The National Association of
Broadcasters, a trade group,
said it was contrary to First
Amendment principles “for any
government official to threat-
en the revocation of an FCC
license simply because of a dis-
agreement with the reporting
of a journalist.”

long haul.”

Nevada County initially opened
two shelters for those forced to
evacuate because of the fires,
leading about 80 people to use
them. On Wednesday they con-
solidated the shelters into one at
Twin Cities Church, 11726 Rough

Wolfe said staff are tracking

Learning from out of this world
Astronaut links up with
kids at Air and Space
Museum to share his
love of science
By Marylou Tousignant
The Washington Post
I
f you could ask an astronaut
orbiting in space any question,
what would it be?
Students from several
Washington-area schools got to do
that recently at the Smithsonian
National Air and Space Museum as
part of its “STEM in 30” program.
Among other things, they want-
ed to know: Is it hard to move
around up there? Can you watch
TV? How do you know when it’s
time for bed? What if you get sick?
TEACHING FROM SPACE
In a live video from space, as-
tronaut Randy Bresnik was ready
with the answers. He even had
some props: freeze-dried food,
floating candy and, in case of ill-
ness, a high-tech barf bag.
Bresnik began a six-month stay
on the International Space Station
in July. The station’s six-member
crew has three Americans. As they
orbit about 250 miles above Earth,
they are doing experiments about
living and working in space.
Part of their job is telling young
people about the challenges and
rewards of space travel, something
you might do in your lifetime.
Bresnik has two children, ages
11 and 7, making him the ideal
astronaut to star in a “STEM in
30” webcast. The 30-minute shows
aim to hook students your age on
STEM subjects — science, technol-
ogy, engineering and math — in
fun, creative ways.
Bresnik floated around the space
station module to display weight-
lessness. He showed how liquids
form bubbles that also float if they
escape their containers. He pinged
an airborne candy ball off the cam-
era before gulping it down.
The crew exercises 90 minutes a

end. As the wife of a high school
football coach, getting any kind
of alone time with my spouse
between August and November
is pretty much unheard of.
When he was asked to coach
for the Varsity squad 14 seasons
ago, he asked me if I could sup-
port him through it. I agreed
out of love and out of ignorance.
I had no idea what I was saying
yes to.
FINDING THE TIME
For the casual high school fan,
football happens Friday nights.
But for the coaches, football is
a seven-day-a-week proposi-
tion. Monday through Thursday
practices, followed by a game on
Friday.
Saturday is spent breaking
down film, which literally takes
hours as they watch each play
and make notes, looking at
errors, successes and ways to
improve.
That is followed up with the
coaches meeting Sunday after-
noon to discuss and prepare,
and then back to it on Monday
for practice. And so it goes.
There is no such thing as being
over-prepared.
I know this routine and I
know I fall a few rungs down
the priority ladder when the
season is in full swing as he
spreads himself thin with work,
coaching, his own fitness rou-
tine, home maintenance and
other responsibilities.
But somehow, each spring
I suffer from a slight sense of
amnesia when it comes to how
few hours I have a mate who
has any time or energy left for
me each fall.
And so it was, with that hazy
memory earlier this year, that I
booked a surprise trip to Napa
for the beginning of October.
We went to watch the final
round of a PGA tournament at
the Silverado Resort in the mid-
dle of wine country.
It was a beautiful Sunday, but

day to stay fit.
“When we exercise … you’ve
got to be careful not to shake
your head too far. Otherwise, the
(sweat) goes flinging off,” Bresnik
said.
The space station travels five
miles per second, circling Earth
every 1 and a half hours.
Because the crew sees 16 sunrises
and 16 sunsets every 24 hours, they
rely on their watches to tell them
when it’s bedtime.
Bresnik’s space hobby is taking
photos. The colors and views from
up there are “amazing,” he said,
and every cloud is different.
The crew members also watch
lots of movies in their free time.

