Associated Press The Television Academy has voted to begin disciplinary pro- ceedings against disgraced film mogul Harvey Weinstein. The academy, which bestows the Emmy awards, said a hearing has been set for November to consider “action up to and including termi- nation of academy membership.” Weinstein, who recently has been accused of multiple acts of sexual harassment and assault spanning decades, has been fired from The Weinstein Co., a TV and movie film production company he co-founded with his brother Bob. He has been expelled from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the Producers Guild and the British Academy of Film and Television Arts. He is now facing criminal inquiries in three cities after an Italian actress told Los Angeles detectives the disgraced film mogul raped her in a hotel room in 2013. Police confirmed Thursday they are looking into the woman’s alle- gations, and her attorney said he would give additional details about them at a news conference outside a downtown Los Angeles court- house on Friday afternoon. The unidentified woman is an Italian model and actress, accord- ing to an announcement of attor- ney David M. Ring’s press confer- ence. In addition to talking to detectives, the woman and Ring spoke to the Los Angeles Times on Thursday, telling them Weinstein bullied his way into her hotel room, refused to leave and raped her.

LOS ANGELESSouthern California gets brief rain but heat on the way

A weak cold front is bringing rain showers to parched Southern California but fore-casters say there will be a quick turnabout as Santa Ana winds develop during the week-end, followed by possible record heat.

The National Weather Service says Friday morning’s precipitation will be short-lived,with clouds clearing through the day.

The weather then turns gusty, dry and increasingly hot, with a significant warmingtrend Monday and Tuesday, and critical fire danger.

An excessive-heat watch will be in effect Monday morning to Tuesday evening.Temperatures are expected to be in excess of 100 degrees, with the highest readings onTuesday.

On the Central Coast, forecasters are warning of 12- to 18-foot surf Friday, with somesets to 20 feet on northwest- and west-facing beaches.

WINNERAWARD WINNERAWARD WINNER

BY MICHAEL R. BLOODAssociated Press

Former White House adviser SteveBannon wants to oust Republican senatorshe feels are disloyal to President DonaldTrump. But when he comes to SouthernCalifornia on Friday, he’ll be in a stateTrump lost by over 4 million votes andwhere Republicans have become largelyirrelevant in state politics.

There wasn’t even a Republican on the bal-lot in last November’s U.S. Senate runoff — itwas two Democrats. And in Orange County,where Bannon will be speaking, severalRepublican House members are trying to holdonto their seats in districts carried by HillaryClinton in the 2016 presidential contest.

Bannon is scheduled to deliver a keynotespeech at a state Republican convention inAnaheim, just days after leveling a blisteringattack on Senate Majority Leader MitchMcConnell and other top Republicans at anArizona fundraiser.

Protesters plan to gather outside the hotelwhere Bannon will speak. He’s called for an“open revolt” against establishmentRepublicans, and is promoting a field of pri-mary challengers to take on incumbentRepublicans in Congress.

But in California, the GOP has been fad-ing for years.

The state has become a kind of Republicanmausoleum: GOP supporters can relive theglory days by visiting the stately presidentiallibraries of Ronald Reagan and RichardNixon, but today Democrats control everystatewide office and rule both chambers ofthe Legislature by commanding margins.

With the GOP relegated to the bleachersin Sacramento, Bannon’s message is likely toreceive a warm response from the conserva-tive activists who tend to dominate at theGOP conclave.

“Steve Bannon is a natural fit for a partythat is hungry for a revolution, and the partyin California is definitely hungry for a revo-lution,” former Orange County Republicanleader Scott Baugh said.

Not all Republicans are glad to see Bannon.In a series of tweets last week, former stateAssembly Republican leader Chad Mayes saidhe was shocked by the decision to have the

conservative firebrand headline the event.“It’s a huge step backward and demon-

strates that the party remains tone deaf,”Mayes tweeted.

California Republicans have bickered foryears over what direction to turn — towardthe political center or to the right.

Most of the state’s governors in the 20thcentury were Republicans, and state votershelped elevate a string of GOP presidentialcandidates to the White House. But theparty’s fortunes started to erode in the late1990s after a series of measures targetingimmigrants, which alienated growing seg-ments of the state’s population.

In 2007, then-Gov. ArnoldSchwarzenegger warned party members thatthe GOP was “dying at the box office” andneeded to move to the political center andembrace issues like climate change to appealto a broader range of voters. In 2011, a stateRepublican Party committee blocked anattempt by moderates to push the state GOPplatform toward the center on immigration,abortion, guns and gay rights.

The decline continued. Republicans arenow a minor party in many California con-gressional districts, outnumbered byDemocrats and independents. Statewide,Democrats count 3.7 million more votersthan the GOP.

U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa is among four GOPHouse members whose districts fall partly orcompletely within Orange County, once aRepublican stronghold in SouthernCalifornia but increasingly Democratic. Allfour are seen as targets as Democrats seek toregain a House majority.

Republicans retain about a 4-point regis-tration edge in the county, but nearly 1-in-4voters is aligned with no party, and thoseindependents tend to vote like Democrats.

