Local ski legend inducted into hall of fame
The Uber of movers Santa Monica-based company aims to create on demand moving service
Salerno now teaches with indoor simulators

If your friends won’t help you move anymore, Bryant Ezeji and Julia Cook will. Well, their new app Trekk will. “Trekk is essentially Uber or Lyft, but instead of moving people, we just move their stuff,” CEO of Trekk, Ezeji, 26, said. “However our service doesn’t end at the curb. We take it where you need it. And if you have a couch or a piano, any large or awkward item, that is kind of what we dial in on. “ Trekk, a new company based out of Santa Monica, has a focus on short regional moves. The company currently has between 700 and 800 users and has done 1,121 moves, mainly within the Santa Monica and Venice Beach area, since opening shop in July. “We don’t do interstate or SEE MOVERS PAGE 9

Bob Salerno is no stranger when it comes to exhilarating thrills. He’s carved his way down myriad mountains, soared off ramps to perform aerial acrobatics and won world titles with his skiing skills. But even those excitements couldn’t compare to the way he felt when he heard that he would be inducted with this year’s class into the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame. “I was quite elated,” said Salerno, a Santa Monica-based businessman who trains skiers of all levels on virtual simulators at his local facility. “It’s exciting. It’s a huge award, so I’m really quite excited. It’s hard to put it in words.” Salerno will be honored during an induction ceremony April 9 in Aspen, Colo., and he will be formally enshrined in September at the hall’s home in Ishpeming, Mich. Joining him in the 2015 class are

It takes a team NOTHING BIG IN THIS WORLD HAPPENS
Coming Soon!

without one crazy person enrolling a whole bunch of other people in an idea and doing something that was thought couldn’t be done. Whether it is Elon Musk changing the car industry with the success of his Tesla Motors, how we pay for things with PayPal or view space travel with SpaceX, or a small time guy like me wanting to wake people up to the topic of domestic abuse - it takes more than one person to drive an idea to a wider audience. I just had a crazy two weeks. On the one hand I was running an (now successful) IndieGoGo campaign for my documentary, “What About The Men? Exploring the Hidden Side of Domestic Violence,” (www.whataboutthemen.com) while simultaneously working on the very first fundraiser for JustDriveSafe.org in Naples, Florida. The IndieGoGo campaign was a success thanks to 80 people who believed in me. Some of them I’ve known for years, and others have never even spoken to me but follow me on Facebook and Twitter and support the work I do with men and fathers. Having a successful campaign means that we can now move forward. It takes faith, hard work and inspiration to accomplish anything in this life. I had faith that the world would back this movie (but it did get scary at times!) My team put in the hard work - THANK YOU to my editor Dave Marquez for the MANY, MANY long hours he’s put in. I’m sure there’s not enough coffee in Los Angeles for you!!! The soundtrack was composed by Genuine Childs’ Anthony and Alexander Amato who are amazing musicians and put in multiple long nights crafting just the right musical tone for the trailer - THANK YOU BOYS!!! Raising money is very emotionally draining, takes long hours of phone calls, email, texting, Facebooking, Twittering and sticking to a strategy, along with an obsession for data tracking to know who has given, how much, when, and being sure to thank them. A crowd-funding campaign is a great opportunity to clean out that contact list and figure out who you want to keep as an acquaintance, friend or client. It’s also a great opportunity to get back in touch with people you have not spoken to in months or years. It’s a sprint to raise even a very modest goal like $5,000, you do it at $5 and $10 donations with the occasional $100, $200 and then a whale of a supporter comes in with a $500 or $1,000 and your sails get full again. I could not have finished this process without the support of the men who have come forward, for the trailer and the people who urged me on during the IndieGoGo campaign. The men continue to be my Inspiration - their stories are heartfelt, honest and moving - they are MY inspiration and why I do what I do - THANK YOU Tommy Vext, Wayne Marqua, Chris Dancel and the tens of thousands who are still suffering. I couldn’t do the movie without
experts like Carol Crabson from Valley Oasis, Dr. Debra Warner from the Chicago School of Forensic Psychology, Harry Crouch from the National Coalition for Men and Christopher M Anderson from Malesurvivor.org. I made a quick video on what it takes to crowd-fund on IndieGoGo. It’s only a 1:22 minute video, but you’ll laugh, and more importantly learn HOW TO CELEBRATE! You can watch it at https://vimeo.com/144356477. But while all that Facebooking, tweeting and texting was going on, I was also on a plane to Naples, Florida to help out with the JustDriveSafe.org first annual H.A.R.T. run. It’s the Hannah Ahlquist Relentless Throwdown - a 5k run to benefit a little girl who was paralyzed on Easter Sunday coming home from church with her Collier County Sheriff ’s Office father, public school teacher and big sister. The family was hit by an impaired driver and Hannah was paralyzed from the chest down. I’m on the board of JustDriveSafe.org which is an education, advocacy and technology hub founded by Philip Huml. Phil is an old friend of mine that I met in my mens group in Santa Monica. Phil is a survivor of a sidewalk accident. He came out of the barber and was standing on the sidewalk when a SUV T-boned a SUV, sending the SUV into the air which then hit Phil, almost killing him. He had multiple broken bones, his jaw was wired shut for six weeks, and he had a traumatic brain injury. When he recovered he founded JustDriveSafe to make the roadways a safer place. Four months ago Phil met the Ahlquist family and decided to throw a fundraiser. He called me and excitedly said, “We’re doing an event.” My stomach dropped. We were barely a year old, and I was across the country. But ok. Some times you get asked to jump off a cliff and Phil asked me to, and I said yes. So we started working on the run. The H.A.R.T run was this past Sunday, so while I was in the final hours of my IndieGoGo campaign we were filling runners registration bags, doing last minute errands and chores preparing for the 271 runners that were going to appear and run or walk their way through the Collier County Regional Park at 7:30 a.m. It was crazy. If it wasn’t for coffee, pizza, coffee and sugar I know I wouldn’t have made it. But we did make it. We raised over $5,000 for Hannah and over $5,000 for “What About The Men.” Some days I’m the crazy person who is coming up with ideas and enrolling others, some days I’m the enrolled and just showing up to support others. In either case, the reality is that nothing gets done without a crazy person, and a team.