incredibly windy. It seemed to
me that each time champion
golfer Phil Mikelson stepped up
to the ball, the wind would gust,
making the task of getting the
little white orb into the tiny hole
all that much more difficult.
Throughout the day crews
brought out blowers to clear
the greens of falling leaves
and debris. But the course was
stunning and we enjoyed some
amazing golf. In between holes,
we made our way to some of the
concession areas.
These were raised platforms
built with the spectator in
mind — partially shaded pa-
vilions facing various areas on
the course. We returned to our
hotel marveling at the beautiful
location, the vineyards and the
incredible beauty that is Napa.
Having walked more than
a few miles over the course of
the day, we decided on an early
evening as we would be heading
back home relatively early Mon-
day, what with football practice
happening and all.
RUSHING HOME
And then our rare weekend
away became surreal. On and
off throughout the night we
heard the sound of sirens going
by the hotel but really didn’t
think too much about it, but
when morning came it was
obvious something bad was
happening.
Ash was literally falling from
the sky and the smoke was thick
enough to make visibility a
concern.
I looked at my phone to see
several texts inquiring about
our safety — some from those
who knew we were in Napa and
experts. About 650 kids came to
the Smithsonian to see Bresnik’s
live video.
“It was really cool,” said Emily
Steed, 11, a sixth-grader at Provi-
dence Elementary in Fairfax Coun-
ty, Virginia. “It’s not every day you
get to actually talk to an astronaut
in space.”
Amina Gasaway, 14, agreed. She’s
in ninth grade at Washington,
D.C.’s Phelps High, which focuses
on architecture, construction and
engineering. Seeing Bresnik makes
her want to become an engineer
even more than before, she said.
One of the toughest parts of
space travel is missing your family.
Amina asked Bresnik how he copes
with that. He said it’s hard but no
different from what military fami-
lies face when a parent is overseas.
He talks to his wife and kids a lot
others who thought we were
home as news of fires in Sono-
ma, Napa and Nevada County
spread.
We got in the car and drove
away from one fire, towards sev-
eral others.
We are extremely lucky in
that we do not live too close to
any of the active fires but our
hearts are with friends and ac-
quaintances who were forced to
evacuate and some who suffered
great loss.
My daughter was born in San-
ta Rosa. Hearing about the mas-
sive destruction there and then
seeing it left me speechless.
More shocking was seeing a
photo of the pavilion we had
been standing on Sunday at the
golf tournament completely de-
stroyed as the flames made their
way through Silverado.
We are tirelessly warned
to prepare for fire in Califor-
nia. I am not sure how anyone
could have been prepared for
the speed and intensity of this
emergency.
It is one thing to prepare to
leave after a call in the morning
or during the day, but complete-
ly another to be woken in the
middle of the night and told to
get out quickly. It is not surpris-
ing, though no less tragic, that
some were unable to survive.
Short of having a “go bag” by
the door, there just did not seem
to be enough time to do much
more than react.
In football terms, we need to
practice the blitz. Have a list
of what is most important and
know where those items are.
Most emergency preparedness
plans suggest gathering the
four “p’s”: prescriptions (and
glasses), papers (like passports),
pictures and of course, pets.
It’s fall and that means foot-
ball and unfortunately, it means
fire season is in full swing. We
cannot be over-prepared.

Ten tips to completing
college applications
W
e are in the midst
of the college ap-
plication season.
Let’s talk about
a few tips that I have picked up
along the way to help make the
best decisions when it comes to
college applications.
TEN TIPS
■ Students should develop a
spread sheet listing all the due
dates and requirements for each
college they are applying to.
It is easy to get overwhelmed
when applying to multiple col-
leges and a tracking system can
really help.
Include such things as require-
ments for essays, letters of recom-
mendation and interviews.
■ Students need to check their
transcripts to make sure all class-
es and grades are accurate.
This is the only official record of
their academic accomplishments
that the colleges will see and it
needs to be flawless.
■ Even though students will
self-report their SAT and ACT
scores on their applications, they
still need to send official copies
through the testing agency to the
colleges they apply to.
Just putting the scores on the
application is not enough.
■ When reporting extra-cur-
ricular activities concentrate on
those that you have invested the
most time in.
Colleges value a dedication and
time commitment to activities
much more than a laundry list
of activities with just a few hours
invested.
■ Highlight your character in
the personal essays. Let’s face it,
many college applicants have sim-
ilar test scores and GPA.
Where you can really shine
is in the essay. Colleges like to
admit students who will contrib-
ute to their campus and are good
people.
■ Before choosing the colleges
you will apply to, make sure you
can afford them. How do you
go about doing this? Net price
calculators.
Sean Jordan, Features Editor,
There have been 32 webcasts
since the program began in 2014.
Topics they talk about and demon-
strate include the Wright brothers,
hot-air balloons, the Tuskegee Air-
men, kites and moon rocks. Visit
the archive at airandspace.si.edu/
connect/stem-30.
You can also check out future
shows. The next show, on Oct. 18,
is called “Landing a Really Fast
Plane on a Really Big Boat.” The
hosts will teach math and sci-
ence from the flight deck of the
nuclear-powered carrier Dwight D.
Eisenhower.
JILL HALEY
Columnist
Each college website is required
to post a calculator that will give
an estimate of what you will have
to pay for one year of college on
their campus.
This estimate is based on fi-
nancial information but also on a
student’s GPA and test scores.
■ Look beyond California for
the best chance of getting into im-
pacted majors. Most of the STEM
(science, technology, engineering,
and math) majors are impacted at
the California campuses.
Looking at colleges in other
states such as Nevada, Oregon
and Washington will increase
your chances of getting into these
majors at colleges.
■ Check out the website Col-
lege Data to help you determine
your chances of getting into a
particular college. They include
information on what each col-
lege looks for in its admissions
decisions.
■ File the Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Many families fail to file this ap-
plication for financial aid assum-
ing they don’t qualify.
It might surprise them to know
that some merit based aid, work
study and student loans require
that students file this form.
■ Make sure you file the correct
FAFSA.
For current high school seniors
that would be the 2018 FAFSA, or
the year they will attend college
for the first time.

