Hurricane-like winds swept across large swaths of California over the weekend, bringing with them not only worries over fires and power shut-offs but also some vexing questions for the state’s politicians and voters.

Simply put: What systemic changes can, or should, government officials put in place to keep these worrisome days of October from happening again?

NEWSOM: ‘WE HAVE TO JUST GET THROUGH THIS’

Gov. Gavin Newsom spent the weekend in Sonoma County assessing the impact of the Kincade fire and meeting with some of those who fled as it threatened their homes and neighborhoods. This is standard fare for governors during crisis situations, and he pledged to stay engaged through the duration.

But Newsom has bigger challenges on the horizon. And he knows it. While wildfires can be sparked by any number of activities — and the cause of the Sonoma blaze has yet to be established — the conversation about when weather conditions merit a power shut-off is a complicated blend of regulation and responsibility. As we wrote over the weekend, the current structure essentially allows any utility company to call the shots.

That’s unlikely to pass muster in fire seasons to come. In an interview Sunday with Times staff writer Melody Gutierrez, Newsom said serious changes are needed in the use of a public safety power shut-off, known in government jargon as a PSPS.

“The PSPS is appropriate, but it cannot be done at this scale that it’s being done,” Newsom said. “That remains the biggest issue: the scale and the scope.”

For the governor and millions of Californians, it’s been a long month. The first power shut-offs came almost three weeks ago, met mostly with public anger. Last week’s blackouts might not have been enough, with questions remaining about the failure of Pacific Gas & Electric’s equipment near the suspected point of origin of the Kincade fire.

Discussion of this and other power shut-off topics has dominated just about everything over the last few days.

“What it feels like right now is just this pound, pounding,” Newsom said on Sunday. “We have to just get through this.”

WHO SHOULD OWN THE UTILITIES?

Amid the many ideas floated during this trying month of flipped switches and frayed nerves is whether Californians — or, for that matter, Americans — should rethink private ownership of large utilities.

Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez (D-San Diego), one of the state’s most outspoken liberal legislators, sparked on Sunday an intense Twitter discussion on the subject.

“Please tell me when having a for-profit corporation in charge of a necessary public service (utilities, hospitals, schools) has served the people well,” Gonzalez wrote in her initial post. “The conflict of serving shareholder profits seems to undermine the public good/concern we expect from these companies …”

Then there were these tweets from Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders: “Our hearts go out to Californians affected by the devastating wildfires. Climate change is real, and when I am president, we are going to treat this like the existential crisis it is,” he wrote in the first posting.

Sanders followed it up by saying, “It is time to begin thinking about public ownership of major utilities.”

PRAISE FOR THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION

And we’d be remiss to not point out that Newsom, amid all of the frustrations of the moment, offered unqualified praise for the response he’s gotten over the past trying few days from the administration of President Trump.

The governor described the work of the federal emergency officials as “spectacular.” And he said acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan called him on Friday to check in and see what else could be done to help the state.

“I have nothing but good things to say about the federal government’s support,” Newsom said.

UNDER PRESSURE, REP. KATIE HILL RESIGNS

Her win over a Republican incumbent in 2018 was heralded as a huge success story for California Democrats. But now, after several days of intense criticism, Rep. Katie Hill has decided she will not be able to finish her two-year term in the House of Representatives.

On Sunday, the Santa Clarita Democrat announced her resignation after allegations of intimate relationships with a congressional aide and a campaign staff member. It was a quick fall for a new lawmaker who had been seen as a rising star, previously chosen by her fellow freshmen as their representative to the House leadership.

“For the mistakes made along the way and the people who have been hurt, I am sorry, and I am learning I am not a perfect person and never pretended to be,” Hill wrote in a letter released on Sunday.

It will now be up to Newsom to call a special election to fill the remaining months on her term. There’s some flexibility in state law that could allow some of that contest to be consolidated with the statewide election calendar in 2020.

TODAY’S ESSENTIALS

— The U.S. special forces operation in Syria that led to the reported death of Abu Bakr Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State militant group, brought to a close a manhunt that lasted nearly a decade.

— Trump attacked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Saturday and sparred with Sen. Kamala Harris, engaging in a feisty online back-and-forth over their separate efforts to connect with African American voters.

— Citing gasoline prices that can be 30 cents a gallon higher than those in other states, Newsom has asked the state attorney general to investigate whether California’s leading oil and gas suppliers are involved in price-fixing.