Santa Monicans for Safe Access (SAMOSA) should like to respond to your article “Quibbles Over Cannabis” (Oct. 28, 2015). We are parents with children too! Countless of our patient-residents’ kids attend school in Santa Monica. SAMOSA is keen on ensuring that medical marijuana is not available to children. However, if proposed restrictions do nothing to further that, but instead cause additional needless difficulties for already suffering patients, then compassion obliges caring people to question these restrictions. In the article, the Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) says “We want to make sure the City goes above and beyond and sets a higher standard for other communities.” Honestly, Santa Monica has done just that. Any dispensary must go through a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) process. A CUP is the most stringent, rigorous and public process the City has. Any dispensary is licensed only by the Planning Commission, and only after a thorough public vetting. Moreover, this CUP process is FAR more exhaustive than the licensing processes in West Hollywood or many other communities. As we said in the article, there are some of the PTSA’s proposed restrictions with which we agree. Others are impracticable or harmful with no apparent protection benefit. For example, among the PTSA’s proposed restrictions are limits on a dispensary’s hours to Monday - Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and patients only to Santa Monica residents. The aim of this is that “…there isn’t the ability for the kids to run off campus in the middle of the day or bring it back to campus.” We just cannot see how conforming a dispensary’s hours to school hours or its patients only to residents accomplishes this. And, the only campus that allows students to go off-campus during school is SAMOHI; which is many thousands of feet away from the areas where a dispensary might locate (Santa Monica or Wilshire Blvds.). What is certain, though, is that requiring an already suffering patient to take time off from work to get their medicine, or denying a veteran with PTSD help just because they don’t have the “right” zip code is cruel. I myself am a husband of 33 years, a father and a grandfather. So, after more than two years of public hearings and debate throughout the Zoning Ordinance Update process, we are very happy that the PTSA has now recognized the need for safe access. SAMOSA wants to work with the PTSA so all of our kids are safe while our suffering neighbors have local access.