ADVICE
ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Cheating on each other doesn’t make it better

Dear Annie: My wife and
I have been together for 20
years and married for four.
We have three kids. In the
beginning of our relation-
ship, it was bad — and the
bad all came from me. I
cheated on her and hurt her.
She stayed by my side, and
that’s when I realized that I
have a wonderful woman. I
got my act together and end-
ed up marrying her.
This year, I have caught
her cheating on me twice.
All she does is say that I have
done it to her in the past. I’m
stuck, because I don’t want to
leave but I also can’t accept
the cheating. What do I do?
— Heartbroken Hubby
Dear Heartbroken Hubby:
Though you put your affairs
behind you, your wife clearly
wasn’t able to. It was wrong
of you to cheat, but it was
wrong of her to accept your
proposal if she wasn’t going
to accept the past. Now she’s
inflicting wounds on you
instead of healing her own.
Such vengeance has no place
in a marriage.

HEALTH HOROSCOPE

Kids don’t necessarily have to bathe every day
Dear Doctor: My 10-year-
old grandchild gets a bath only
three times a week, and some-
times it’s only twice a week. Is
this normal? I thought that
children should be bathed every
day.
Dear Reader: While it’s true
that the ritual of a child’s nightly
bath has fixed itself into the
popular culture, the reality of
what’s best is actually some-
what different. Back in the days
before indoor plumbing and
central heating, bathing was
generally performed weekly
in the United States. It was a
family affair often performed on
Saturday night, so that everyone
would be their sweet-smelling
best for church on Sunday.
As technological advances
gave each house a furnace in
the basement and hot running
water in the bathroom, taking a
bath was no longer a laborious
chore. Add in the revolution
wrought by understanding
how infections are transmitted,
and the link between physical
cleanliness and good health was
formed.
However, the zero tolerance
of the medical environment
doesn’t transfer to the home.
According to guidelines devel-
oped by the American Academy
of Dermatology, your grand-
child is perfectly fine with those
three or even two baths per
week. The reasoning is twofold.
First, unless he or she is

playing in mud, crawling
through public sandboxes or
helping out with messy tasks,
the average kid just doesn’t get
dirty enough to require a bath
every day. The other consider-
ation is something known as the
skin barrier. That’s the protec-
tive film of cells and lipids that
make up the outermost layer of
your skin. Sometimes called the
lipid barrier, it’s meant to keep
your skin hydrated by prevent-
ing water and electrolytes from
evaporating.
In children, the skin barrier
is not yet fully developed. Too
much soap and scrubbing and
they run the risk of irritation,
even infection. In addition, the
skin is home to certain mi-
crobes and bacteria that are an
important part of our immune
systems. Daily washing dimin-
ishes their numbers.
So how often should your
child be bathing?

Kerr pushes Warriors to keep joy,
chase repeat championship
By Janie McCauley
AP Sports Writer
OAKLAND, Calif. — Steve Kerr re-
cently threw out a perplexing question
to his star-studded Golden State ros-
ter: What should he tell a team that
has won championships in two of the
last three years and still reached the
Finals in the other?
How might he spark improvement
from a group that has won 67, 73 and
67 games the past three seasons?
“It’s got to be about what’s im-
portant to us,” Kerr said. “The joy of
coming to practice every day is im-
portant for our guys to remember, the
process.”
Kerr is already challenging his War-
riors to find ways to get better. He is
strategizing ways to make sure they
don’t become complacent, maintain-
ing the edge that has turned this fran-
chise into a perennial contender with
names such as Stephen Curry, Kevin
Durant and Draymond Green leading
the charge after decades of futility.
“It’s been really smooth. There’s a
chemistry and a certain expectation
of how we’re going to play versus
last year,” Curry said. “There were a
couple unanswered questions going
into camp and a feeling out process
but Coach has challenged us to focus
on the details in how we can get bet-
ter from last year. He joked around:
‘What do you tell a team that’s won
67 games or 65-plus the last three
years, two championships, how do you
tell a team like that to get better? Or
what do you tell a team like that to get
better? It’s basically about the details
and the fine points of our offense, and
cutting hard, setting screens for each
other, the counters that we’re going
to add to our offensive sets. All those
little things are built on the founda-
tion that we set last year and obvious-
ly Kevin’s a part of that. We all are.
So it’s kind of good to put that in the
right perspective.”
What the franchise has accom-
plished the past three seasons isn’t
lost on Green.
“It’s a special thing,” he said. “And
I think a lot of times in life we forget
to live in the moment, especially in
our day and age, social media — let
me record this — miss everything I’m
watching because I am looking at it
through a phone. You forget to enjoy
the moment. ... As much as I try to
enjoy the moment, you’ll never fully
understand it until it’s over.”
Here are some things to watch for