— Imaad Zuberi, a Los Angeles venture capitalist who flip-flopped his way into political prominence with large donations to Democratic and then Republican campaigns, has been charged with concealing his lobbying efforts for foreign entities, secretly using foreign money for political contributions and fleecing clients of millions of dollars.

— State agents for years have conducted undercover operations and arrested dozens of Californians for bringing illegal guns and ammunition magazines into the state. But some of those agents have been redeployed in recent years.

— California voters who are unaffiliated with a political party will be able to participate in the Democratic presidential primary next year, but they will be prohibited from casting ballots for the president or any possible Republican challenger, according to information released last week by state elections officials.

— Former U.S. Rep. John Conyers, whose resolutely liberal stance on civil rights made him a political institution in Washington and back home in Detroit, died Sunday at age 90.

— Trump was greeted with boos and chants of “Lock him up!” while attending Game 5 of the World Series between the Houston Astros and host Washington Nationals on Sunday.

LONDON — 

The Rams got way ahead of the curve two weeks ago when they made a flurry of trades that netted lockdown cornerback Jalen Ramsey.

That could prevent them from making more headline-grabbing deals before the NFL trade deadline, Tuesday at 1 p.m. PDT.

“There’s not a lot more we could probably do,” Rams general manager Les Snead said the day after he traded for Cleveland Browns offensive lineman Austin Corbett, sent cornerback Marcus Peters to the Baltimore Ravens, and then packaged two first-round draft picks and a fourth-round pick to the Jacksonville Jaguars for Ramsey.

Then again …

“I would never say never,” coach Sean McVay said after the 24-10 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in London.

The Rams have been one of the NFL’s most aggressive teams in the trade market the last few years. Snead has acknowledged that “when you get a reputation that you’re willing to make moves” and there are “some interesting ideas being floated,” the Rams could be active.

“You always have to assess those,” he said.

McVay echoed the sentiment.

“Les and I, we’ll look at and we’ll figure out if there’s a situation to be had that maybe upgrades us, that fits the framework of not only just this year but the entirety of what we want to do in the next couple years,” he said.

The Rams have several players with huge contracts, including defensive tackle Aaron Donald, receiver Brandin Cooks, running back Todd Gurley and quarterback Jared Goff. The Rams are expected to eventually sign Ramsey to a big contract.

To save money, the Rams have shopped cornerback Aqib Talib, a person with knowledge of the situation said. The 12th-year pro is earning $8 million in the final year of his contract and struggled at times in the Rams’ first five games. Talib is on injured reserve with what McVay has described as broken ribs.

Asked Sunday about an ESPN report regarding Talib’s situation, McVay told reporters, “There’s always things that come up in some discussions, but for the most part we like to just keep those things in house.”

Last season, the Rams made a key move at the trade deadline, acquiring edge rusher Dante Fowler from the Jacksonville Jaguars for a two draft picks.

Fowler performed well and made several game-turning plays during the Rams’ drive to the Super Bowl. His biggest play: A hit on New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees in overtime of the NFC championship game caused the future Hall of Famer to throw a wobbly pass that was intercepted by safety John Johnson. The play set up a game-winning field goal that sent the Rams to the Super Bowl.

Fowler was an unrestricted free agent after the season, but he agreed to a one-year $12-million contract with the Rams. He had three sacks in the Rams’ 37-10 victory over the Atlanta Falcons and 1½ sacks against the Bengals.

Ramsey seemed destined for a high-profile pursuit at the trade deadline, but the Rams’ preemptive moves on Oct. 15 took him off the market.

Ramsey is in the fourth year of a rookie contract that is paying him $3.6 million this season. He will earn $13.7 million in 2020 unless he and the Rams agree to an extension before then. The Rams technically could control him for two more seasons with franchise tags, but they are expected to sign him to a long-term deal.

Ramsey, 25, made an immediate impact in his Rams debut against the Falcons. He forced a fumble, mostly neutralized star receiver Julio Jones and helped provide the Rams’ front more time to pressure and sack veteran quarterback Matt Ryan.

Ramsey made six tackles against the Bengals.

“I’m getting there,” he said after the game. “It’s still a process. … On a couple calls, in my mind, I played them like I’m used to playing them, where here it’s a little bit different.”

The off week will help him get up to speed, he said.

“I feel like I’ll really be really rolling when we get back,” he said.

Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as we decide to go all marathon on you and do newsletters the next two days.

First off, given that the Breeders’ Cup is at Santa Anita, we are going to have bonus newsletters on Tuesday and Wednesday. Tuesday’s will have the final entries, post positions and odds. On Wednesday, I have no idea what we will have. But, certainly there will be some news to report about.