SAN FRANCISCO The push to put California among the states where marijuana can be sold to and legally used by adults for recreation took a major step forward on Monday as ballot language backed by Napster cofounder Sean Parker, other wealthy entrepreneurs who support pot legalization and leading advocacy groups was filed with the state. The proposed legalization initiative is one of more than a dozen that has been submitted in California for the November 2016 election. Because of the deep pockets, political connections and professional credibility of its supporters, however, observers think the so-called Adult Use of Marijuana Act is the vehicle with the greatest chance of success. “We believe this effort has the support and resources to mount a successful campaign for responsible adult-use,” California Cannabis Industry Association Executive Director Nate Bradley, whose organization is endorsing the measure, said. “This is the one to watch. This is the one.” The measure would allow adults 21 and over to buy an ounce of marijuana and marijuana-infused products at licensed retail outlets and also to grow up to six pot plants for personal recreational use. Both the new recreational market and the state’s existing medical marijuana industry would be regulated through the California Department of Consumer Affairs and authorize the state to impose the same 15 percent excise tax on both medical and recreational marijuana. Four people who worked on the initiative independently told The Associated Press that the drafting process and early work to enlist sponsors and build a campaign team was spearheaded by Parker, the billionaire technology investor who upended the music business as a teenager by co-founding the file sharing site Napster and served as Facebook’s first president. Those people requested anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss Parker’s involvement or to name the other wealthy entrepreneurs expected to fund the effort until an official campaign committee starts raising money and becomes subject to
state disclosure laws. Other potential donors who have expressed interest in bankrolling the work to qualify the measure for the ballot and to mount a multi-million dollar election campaign include a political action committee founded by the family of the late Progressive Insurance executive Peter Lewis; some members of the Chicago family that owns the Hyatt hotel chain; and Justin Hartfield, chief executive of online marijuana directory WeedMaps, the sources said. Lewis, who died almost two years ago, gave $218,505 in 2010 to support what became an unsuccessful attempt to legalize recreational marijuana in California. Parker gave $100,000. The Parker-backed initiative also has lined up support from the Drug Policy Alliance and the Marijuana Policy Project, two leading marijuana reform advocacy groups that led the earlier campaigns to pass pot legalization measures in Colorado, Washington, Oregon and Alaska. “This is the most incredibly broad coalition that could have been brought together, everything from the drug policy reform movement to the environmental movement to the industry actors to the medical field, as well as the lineup of all of the most likely funders for something like this,” said Lynne Lyman, California director for the Drug Policy Alliance. The fledgling campaign recruited Dr. Donald Lyman, the former head of state health department division responsible for discouraging tobacco use, and former California Fish and Game Commission President Michael Sutton as the measure’s official proponents — the individuals whose names will appear in voter guides as the sponsors. While it has attracted the most support so far and stands poised to amass the most funding, the new measure may not be the only one seeking to legalize recreational pot use California voters may face next year. The Coalition for Cannabis Policy Reform, a group that spent months soliciting ideas for what a California measure should look like at meetings throughout the state, submitted its own initiative on Oct. 2 with the backing of the president of the California NAACP.

California settles debt collection suit with JPMorgan Chase BY DON THOMPSON Associated Press
SACRAMENTO The nation’s largest bank will pay $100 million to settle a California lawsuit alleging it used illegal methods to collect debts from more than 125,000 credit card holders, the state’s attorney general announced Monday. JPMorgan Chase & Co., the largest U.S. bank by assets, will pay an estimated $10 million to consumers in California as part of a previously announced $50 million national agreement, and will pay another $50 million in penalties to the state to settle a 2013 lawsuit. It is agreeing to change practices that the state says violated California law and led the company to file thousands of debt collection lawsuits between 2008 and 2011. They include collecting incorrect amounts, selling bad credit card debt, and running what Attorney General Kamala Harris’ office calls a debt collection mill that “robo-signed” court documents. The deal includes reimbursing military members in California in cases where the company improperly obtained default judgments. The state says the company failed to check if customers were on active military duty but falsely swore it had done so. “This settlement provides real relief to tens of thousands of Californians, including servicemembers, and prevents JPMorgan Chase from continuing these deceptive and illegal debt collection practices,” Harris said in a statement.
JPMorgan Chase spokesman Paul Hartwick said the company reached a similar settlement with 47 other states’ attorneys general in July. He provided a statement from that settlement that says the company stopped the practices years ago. Among other allegations, the state said the company used illegal threats; sued borrowers based on insufficient evidence, betting that they wouldn’t challenge the lawsuits; and failed to tell customers they were being sued while swearing they had been properly notified. Harris said the company frequently “robo-signed” legal documents including sworn declarations without first reviewing the files as it rushed to obtain court judgments and wage garnishment orders. The state said the company also provided 30,000 robo-signed sworn statements backing lawsuits filed by outside debt-collectors. Those accounts were often inaccurate or not collectable because the debt had been settled, discharged in bankruptcy or wasn’t owed, the state said. Robo-signing was also widely used in mortgage foreclosures until it was outlawed. JPMorgan Chase is one of five major national banks that settled with California and other states over such practices after the housing market collapsed. As part of the lawsuit, the company is required to permanently stop attempting to collect more than 528,000 customer accounts valued at hundreds of millions of dollars.