OVERHAUL AHEAD Watching teammates

World Cup failure
prompts calls for US
soccer ‘revolution’
By Ronald Blum
AP Sports Writer
COUVA, Trinidad — When soccer
holds its world’s fair in Russia next
June, the American pavilion will be
glaringly absent.
A bumbling, stumbling, tumbling
World Cup qualifying campaign end-
ed Tuesday night with a calamitous
2-1 loss to already eliminated Trin-
idad and Tobago, the 99th-ranked
nation in the world, when merely a
tie was necessary to eke out the final
automatic World Cup berth from one
of soccer’s weakest regions.
“Unacceptable,” tweeted former
Health and Human Services Secre-
tary Donna Shalala, a U.S. Soccer
Federation board member. “For us in
USSoccer more than a wake-up call.
Time for revolution. Need long term
plan that is smart.”
After American soccer’s Waterloo,
the fallout almost surely will lead to a
new coach and possibly a new USSF
head. There also figure to be calls for
a reexamination of the player devel-
opment structure, from youth teams
through academies designed with the
hope of producing elite prospects.
“There is no denying that this is a
setback for all of us involved with the
game in our country,” Major League
Soccer said in a statement.
New York Cosmos owner Rocco
Commisso, chairman of the low-
er-level North American Soccer
League that has sued the USSF,
called for federation President Sunil
Gulati to resign along with board
members and senior administrators
he put in place.
“In the almost 12 years during
which Sunil Gulati has been the
USSF’s president, little or nothing has
been done to enhance our prospects,”
Commisso said in a statement. “The
leadership of U.S. Soccer has failed
all of its stakeholders: players, fans,
sponsors and those of us who have in-
vested in professional soccer. Getting
back on track requires fundamental
change in the structure and man-
agement of the sport in our country,
starting with a change in the federa-
tion’s leadership.”
While fans fulminated over the
front office, the next national team
coach must instigate a ruthless ros-
ter purge. The Tim Howard/Clint
Dempsey/Michael Bradley era is over,
and pretty much any player older
than 26 will be past his past his prime

Nats top Cubs, force Game 5; Haunted

Yankees advance to ALCS
Associated Press

CHICAGO — Stephen Strasburg shook

off an illness and all doubts about his
mettle while pitching seven dominant
innings, Michael A. Taylor hit a late grand
slam and the Washington Nationals beat
the Chicago Cubs 5-0 on Wednesday to
send their NL Division Series to a decisive
Game 5.
The teams packed up at Wrigley Field
and headed back to Washington for Game
5 Thursday night. Kyle Hendricks starts
for the World Series champion Cubs after
throwing seven sharp innings in a 3-0 vic-
tory over Strasburg in Game 1. Gio Gon-
zalez is the likely starter for the Nationals,
with Max Scherzer lurking in the bullpen.
Strasburg got sick after his terrific per-
formance in the playoff opener on Friday,
and the Nationals had planned to go with
Tanner Roark even after a persistent rain
washed out Game 4 on Tuesday. That
led to a flurry of comments and criticism
about whether the ace had the right stuff
to pitch in big moments.
But Strasburg felt better when he woke
up Wednesday and told manager Dusty
Baker he wanted the ball with Washing-
ton’s season on the line.
That was all Baker needed to hear.
Standing tall as clouds of mist rolled
through the old ballpark, Strasburg struck
out 12, allowed three hits and walked
two in his first career postseason win. He
pitched well enough to win Game 1, too,
giving up three hits and fanning 10 in
seven innings, but a pair of unearned runs
saddled him with the loss.

Wine country fires force
Raiders to alter practice
The Oakland Raiders
adjusted their practice
schedule Wednesday
because of poor air quality
resulting from the wildfires
in nearby wine country.
The Raiders took the
practice field in smoky
conditions with even
some ash falling from the
sky. The Environmental
Protection Agency said
the air was “unhealthy” in
Alameda, about 40 miles
from the fires.
The Raiders shortened
their practice by eliminating
individual drills in an effort
to limit the amount of time
players spent outside.
Oakland decided to
reschedule Thursday’s
practice, having it start at
11 a.m. rather than 1:45
p.m. in hopes of better air
quality earlier in the day.
At least 21 people have
died and 3,500 homes
and businesses have been
destroyed since the fires
started Sunday, making
them the third-deadliest
and most destructive
blazes in state history.
The Raiders teamed with
the Bay Area’s other pro
sports teams to donate
$450,000 to support the
fire relief efforts. The
Raiders, 49ers, Athletics,
Giants, Warriors, Sharks
and Earthquakes also
set up a website (www.
youcaring.com/firerelief )
for fans to make their own
donations.