Now, on to our regularly scheduled Monday feature.

Stewards’ rulings

–Jockey Aaron Gryder is suspended four days (Oct. 26, 27, 31 and Nov. 1) for interference when he rode Fun Coupons in the fourth race on Oct. 18. Two of the three stewards concluded he had an inward drift after the start of the race. Steward Kim Sawyer thought Gryder’s horse squared up and did not enter another horse’s path. Fun Coupons finished second. It was Gryder’s second careless riding violation in the last 60 days. He can ride in designated races, which includes Breeders’ Cup races.

–Pari-mutuel clerk Charles Trigilio had his license suspended after he failed to show for a hearing before the stewards. He was arrested by Arcadia Police for embezzling $90,148 from Santa Anita and on June 19 he pled no contest to the charge of grand theft and was sentenced to 16 months in county jail. He did not appear for his hearing because he was in jail.

–Exercise rider Jorge Loza was fined $50 for galloping on the rail during training on Oct. 20. He accepted responsibility for his error.

–Owner Kenji Morinaga was suspended for failure to appear at a hearing about failure to pay a bill. The CHRB filed a complaint on behalf of Equine Medical Center, which claims that Morinaga, doing business as KM Racing Enterprise Inc., owes the company $18,211.97. As is standard with suspensions, Morinaga is barred from the premises.

–Trainer/exercise rider Leonard Powell was fined $50 for entering the track early during training on Oct. 20. The stewards called Powell’s rationale an “excuse” and “believed his reasons for his poor judgment were not valid enough to issue a warning.”

Jeff Siegel’s Breeders’ Cup previews

Jeff Siegel of XBTV is back with another of his video reports exclusively for the Los Angeles Times. In this one he reviews Elate’s prospects in the Classic and other horses that worked on Sunday. Just click here.

Santa Anita’s sixth fatality

Santa Anita suffered its sixth equine fatality this meeting when Bye Bye Beautiful broke down in the third race and was euthanized. The 2-year-old filly was trained by Eric Kruljac. For more on the situation just click here.

Santa Anita review

The $75,000 Comma To the Top Stakes, for horses going a mile on the dirt, proved to be exciting down the stretch even though there were only five horses. Midcourt ran a patient race and went four wide in the stretch and got up by a neck over Two Thirty Five.

Midcourt paid $15.60, $6.40 and $2.80. Leading Score finished third.

Here’s what the winning connections had to say.

John Shirreffs (winning trainer): “In the afternoon, he shows up. We think the further he goes, the better he’ll get. When this horse applies himself, he’s a really good horse. We’ll probably run next in the Native Diver at Del Mar [on Nov. 23.]”

Victor Espinoza (winning jockey): “He’s getting so good right now, he’s taking everything on his own and he does things so easily. Horses, when they get into that rhythm, it’s kind of hard to get beat. John Shirreffs has done an amazing job with this horse. He is not very easy to deal with in morning, but John is an expert with those kinds of horses.”

Howdy, I’m your host, Houston Mitchell. Let’s get right to the news.

RAMS

On a night when the Rams entertained an enthusiastic Wembley Stadium crowd by pulling off a double-reverse flea-flicker pass for a touchdown, they also had reason to celebrate.

Cooper Kupp amassed a career-best 220 yards receiving, Jared Goff passed for two touchdowns, Todd Gurley ran for a touchdown and the defense did not allow a point in the second half as the Rams defeated the Cincinnati Bengals, 24-10.

The Rams did not win a title. They did not even ensure they would make the playoffs. But their victory before a crowd of 83,720 improved their record to 5-3 heading into next week’s open date. And it positioned them at the season’s midpoint to remain a factor in the NFC West.

For a franchise coming off a Super Bowl appearance, that does not qualify as a major — or minor — milestone. But it is a far better position than what the Rams were staring at two weeks ago when they were mired in a three-game losing streak and watching the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks establish themselves as front-runners in the division.

The Rams defeated the Falcons in Atlanta, and then stayed over in Atlanta for three more days before traveling to London to play the winless Bengals.

“Put a lot of miles behind us and it’s only going to be better for us later down the road,” safety Marqui Christian said.

After losses against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Seahawks and 49ers, the Rams clearly benefited from games against the struggling Falcons and Bengals, who exited Sunday with a combined record of 1-15.

But Rams coach Sean McVay liked much of what he saw the last two weeks.

“We did a good job of responding from some adversity,” he said. “We’re where our record says we are, but we want to be able to look at ourselves and figure out what can we do to just consistently have good, clean performances.”