Political scientist Jack Pitney, who teach-es at Claremont McKenna College, said hedoubted the speech would color the 2018congressional contests, which remain far offfor most voters.

More broadly, he said Bannon’s politicswould hurt the GOP, including among afflu-ent, well-educated voters who play animportant part in county elections.

“Inviting him was a moral and politicalblunder,” Pitney said in an email.

You Pay Nothing UntilYour Case Is Resolved

“If Democrats want to appease the far leftand their liberal mega-donors by supportinga baseless, radical effort that the vast major-ity of Americans disagree with, then have atit,” said Michael Ahrens, a spokesman for theRepublican National Committee.

Republicans will focus on “issues votersactually care about,” such as the economyand cutting taxes, he said.

The White House did not immediatelyrespond to a request for comment.

Steyer also said he will spend seven figureson an accompanying digital ad campaign.

An impeachment resolution brought lastweek by Democratic U.S. Rep. Al Green ofTexas died before coming up for a vote.Green has vowed to try again.

But Democrats such as House MinorityLeader Nancy Pelosi of California thinkimpeachment attempts are not worthwhilebecause they will fail in the Republican-ledCongress and could energize GOP votersheading into the next election.

Steyer has poured his wealth into a vari-ety of political efforts, mostly focused onstopping climate change.

FILM REVIEWBREATHE

Rated PG-13117 MinutesReleased October 13

There are so many variables beyond ourcontrol in how our life will be lived. The filmBreathe illustrates the great personal depthswhere we can find courage when it seemsnothing more can be done. This is the truestory of Robin Cavendish, who survived cat-astrophic illness to thrive in spite of devastat-ing disabilities. Cavendish, through resource-fulness and perseverance in the face ofalmost insurmountable odds, and throughthe dedication those close to him, not onlysurvived. He embraced life and spent yearshelping others with similar disabilities to liftthe quality of their lives as well.

Cavendish’s story is told in a simplestraightforward way in this film. The storyitself is the centerpiece. It’s an old-fashionedbiography and extraordinary love story.Cavendish at 28 was a handsome English teabroker and adventurer married to a beauti-ful British socialite. He had served for sevenyears in the British army. The couple hadjust given birth to a son. It was at this pointthat trajectory of his life changed profound-ly and seemingly tragically.

Breathe tells the story of how, in spite of thechanges to his reality, Cavendish is able to recap-ture the adventure of life that he so loved.He andhis best friend, who was a professor at Oxford,invented and developed devices that wouldenrich the lives of severely disabled people.

Director Andy Serkis is better known toaudiences as “Gollum” from the Lord of theRings movies and as “Caesar” in the Planet ofthe Apes franchise - or for his skill as a musi-

cian, a writer or as an innovator in motioncapture technology. Breathe is Serkis’s firstfeature film as a director. He is an actor’sdirector. That’s what makes this film work, asthe story is driven completely by the actors.Claire Foy (The Crown), who plays “DianaCavendish” in the film, noted that Serkis’ styleas a director drew amazing performancesfrom his cast. She also explained that she andstar Andrew Garfield, who plays “RobinCavendish,” have different acting styles. Foynoted that she likes to research and study hercharacter and then just to let herself becomethe character in the scene. Garfield is exactingin his preparation, with complete immersioninto the soul of his role, staying in characteron set even when he’s not on camera. His wasan extremely difficult role – all of his feelingshad to be communicated through the faceand eyes alone. Another notable performanceis that of Tom Hollander who plays both twinbrothers of Diana. The brothers appear inscenes together throughout the film andHollander endows each with a unique per-sonality.

Breathe is a testament to a band of friendsand family who refused to back down in theface of incredible adversity. We may some-times feel that we are alone in our existence.This movie is a story of how immense aneffect we can have on each other’s lives, inmany ways. An important note before yousee the film: pay close attention to the nameof the producer on the end credits.

taking a fresh look for complaints involvingWeinstein and the department has encour-aged anyone who may have informationabout abuses by the producer to contact thedepartment. London police are investigatingallegations of sexual assault against himmade by two women.

More than 40 women have accusedWeinstein, 65, of harassment or abuse.Actresses Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolieand Lupita Nyong’o have all accusedWeinstein of harassment, while actressesAsia Argento and Rose McGowan haveaccused the film mogul of raping them.

Nyong’o accused Weinstein of severalincidents of harassment in an op-ed piecepublished by The New York Times onThursday, including a 2011 incident inwhich she said the mogul tried to give her amassage at his Connecticut home. Sherefused, instead giving the mogul a massageand leaving when he said he wanted to takeoff his pants, Nyong’o wrote.

Also on Thursday, a group of about 30staffers for The Weinstein Company statedin a letter published online by The NewYorker that they didn’t know they were“working for a serial sexual predator.”

The employees say they knew ofWeinstein’s “infamous temper” and that hecould be “manipulative,” but didn’t know“that he used his power to systematically

assault and silence women.”“We know that in writing this we are in

open breach of the non-disclosure agree-ments in our contracts,” the letter stated.“But our former boss is in open violation ofhis contract with us - the employees - to cre-ate a safe place for us to work.