Eric Reid said Wednesday.
Reid, the first player to

he had a conversation
recently with 49ers CEO
Jed York, who indicated he
will continue to support
his players if they decide to
kneel during the national
anthem to protest social
injustice.
Reid said: “He’s ex-
pressed very clearly that
he wants to support us,
that he’s not going to force
us to do anything.”

Happy Death Day begins this Friday at the Del Oro Theatre.
Happy Death Day
Rated PG-13, running time 96 minutes.
Starts Friday at Del Oro Theatre.
A college student relives the day of her mur-
der with both its unexceptional details and
terrifying end until she discovers her killer’s
identity. Starring Jessica Rothe and Israel
Broussard.
The Foreigner
Rated R, running time 112 minutes. Starts
Friday at Sierra Theatre.
The Foreigner, starring Jackie Chan and
Pierce Brosnan, is a timely action thriller
from the director of Casino Royale. The film
tells the story of humble London business-
man Quan (Chan), whose long-buried past
erupts in a revenge-fueled vendetta when the
only person left for him to love -- his teenage
daughter -- is taken from him in a senseless
act of politically-motivated terrorism. In his
relentless search for the identity of the ter-
rorists, Quan is forced into a cat-and-mouse
conflict with a British government official
(Brosnan), whose own past may hold clues to
the identities of the elusive killers.

The Last Dalai Lama?
Not Rated, running time 90 minutes.
Shows Sunday at 7 p.m. at Nevada Theatre.
Yes, that question mark is not a typo. For
over a thousand years, Tibetan Buddhist
psychology has taught techniques for
overcoming negative, afflictive emotions,
such as anger, greed, jealousy, sloth and
ignorance.
In the film “The Last Dalai Lama?” His
Holiness explains that Tibetan Buddhism
is both a religion and a “science of the
mind”; he also shares his crystallized un-
derstanding of the nature of mind, and its
part in the creation and alleviation of all of
our suffering.
Believing that this precious wisdom
belongs to the world, twenty years ago
The Dalai Lama challenged a select group
of world-renowned Neuroscientists and
Mind/Brain researchers to look into the
workings of the mind, and to prove scientif-
ically that “Tibetan Buddhist technologies”
for overcoming afflictive emotions are skills
that can be learned by anyone.
The Dalai Lama commissioned Dr. Paul
Ekman and his daughter Dr. Eve Ekman
to come up with an “Atlas of Emotions” as
a way of understanding the effects of emo-
tions on having a tranquil mind.
His urgency and dedication come
through in “The Last Dalai Lama?” as
he now turns 82, and must deal with the
questions of aging and death, and whether
he will reincarnate as The Dalai Lama, or
if he will be the last of the lineage that has
existed for a millennia.
“A surplus of wisdom and benevolence
radiates from ‘The Last Dalai Lama?” —
Helen T. Verongos, New York Times.

The magic movie man
Submitted to Prospector
Ross Woodbury can still remem-
ber when he saw his first movie in a
theatre.
“It was Lawrence of Arabia,” Wood-
bury said. “I was 6 or 7 and I thought
it was the most wonderful thing I’d
ever seen. Of course, I was too young
to understand the plot, but I still viv-
idly recall the incredible imagery and
the sheer scale of it all. Peter O’Toole
in that swirling white robe, the camel
caravans stretching across the horizon.
“The cinematography, the musical
score, everything about it was larger
than life. I think it was then that I fell
in love with the movies.”
That love affair has lasted for de-
cades. If there’s anyone in the area
who’s earned the title of “the mov-
ie man” (a moniker with which he
says people often address him), it’s
Woodbury.
Founder of the Magic Theatre in
Nevada City (and manager for its first
20 years) and the co-founder of the
original Nevada City Film Festival, he’s
had his hand in almost every local cin-
ematic venture that’s come along.
BACKSTORY
Born in suburban Los Angeles (into
what he calls a “deeply dysfunction-
al family,”), he escaped whenever he
could into the nearest cinema, which
was miles away and which he usually
had to traverse to on foot.
“It was worth it,” he said. “For me,
movies were an escape from reali-
ty — which I hated — into another
universe of glamour and romance and
excitement. I didn’t really care that
much what the movie was or who was
in it. It just had to have those glowing
images on that huge screen and I’d be
blissed out.”
At the age of 12, Woodbury moved
to Nevada County with his family
when his parents bought a retail store
in Grass Valley.
He graduated from Nevada Union
High School and attended Sacramento
State University, earning a degree and
teaching credential in Mass Commu-
nications. But most of his time, not
surprisingly, was going to movies.
“There was a great little theatre
in downtown Sacramento called the
J Street Cinema. I practically lived
there. They’d have double-bills and
change them several times a week. So
my friends and I would go see a pair
of classic Hitchcocks on, say, Monday,
then a couple of Buster Keatons on
Wednesday and the newest Truffaut
or Kurosawa or Fellini on the week-
end. This was all before the advent of
home video, of course. So I always tell
everyone that I got my degree from
Sac State but my education from the J
Street Cinema.”
THE START OF THE NEVADA
CITY FILM FESTIVAL
Returning to Nevada County, Wood-
bury wondered if he could translate
his preoccupation into a livelihood.
“The Sundance Film Festival in Tel-
luride had just started and I thought,
‘If they can do it there, why can’t we
do it here?’” said Woodbury.
With the aid of two friends, they
rented the Nevada Theatre in Nevada
City, advertised for independent and
amateur films to be submitted and
searched around for a big name to be
their Guest of Honor.
They struck a home run their first
time out when legendary director
Frank Capra agreed to come to town.
For his appearance on stage at the
Nevada Theatre, the festival showed
what is now regarded as Capra’s mas-
terpiece: “It’s a Wonderful Life.”
“That movie wasn’t as well known
then as it is now. Many people had
never seen it. We had a packed house
and at the end of the film, people
were openly crying. When the screen
went dark and Capra walked on-stage,
he received a standing ovation that
seemed like it went on for twenty min-
utes. It was amazing. I still get people
who come up to me on the street and
tell me how fondly they remember
that night.”
THE MAGIC THEATRE
During this period, Woodbury was
also searching around for a commer-
cial space to install a repertory cinema
like the one he had frequented in
Sacramento.
After bouncing around from spot to
spot, the newly-christened Magic The-
atre (named after a place “for mad-
men only” in Hermann Hesse’s novel