fellow freestyle skiing world champion Genia Fuller; longtime industry leader David Ingemie; magazine publisher Henry Kaiser; Olympic snowboarding medalist Chris Klug; adaptive skiing innovator Jim Martinson; and late resort developer Edgar Stern. Originally from Ogden, Utah, Salerno grew up water-skiing and eventually transitioned to the snow. He took gold in aerials at the world championships in 1974, and in 1998 he won another title at the Wayne Wong World Championships. “I was a monster in those days,” he said. Salerno, 62, has also served as an ambassador for his sport by being featured in Warren Miller and Willy Bogner films. Because he competed in multiple disciplines, Salerno came to Southern California to train on the equipment at Phil Gerard’s Ski World. But an elite performer, he didn’t immediately warm to the idea of practicing his skills on a machine. “I thought it was dumb the first time I looked at it,” he said. “But once you get on it and do it, it’s really cool.” The success he had as a result of his off-

they announced they had their man at last. Patrick Watkins, 51, was charged Monday with 53 counts that included murder, attempted murder, and assault with a firearm, among others. He could face the death penalty if convicted. It wasn’t clear whether Watkins had an attorney. He was expected to have his first court appearance on Tuesday. “In some ways calling him a bandit doesn’t begin to capture the fear and the actions of this man,” Mayor Eric Garcetti said at a news conference announcing Watkins’ arrest. “He’s a cold-blooded killer, somebody who terrorized the streets of Los Angeles for too long.” The latest of 23 crimes linked to the case was the fatal shooting of 56-year-old Larise Smith as he walked his dog on Dec. 8, 2014. The other killing linked to the case is the November 2011 fatal shooting of 32-yearold Cassidy Vickers. Capt. William Hayes, who heads the department’s elite Robbery Homicide Division, said the crimes in the case were quickly linked because they involved the same suspect description and an unusual

mountain training ultimately convinced him to launch Virtual Snow, the flagship of which is located on Pico Boulevard near 31st Street. Virtual Snow also runs a school in Mountain High, but Salerno believes the local store gives prospective skiers a chance to experience the sport before heading out for a trip. “There are a lot of people on the Westside who go skiing, and we want to help make a better experience for them when we go to the mountain,” said Salerno, who still skies about 40 days per year. “Skiing and snowboarding are extreme sports for most people, and a lot of people quit because it’s expensive. It costs a lot of money to get your butt kicked. But my [clients] don’t quit. You have the muscle memory so when you go to the mountain, you understand the skills and words.” At Virtual Snow, Salerno’s customers practice on special equipment that works like a conveyor belt. It’s his way of passing the baton to future skiing enthusiasts. “It’s awesome,” he said. “What if you didn’t know how to walk? This is like putting them on a treadmill and showing them how to walk.” jeff@smdp.com
method of operation — victims were shot at before they were robbed. “That’s very unusual,” Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck said. “And it speaks to the dangerous nature of this individual and why he so richly deserves to be in prison.” Beck said the same gun was used in all the cases and was recovered during Watkins’ arrest Thursday at his apartment, where police say he lived alone. A forensic test on a piece of DNA evidence collected from one of the crime scenes matched Watkins and was the key to cracking the case, police said. “That was the trigger point for us,” Hayes said. Detectives identified the piece of DNA evidence after going back over every crime connected in the case in a renewed effort to solve it, which included assigning it to a new unit. Hayes said there was no apparent pattern in how the 35 victims in the case were chosen. Eighteen were men, 14 were women and three were transgendered. “He came up to them randomly and attacked them,” Hayes said. “He would walk up and begin shooting ... Obviously this is a horrendous crime that somebody would go up without giving people a chance to surrender.”