CHARGERS

The Chargers saw their flustering, maddening three-game losing streak suddenly end with a 17-16 victory when Chicago’s Eddy Pineiro missed a 41-yard field goal as time expired.

The win also halted a stretch in which the Chargers had dropped five one-score games in a row and came a week after they lost in Tennessee when two plays initially ruled as possible game-winning touchdowns in the final minute were reversed by replay.

“We just needed a win, any way,” quarterback Philip Rivers said. “35-0. 2-0. 3-2 or 17-16.”

Entering this game, the Chargers seemingly had sabotaged their season, going 2-5 largely because of a lack of execution made more significant by a seemingly unending parade of injuries.

But on Sunday, it was the Bears who turned the ball over twice in the fourth quarter, couldn’t make the most vital defensive stop when necessary and ultimately went down because their kicker couldn’t produce.

“At this point, I’ll take anything,” running back Austin Ekeler said. “We’ve been on the other end of that type of game. We’re taking anything in the ‘W’ column right now.”

LAKERS

Toward the end of the game, a glitch in the in-arena scoreboard at Staples Center caused the score to read Lakers 120, Hornets 10.

It wasn’t quite that bad for Charlotte, but a fourth-quarter deluge by the Lakers might have seemed that lopsided.

LeBron James pulled up to hit a three-pointer to give the Lakers a 19-point lead early in the fourth quarter. He ran back down the court with his hand still posed as it was when the ball left it. Then play stopped and he looked to the crowd, urging them to cheer louder.

The Hornets proved a pesky opponent for about three quarters of Sunday night’s game, then the Lakers asserted their dominance, winning 120-101 to improve to 2-1 this season. Anthony Davis scored 25 points in the first half, near-single-handedly keeping the Lakers in the game and led all scorers with 29 points. Davis, James and Dwight Howard all had double doubles. James scored 20 points with 12 assists and Howard scored 16 points with 10 rebounds.

WORLD SERIES

Scheduled Game 5 starter Max Scherzer had to sit and watch because of neck spasms as his Washington Nationals lost to the Houston Astros, 7-1, giving the Astros a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven World Series.

Scherzer’s replacement, Joe Ross, allowed a two-run home run to Yordan Alvarez, a former Dodger farmhand, in the second inning and another to Carlos Correa in the fourth. Those were the only runs he gave up in five innings, but Gerrit Cole’s performance rendered the effort insufficient.

Cole, an impending free agent from Orange County, suffocated the Nationals. He surrendered one run on three hits across seven innings. He struck out nine and walked two.

The Astros slammed the door shut with Yuli Gurriel’s RBI single in the eighth inning and George Springer’s two-run blast in the ninth.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Heading into an off date for both teams, LSU flip-flopped with Alabama to become the new No. 1 in the Associated Press college football poll. The Tigers received 1,476 points, two more than Alabama, for the closest margin between first and second since No. 1 Florida State was two points ahead of Auburn on Oct. 5, 2014.

No. 3 Ohio State was not far behind with 1,468 points. Eight points separating first from third is the fewest in the regular season since Dec. 3, 1979, when No. 1 Ohio State was 10 points ahead of No. 3 USC, with Oklahoma in between, two back of the Buckeyes.

Alabama received the most first-place votes this week with 21. LSU and Ohio State both got 17 first-place votes while No. 4 Clemson received seven.

KINGS

Dylan Strome had two goals and an assist to help the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Kings 5-1.

David Kampf and Drake Caggiula also scored to help the Blackhawks bounce back after they were shut out in Carolina on Saturday and managed just two goals in their previous three games.

Robin Lehner made 38 saves and lost a bid for his first shutout with Chicago when Sean Walker scored early in the third period.

Jack Campbell blocked 21 shots as Los Angeles lost its third consecutive game and second in two nights, after falling 5-1 at Minnesota on Saturday.

DUCKS

Nicolas Roy scored his first career NHL goal and the Vegas Golden Knights beat the Ducks 5-2 on Sunday night.

Roy, making his first appearance as a member of the Golden Knights, showed off his blazing speed when he split two Anaheim defenders and slipped a shot through Ducks goaltender John Gibson’s pads for what turned out to be the game-winning goal.

Vegas moved ahead of the Ducks and into sole possession of second place in the Pacific Division. The Golden Knights have 16 points, one point behind first-place Edmonton. The Ducks have 14 points.

HORSE RACING

Santa Anita, struggling to regain public confidence with safe racing during its fall meeting, had a sixth horse fatality at the track since Sept. 18 when Bye Bye Beautiful, a 2-year-old filly, broke down on the backstretch Sunday and was euthanized.