“Like my kumu (teacher) Uncle
Sonny Chillingworth, one of Hawaii’s
legendary performers: growing up in

pot of ethnicities as well as a constant
influx of sounds from around the
world.
“My various records reflect those di-
verse ingredients, and I am blessed to
have deep roots, having learned from
the slack key masters as a young boy.”
Slack key guitar was held in high
regard in Hawaii and trying to find a
teacher can be difficult.
“This was a very personal private
style of music,” said Makana. “The
tunings were secret and I had to learn
the them by ear.”

TAKING SLACK KEY TO

THE NEXT LEVEL
After learning from legends of slack
key Makana was getting multiple of-
fers from record labels for his unique
sound and strong voice.
“I chose at a very young age to keep
with the slack key guitar,” Makana
said. “I had offers to sway me to the
pop side of things but I chose to stick
with the tradition of slack key.”
By sticking to the traditional side of
things Makana has been able to travel
all over the world sticking to his roots
but also branching out and putting his
spin on the style.
He has performed in venues world-
wide ranging from China’s Tianjin
Opera House to The White House,
toured nationwide with Jason Mraz,
opened for Sting, Santana, Gotye &

Makana is also featured in the

“I try to teach when I’m on the road

“But I really want to take slack key

As slack key guitar is typically a
traditional style, Makana is taking it
to new levels.
“After the tour I plan to start work-

is a combination of piano and slack

Margaret Warner Swan Levine

Margaret “Peggy” Swan Levine passed Monday,
September 25, 2017, at the UC Davis Medical
Center in Sacramento. She was 72.
on stage
‘Ordinary Days’ is extraordinary
Peggy was born to Robert and Martha D. Swan
in San Francisco December 12, 1944. She grew
up in Kensington, Calif.; graduated from Newport
Harbor High School in Costa Mesa, Calif.; and
attended the University of Oregon in Eugene,
San Francisco Art Institute and San Francisco
State, graduating with a Fine Arts degree in
Printmaking.
Peggy was a student at a time of social upheaval
and a participant in the activism surrounding
her. She took a lead role in using art to raise
awareness about crucial issues of the day,
including opposition to the war in Vietnam. HINDI GREENBERG

In 1967, Peggy met Howard Levine, a fellow student at SF State, and they
married the following year. In 1975, Peggy and Howard and their young excellently presented and per- PHOTO BY HEIDI GRASS