across state moves. We focus on short moves within LA communities. And so far we’re doing between 14 and 18 moves a day,” Ezeji said. Ezeji and Cook, Trekk’s CMO, attended Loyola Marymount University together and both worked in the student housing division. That is where the idea for Trekk began to sprout in their minds. “We did a lot of moving dressers and beds. And for most of our moving there was no system that was created to assist in the process. We’d get a request to move something on a Monday, but we wouldn’t receive it until Wednesday because we didn’t really have this up-to-date technology and it wasn’t really on demand,” Ezeji said. Following college, Cook, 24, went to work for the United Nations in marketing, and Ezeji went to work with his dad in a business in Nigeria. But a year ago Ezeji came back to Los Angeles and started doing some corporate work and he and Cook began to discuss ideas for a business they could start together. This was right around the time that Ezeji bought a large SUV. “I still had the same group of friends [when I came back] and all of them happened to be moving at the time. And I was the only friend that was getting bugged relentlessly and mercilessly to help move people’s stuff. Like I was getting harassed. So you know, Julia and I, we kind of put our heads together and thought ‘What if we could create a platform for people like our friends where you don’t have to wait four weeks for some person to come move for you.’ “Wouldn’t it be nice if you don’t have to go to Craigslist? Maybe there is a very easy way to get someone who is within a 2 to 3 mile radius to come help you. So we put our heads together and we came up with Trekk.” Ezeji and Cook want their user experience to be similar to Uber’s.

“We don’t want people to wait a week, four days, two hours for somebody to come help them move. We want to get those moves happening quick and in real time,” Ezeji said. The app also works in the same way as Uber. “So all you pretty much do with the app is type in your pick up location, then your drop off location. Then within 15 to 20 minutes one of our Trekkers will be en route to pick up your stuff and deliver it to the drop off location.” Trekk currently has 26 Trekkers, and just like with Uber they get to choose their own hours and are all independent contractors. The movers are all background checked and vetted before they can work for Trekk. Trekk requires that their movers be able to lift over 75 lbs. and own a truck, SUV or cargo van. Trekk is fully insured and has a policy that guarantees replacement or a full refund if a customer’s item is damaged. Ezeji said he and Cook see matching their faces with their company as one of their main goals for Trekk. “There is a huge deficit in terms of diversity in the tech space. Big companies like Google, Yahoo, a lot of big companies try to answer this issue. And we’re really trying to make our faces known because there is a lot of underrepresented groups, like women, minorities, whatever the case might be, that don’t think it’s ‘cool’ to be in the tech space or don’t think they can create something that will be ‘cool’ or be useful,” Ezeji said. “We just really wanna motivate and inspire entrepreneurs. And I think the biggest thing about it is we’re trying to motivate people who don’t think they can fit in and do something possible.” Ezeji said Trekk hopes to be the number one app in the nation. “We really are trying to become as big as Uber. But just in moving. That’s really our goal.” Trekk offers their services throughout all of Los Angeles. For more information about Trekk visit http://www.trekk.mobi/.