Representatives for Weinstein and TheWeinstein Company didn’t immediatelyreturn a request for comment on the letterFriday.

The stories of harassment and abuse dat-ing back decades has led to the total down-fall of a producer who once ruledHollywood’s awards season with a string ofcontenders including “Shakespeare in Love,”for which he shared an Oscar, and films suchas “The King’s Speech” and “Silver LiningsPlaybook.”

Since The New York Times published itsinitial expose on Oct. 5, honors conferred onWeinstein by Harvard University and theBritish Film Institute have been rescinded,and several Democratic lawmakers havedonated political contributions theyreceived from Weinstein to charity.

Ring said in a statement Thursday thatthe breadth of accusations against Weinsteincompelled his client to speak to police.

“My client is grateful to all the coura-geous women who have already come for-ward to finally expose Weinstein,” Ring said.“These women may not have realized it, butthey gave my client the support and encour-agement to hold Weinstein accountable forthis horrible act.”

cial institutions.”If approved, it will mark the end of an

eight-year saga over the future of the 1940’sera property. In 2009, a developer planned toput apartments on the site, with a LEEDSilver-rated, four story, mixed-use complexwith 26 apartments and a grocery store.Strong opposition developed to the projectafter a draft Environmental Impact Reportfound no way to mitigate the traffic impactof an additional 644 daily car trips generat-ed by the proposed apartments and store.The report found the resulting traffic impact“significant and unavoidable.”

The project resurfaced again in 2012 as afive-story mixed-use property with 83 units.

The application for a DevelopmentAgreement was eventually withdrawn. Theland went up for sale once again.

Jerry’s Liquor remained open despite themurky future. Last year it even sold a win-ning Powerball ticket worth $638,000 withfive matching numbers (but no powerball).For decades, returning customers went toSammy for their chosen vice, whether it bebooze, cigars, ice cream or caviar. The storeis now closed.

In 2016, Cadence Capital Investmentsbought the property for $10.5 million, or$470 a square foot, according to a reportfrom The Real Deal. An attorney involved inthe sale said the liquor store’s expiring leasedrove up the price – calling the final bidprice “aggressive.”

By MICK & MASON MASTROIANNI & JOHNNY HART

Once the flower opens completely, it immediately begins moving to the next phase. The petals wither; thefruit forms; the fruit falls. Knowing this, there is no reason to rush to the new stage. Let life unfold for youslowly. The sun is about to change stations. There won’t be a day exactly like this. Savor each part of thecycle.

Libra Sun’s Last Day

ARIES (March 21-April 19)The hand you were dealt is but one of manyfactors that are influencing the game, some ofwhich you can control, most of which you can’t.So you’ll dive into all that’s within your controland play daringly.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)There are reasons to root for the underdog,choose the road less traveled or quest forimpossible outcomes. Sometimes those rea-sons are good enough, but today not so much.Take on the battle you know you can win.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21)If you don’t feel like making an effort to reachout, fit in, deliver the goods, etc., well, that’stelling you something, too. Maybe this situa-tion is no longer for you, if it ever was.

CANCER (June 22-July 22)You don’t have to be merciless about gettingyour way. But if you’re going to be relentless atanything, be relentlessly charming. Why forceanyone’s hand when you can cast a spell on itinstead?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)That kindly baby sitter called time, which issupposed to keep everything from happeningall at once, does not seem to be doing her job.It’s like she’s checked into her phone and sud-denly it’s a free-for-all.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)As is usually the case, much can be accom-plished through hard work and continuousimprovement. It does take a long time, and it’snot the most exciting way, but it’s the best way.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)There’s always a way to look at life that is causefor alarm. And there’s always another way offinding the sweetness and charm in it. You dothe latter, and you’re so attractive because ofthis that you won’t know whom to choose.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)You were uncertain, and now you’re an expert.You were new in the group, and now you’re aleader. You were filled with nervous anticipa-tion, and now it’s old hat.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)There are those who will go out of the way totell you what you didn’t ask to know. They’renot to be believed, and in fact the truth is prob-ably the opposite of what they say. Of courseyou know this. It’s not your first rodeo.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Question traditional gender roles and otheraspects of life in which you could be automaticallyplaying out the script. There’s a danger in slavishlyfollowing the way things have always been done.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)Pay attention to what the others don’t under-stand and subsequently ignore or cast off. Withyour creativity you can easily make somethingglorious out of the items, jobs and relation-ships that others can’t value.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)You keep putting your feelers into the situationand coming out with the same information:You’re here because it worked once. But don’tbe afraid to reach out and explore other situa-tions that could work even better.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 21)

You’re onto something totally inspired. Just remember that “almost there” isn’t “there.” Keep goinguntil you reach the goal, even if it takes the entire solar return. Your loved ones will build their liveson the rock of your steadfast care and attention. Because people trust you, you’ll be promoted andwell-paid. Capricorn and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 27, 31, 28, 50 and 11.