family moved to Grass Valley, where they purchased the Old Jones Hospital,
which they converted to a bed-and-breakfast, the Swan Levine House. Within
a short time, Peggy became active in a range of local issues, including arts,
politics, education and the environment.
Peggy and Howard and others purchased the historic Holbrooke Hotel in
downtown Grass Valley in 1990. Peggy became the manager of the hotel in
1995 and quickly demonstrated an ability to master complex management,
personnel and financial challenges – skills she applied to many other
endeavors.
Peggy was a natural-born leader and community organizer. She played key
roles in the creation of the Nevada County Arts Council, the Nevada County
Jewish Community Center, the Grass Valley Center for the Arts, and the
Nevada County campus of Sierra College. She was foreman of the Nevada
County Grand Jury and elected to the Nevada Union High School Board.
Peggy also served as a board member of the Foothill Theatre Company and
commissioner on the Grass Valley Historical Commission. For over 30 years,
she was a member of Grass Valley Ladies Relief Society.
In 2004, a friend asked Peggy to help clean up broken glass around the
North Star House, a historic but neglected local landmark designed by Julia
Morgan, architect of Hearst Castle. This marked the beginning of a passion
and purpose that lasted the rest of Peggy’s life. The North Star House
inspired her vision to rehabilitate a threatened treasure and create a standout
cultural event center. Hundreds of volunteers have contributed expertise and
thousands of hours toward making Peggy’s vision a reality. Today, The North
Star House is the home of the Nevada County Growers Market, a site for
fundraising events like the South Yuba River Citizens League’s Wild for the
River, and a popular wedding venue.
In January, Peggy was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia and enrolled
in a clinical trial at the UC Davis Medical Center, which was supported
locally by the Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital Cancer Center. Peggy viewed
this development as another opportunity to enlarge her circle of friendship
and build community. At both institutions, she received excellent treatment.
Peggy’s family wishes to recognize everyone who contributed to her care.
Peggy is survived by Howard, her husband of 49 years, and her three
children and their spouses, all of Sacramento: Nathaniel and his wife Tiffany,
Michael and his wife Maia, and Mara and her husband Chris. She has seven
grandchildren: Alex, Phoebe and Sadie; Martin and Malcolm; Layla and C.J.
She is also survived by her brother Chris Swan.
The home Peggy and Howard created in Grass Valley is also a home for
friends who became members of the family and survive her: Greg and Alexis
Guagnano, Barry Owen, and Posy Gering.
The celebration of Peggy’s life will be held Saturday, Oct. 28, at 2 p.m.
at The North Star House at 12075 Auburn Rd. in Grass Valley. In lieu of
flowers, donations may be made to Peggy’s favorite causes, The North Star
Historic Conservancy and The Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital Foundation.
formed by Sierra Stages. It is
a “sung through” musical, with all words and
character development rendered in song.
The piece was originally presented by the
company as a reading in 2015, and now, uti-
lizing the same director and cast, they have
expanded that earlier well-done presentation
to include all accoutrements of a fully staged
play, including sets, props, costumes and
lighting.
This is a refreshingly amusing and honest
musical — with lively music and unclichéd
lyrics by Adam Gwon — about the difficultly
in creating and building authentic relation-
ships in a big and impersonal city, this one
being New York.
Since Gwon has the skill to avoid forced
rhymes, there are 19 songs with fairly precise,
expressive and funny lyrics. And fortunately,
all four vocalists enunciate distinctly, so each
sung comment and aside is clearly projected.
The action is divided among two men and
two women, each expressing longings and
worries about reaching yet unknown or even
unattainable goals, and searching for fulfill-
ment, happiness and love.
This play is atypical in that the two men
are the romantics, more kind and open to
experience, while the two women are, at least
early on, somewhat gloomy, curt and socially
clumsy.
Almost all songs are sung by an individual
facing the audience, for us to listen to their
problems, with only a few duos, trios or quar-
tets — underscoring the difficulty of commu-
nicating directly with another individual.
The almost annoyingly optimistic but
starving artist Warren (Jay Barker) picks up
discarded items to fantasize about, and sees
beauty in the simple things in life.
At times acerbic, Deb (Nancy Haffey) is a
college student working on her thesis; when
she leaves her research book on a bench,
Nancy Haffey and Jay Barker in the Sierra
Stages production of “Ordinary Days.”
Warren finds it and this leads to a meeting
arranged at a museum.
The couple, moving in together and trying
to merge their lives and belongings, is patient
Jason and Claire (Jonathan Hansard and Kim
Wellman). But Claire is finding it difficult
to commit to Jason due to something in her
past.
Sandra Rockman directs this musical, as
she did the 2015 play reading, fully fleshing
it out and giving it a lovely choreographed,
balletic flow.
All four actors — Barker, Haffey, Hansard
and Wellman — wonderfully emote, move,
and sing (and the music, while tuneful, is not
easy) to the excellent on-stage piano accom-
paniment of Musical Director Ken Getz. Each
actor has more than one amazing acting turn
and great song.
The simple but functional set — a New
York skyline with projected images and props
used to simulate other locales — is creatively
designed by Constance Ammon and uses the
limited space of the Off Center Stage to create
an intimacy perfectly suited to this engaging
and gentle show.
Sound design by Peter A. Mason and light-
ing design by Hunter Schott contribute to the
ambiance of the Big Apple.
Another “be sure to see it” Sierra Stages
show, “Ordinary Days” isn’t ordinary — it is
a delightful theater experience. The music
continues through Oct. 28 at the Off Center
Stage.
Hindi Greenberg enjoys quirky characters
illuminated in writings, being one herself.
She’s probably most like Warren, seeing
beauty in simple things like nature, color and
fine acting and writing.