E. coli in Northwest marks Chipotle’s 3rd outbreak this year BY DONNA GORDON BLANKINSHIP Associated Press
SEATTLE Chipotle closed 43 of its Pacific
Northwest locations after the chain’s third foodborne illness this year sickened about two dozen people — prompting renewed scrutiny of a company that touts its use of fresh ingredients and farm-sourced fare. Cases of the bacterial illness were traced to six of the casual Mexican food restaurants, but the company voluntarily closed down all of its locations in Washington and the Portland, Oregon, area as a precaution as an investigation continues. Three people in the Portland area and 19 people in western Washington have gotten sick with E. coli as of Friday. Seventeen of them had eaten at a Chipotle restaurant during the past few weeks. Eight people have been hospitalized but no deaths have been reported. About a dozen more people were being tested for E. coli on Monday in Washington state and health officials were aggressively searching for more cases, said Dr. Scott Lindquist, state epidemiologist for communicable diseases for the Washington State Department of Health. Lindquist does not expect the number of sick people to increase dramatically, and he said they are not positive yet that the outbreak is limited to people who ate at Chipotle restaurants over the past few weeks. Those sickened in the E. coli outbreak range in age from 11 to 61. Lindquist did not have any detailed information about their medical conditions. Chipotle has faced other recent foodborne outbreaks. A salmonella outbreak linked to tomatoes sickened dozens of people in Minnesota beginning in August, according to state health officials. In California, health workers said norovirus sickened nearly 100 customers and employees at a Chipotle restaurant in Simi Valley in mid-August. “Having three problems in a couple of months means that Chipotle is not paying attention to food safety like it should,” said Bill Marler, a Seattle food safety lawyer who built his national reputation with the 1993 E. coli outbreak at Seattle Jack in the Box restaurants. The common denominator in most foodborne illness outbreaks is poor food safety, Marler said. People should not assume a company that focuses on local and fresh ingredients — like Chipotle — is going to be immune from food safety issues, he said. “People shouldn’t have a false sense of
security that local means safer,” Marler said. Health officials believe the contamination at Chipotle is related to a fresh food product such as lettuce or other produce. The outbreak probably will not be traced to one sick individual or one instance of cross-contamination of food because the cases are connected with various restaurants, said Marisa D’Angeli, medical epidemiologist with the Washington State Department of Health. The company is not planning to close any other restaurants in other states because there is no evidence of a link to other locations, company spokesman Chris Arnold said. Only six restaurants in Washington and Oregon have been connected to the outbreak. “We closed 43 in those states out of an abundance of caution,” Arnold said. Reopening the shuttered locations will depend on the investigation, he said. Adam Adamson of New York marketing consulting firm BrandSimple said the outbreak in Washington state is likely to hurt the brand far beyond the closed stores. “Many consumers will feel, ‘Why risk it?,’ until they find out how it happened,” Adamson said. “Consumers have lots of choices.” Although the shutdown restaurants represent just 2 percent of the company’s 1,931 locations, each restaurant brings in about $2.5 million in revenue a year on average, according to Chipotle. Chipotle’s stock fell as much as 5 percent early Monday, but recovered slightly, falling 2.5 percent to close at $624. The decision to close down immediately will help the brand in the long-term, said Laura Ries, president of Atlanta marketing strategy firm Ries & Ries. “They went above and beyond what they needed to do,” she said. Customers tend to return to eating foods that caused illnesses as soon as they are assured it’s safe, said Darren Seifer, a food analyst at market research firm NPD Group. Chipotle’s stock fell as much as 5 percent early Monday, but recovered slightly, and was down about 3 percent by Monday afternoon. Outside a closed Chipotle near the University of Washington in Seattle, Trey Reche stopped by to read the signs on the door. “I think Chipotle has too much of a strong fan base to go completely under by this,” said Reche, who last ate at Chipotle a few weeks ago. “It might be a huge wakeup call for them to rethink how they’re getting their food.”

Sudoku Fill in the blank cells using numbers 1 to 9. Each number can appear only once in each row, column, and 3x3 block. Use logic and process of elimination to solve the puzzle. The difficulty level ranges from (easiest) to (hardest).
GETTING STARTED There are many strategies to solving Sudoku. One way to begin is to examine each 3x3 grid and figure out which numbers are missing. Then, based on the other numbers in the row and column of each blank cell, find which of the missing numbers will work. Eliminating numbers will eventually lead you to the answer.

■ Stories surface regularly about a hospital patient declared dead but who then revives briefly before once again dying. However, Tammy Cleveland’s recent lawsuit against doctors and DeGraff Memorial Hospital near Buffalo, New York, reveals an incident more startling. She alleges that her late husband Michael displayed multiple signs of life (breathing, eyes open, legs kicking, attempted hugs, struggles against the tube in his throat) for nearly two hours, but with two doctors all the while assuring her that he was gone. (The coroner came and went twice, concluding that calling him had been premature.) The lawsuit alleges that only upon the fourth examination did the doc-
SHEPARD
tor exclaim, “My God, he has a pulse!” Michael Cleveland died shortly after that -- of a punctured lung from CPR following his initial heart attack -- an injury for which he could have been treated. ■ Hinton Sheryn, 68, on trial at England’s Plymouth Crown Court in September, denied he was the “indecent exposer” charged with 18 incidents against children dating back to 1973 -- that he would never do such a thing because he would not want anyone to see his unusually small penis. In response, the prosecutor brought in a prostitute known to have serviced Sheryn, to testify that his penis is of normal size. Sheryn was convicted and sentenced to 17 years in prison.