‘A Hard Days Night’ was more than a movie
Fab Four Film shows
Thursday only at
Nevada Theatre
By Steve Baker
Special To Prospector
Of course, the Beatles’ first
feature film, “A Hard Day’s Night,”
had to become a hit.
Everything the Fab Four
touched that fabled year of 1964
turned to gold. And then some.
Now, though, the film’s being
rediscovered for the spunky fun
and off-kilter antics that young
John, Paul, George and Ringo dis-
play in it, as well as the invention
of the music video — or at least its
format — by the movie’s director
Richard Lester.
In fact, MTV — the cable
network built on music videos
— even gave Lester a pioneering
award for his innovation.
And top film critic Roger Ebert
praised “A Hard Day’s Night,”
well, to the heights, calling it, “one
of the great life affirming land-
marks of the movies.”
Um, that would be a thumbs up
for a real thumbs upper.
So all that makes this Thurs-
day one-night-only showing of “A
Hard Day’s Night” an even more
pleasurable prospect when the
film plays the Nevada Theatre,
downtown Nevada City, at 7:30
p.m. in a benefit screening for the
Bridge Street Project.
“We wanted something a lot
of people would be interested
in,” notes event producer Diane
McIntire, the non-profit Neva-
da City radio station’s outgoing
Board of Directors President.
“And there are lots of Beatles fans
out there.”
“And we know many of them
loved the music but maybe have
never seen the film,” she said.
“And those that have seen it, well,
now’s a great time to see it again,
rediscover its nuances and gags,

Sufi music with Fanna-Fi-Allah
Submitted to Prospector
Nevada County favorites Fanna-Fi-Allah
return to the Nevada Theatre in Nevada City
for an evening of Qawwali music as part of
Paul Emery’s Nevada City LIVE! concert
series on Friday.
In this time of religious extremism, there
are still those who are carrying the flame
of religious tolerance, devotion and mysti-
cism — and the Sufi’s are some of the most
ancient.
Fanna-Fi-Allah carries the tradition and
teachings of the Sufi’s in their music, the
devotionally driven and passionate music of
Qawwali.
Through many years of study and prac-
tice under the guidance of Qawwali masters
of India and Pakistan, their expression of
Qawwali music has become an authentic rep-
resentation and continuation of this ancient
tradition of Sufi music.
Fanna-Fi-Allah gives audiences a glimpse
inside this rich and vibrant Sufi culture. The
groups founding members have spent over
20 years learning this classical art-form.
During their 15 years of world-wide touring
they have played at many major international
festivals in the USA, Pakistan, Europe, Indo-
nesia, India, Egypt, and others.
With 10 albums Fanna-Fi-Allah have given
us an even greater glimpse into this Sufi

Kaki King and Shovelman

Submitted to Prospector
Tonight, Thursday, the
Miners Foundry will present
New York based guitarist
and composer Kaki King in
the critically acclaimed con-
cert “The Neck Is a Bridge to
the Body”.
This groundbreaking
multi-media performance
uses projection mapping
to present the guitar as an
ontological tabula rasa in
a creation myth unlike any
other, where luminous vi-
sions of genesis and death,

textures and skins, are cast
onto her signature Ovation
Adamas guitar, which has
been customized specifically
for this production.
Hailed by Rolling Stone
magazine as “a genre unto
herself,” King is a true
iconoclast.
Known for her percussive
and jazz-tinged melodies,
energetic live shows, use of
multiple tunings on acoustic
and lap steel guitar, and her
diverse range in different
genres, the Brooklyn-based
artist has defined herself
$POUSBDUPST
not only as simply one of the
best guitarists that the world
may ever know, but one of
the most interesting and
innovative.
“The Guitar is a
shape-shifter,” King said,
“something that plays all
types of music and really
fills all kinds of roles. It’s not
always the six-string guitar
that we all know and love.”
King learned how to play
the guitar when she was just
four years old. The process
of learning music came nat-
urally to the young musician,

and she eventually picked up
the drums as well, leading
her to develop a unique,
percussion-inspired guitar
technique.
She has since gone on to
release eight extraordinari-
ly diverse and distinctive
albums and performed with
such icons as Foo Fighters,
Timbaland, and The Moun-
tain Goats. She’s also con-
tributed to a number of film
soundtracks, including Into
the Wild and August Rush.
Another of King’s musical
talents is composing. In
2015, she was commissioned
by Pulitzer Prize-winning
composer David Lang to
perform her original piece
“Other Education” alongside
She recently announced
Live at Berklee, her first new
release in over two years.
Opening the show is
special guest Shovelman,
a junkyard beatnik; gui-
tar wielding surrealist folk
superhero. An enigmatic
iconoclast, his music lure
listeners into another place
and time.
Drawing psychedelic rock
melodies out of a barn shovel
turned slide guitar, Shov-
elman manipulates cutting
edge looping FX to craft
broken orchestral experi-
ences, retelling tall-tails and
immortal hotel room hymns.