Tarantino, the glorious bastard By Katharine Romefelt
With some of the most important Hollywood producers backing his upcoming film The Hateful Eight, Quentin Tarantino’s protesting against police brutality a few weeks ago was a bad business decision. But
the director had every right to join New Yorkers on the Sixth Avenue march. Any public figure’s participation would have been an insult to the police force, but the NYPD resented Tarantino’s actions even more, con-

sidering him as a “purveyor of degeneracy”. His subversive and violent films are cinematic gems, but they don’t exactly encourage pacifistic and moral behavior. His marching could be perceived as hypocritical or just a fascination with lawlessness. Either way, the National Police Union is calling for a boycott of all Tarentino films. The police don’t want to be stereotyped as “murderers” and Tarantino rails against those officers who abuse their power. Whether he sabotaged the commercial viability of his upcoming film or not, using his fame to support a cause was commendable and brave. It should inspire other public figures to take a stand without regard for the bottom line.

Strange Brew
By John Deering
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ★★★ You could feel as if someone’s demands are out of whack. Rather than react, try to detach and work on seeing the big picture. You might not be hopeful about achieving a heartfelt desire, but you’ll try anyway. Tonight: Reveal more of what you feel without getting angry.
★★★ You’ll need to test out an assumption before you work with it. Reach out to an associate with whom you can brainstorm. This person could be particularly challenging when you share what is on your mind. You might be more emotional than you realize. Tonight: Take a walk.
Dogs of C-Kennel
By Mick and Mason Mastroianni
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ★★★★ Your hectic pace might not please someone who doesn’t see you clearly. Emotional extremes could come out when dealing with this person. Take your time with a project, as you’ll want it to be as good as you can make it. Tonight: Speak your mind.
★★★★ Take a risk that you have been considering. You won’t know the results of this choice until you throw yourself into it. Make sure you can handle the outcome if your plan falls apart. A friend will be emotional yet supportive. Tonight: Be aware of an authority figure’s observations.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) CANCER (June 21-July 22) ★★★ Be aware of the costs of continuing as you have been. Fatigue could make you more reactive than normal. Verbalize what is going on with you, and accept your limits. Someone at a distance will do whatever he or she can to inspire you. Tonight: Pay bills first.
★★★★★ One-on-one relating might not evoke the immediate results you desire. You could decide to approach a situation differently, as what you have been doing isn’t working. Being innovative will keep others on edge, and it also will provide different answers. Tonight: Just be yourself.
Garfield
By Jim Davis
AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.18) LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★ You might be greeting the day with a big smile. A family member might try a power play to get what he or she wants. An associate could decide to do something the way he or she wants it to be done. Be ready to take evasive action. Tonight: Surprising news makes its way to you.
★★★ Others will make it close to impossible to complete an important project. You simply might need to ignore the phone or cut a conversation short. However, if a distraction comes along, you could feel as if you have little choice but to say “yes.” Tonight: At a favorite place.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★ You have a lot going for you. You have been feeling more fortunate in the past few days. The smart move at this point is to allow others to take the lead. You need to be more observant. A friend’s feelings seem intense and nearly overwhelming. Tonight: Make it personal.
Tuesday, November 3, 2015
★★★★ You have a dreamy, emotional tone to your interactions right now. You might be having a difficult time staying present in the moment or believing that anything is really important. Let go of whatever is occupying your mind for now. Tonight: Try for an early bedtime.
JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: ★★★★★Dynamic ★★ So-So ★★★★ Positive ★ Difficult ★★★ Average
This year you tend to be quite dramatic, and as a result, you attract the attention of others. Your presentation exudes sensuality and mystery, which might explain people’s interest. Your creativity soars as it rarely has before. If you are single, others find you to be original. Understand what you want from a bond, and then you will know which person to choose. If you are attached, your sweetie is just as desirable as you are. This person often serves as a muse for you. You love LEO and his or her strength.