Bye Bye Beautiful was running in a six-furlong maiden special weight race when she suddenly seemed in distress and jockey Tiago Pereira pulled her up. It is the second fatality in three days and third since Oct. 19.

“After being pulled up past the 1/2-mile pole, Bye Bye Beautiful was immediately evaluated by a team of on-track veterinarians, led by Santa Anita Park veterinarian Dr. Dana Stead, and transported in the equine ambulance,” Santa Anita said in a statement. “Dr. Stead observed that the filly had suffered a right forelimb lateral condylar fracture with medial sesamoid involvement and, because of the severity of the injury, made the decision to humanely euthanize the horse.”

GOLF

Tiger Woods won the Zozo Championship in Japan to tie Sam Snead’s PGA Tour record of 82 victories.

Woods, 43, played the final seven holes Monday in the rain-hit tournament, completing a three-under-par 67 to beat local favorite Hideki Matsuyama by three strokes at Accordia Golf Narashino Country Club.

“It’s just crazy. It’s a lot,” Woods said. ”I’ve been able to be consistent most of my career. Today was one of those days where I was able to pull it out.”

Woods had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee two months ago — his fifth on the same problem joint. He was making his first start in his 23rd season on the PGA Tour.

“I can still manage my way around the golf course,” Woods said. ”I know how to play. I was able to do that this week.”

The Times’ MMA rankings for Octoberm as compiled by Todd Martin:

Heavyweight

1. Stipe Miocic

2. Francis Ngannou

3. Daniel Cormier

4. Curtis Blaydes

5. Junior Dos Santos

6. Alistair Overeem

7. Derrick Lewis

8. Alexander Volkov

9. Ryan Bader

10. Vitaly Minakov

Curtis Blaydes scored another UFC win when he went to town with punches and elbows on the ground against Shamil Abdurakhimov. Blaydes’ only career losses have been to the intimidating Francis Ngannou. Ryan Bader’s Bellator heavyweight title defense against Cheick Kongo didn’t go as planned. The bout was ruled a no contest when Kongo received an accidental eye poke.

Light Heavyweight

1. Jon Jones

2. Ryan Bader

3. Dominick Reyes

4. Thiago Santos

5. Anthony Smith

6. Corey Anderson

7. Glover Teixeira

8. Volkan Oezdemir

9. Johnny Walker

10. Phil Davis

Dominick Reyes picked up the biggest name victory of his career when he knocked out former UFC middleweight champion in under two minutes. Reyes wants a shot at Jon Jones but Jones seems to want an opponent with more star power next. Glover Teixeira is on the outside of the UFC title picture given he lost to Jon Jones before and he’s 39 years old, but he keeps winning against quality opposition. His split decision victory over Nikita Krylov was his third straight. All in all, it was an eventful month at 205 pounds with key fighters like Ovince St. Preux, Misha Cirkunov, Ion Cutelaba, Phil Davis and Vadim Nemkov all picking up wins.

Middleweight

1. Israel Adesanya

2. Robert Whittaker

3. Paulo Costa

4. Kelvin Gastelum

5. Yoel Romero

6. Gegard Mousasi

7. Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza

8. Rafael Lovato Jr.

9. Jared Cannonier

10. Jack Hermansson

Israel Adesanya captured the UFC middleweight title with a second round knockout of Robert Whittaker in Australia. Adesanya remains unbeaten in professional MMA and it appears he will take on knockout artist Paulo Costa next. Jared Cannonier cracks the top 10 after an upset win over Jack Hermansson. Cannonier is 3-0 since moving down from light heavyweight to middleweight. Gegard Mousasi scored a close decision victory in Bellator over former UFC champion Lyoto Machida.

Welterweight

1. Kamaru Usman

2. Colby Covington

3. Tyron Woodley

4. Jorge Masvidal

5. Douglas Lima

6. Leon Edwards

7. Stephen Thompson

8. Rory MacDonald

9. Santiago Ponzinibbio

10. Demian Maia

Douglas Lima regained the Bellator welterweight title and won their welterweight grand prix tournament when he bested Rory MacDonald by a wide unanimous decision. Lima has long been neglected the full credit he deserves as a fighter but that may have changed with this win. Demian Maia moves back into the top 10 after choking out Ben Askren with a rear naked choke. Askren has lost two straight after beginning his career 19-0.

Lightweight

1. Khabib Nurmagomedov

2. Tony Ferguson

3. Dustin Poirier

4. Justin Gaethje

5. Gregor Gillespie

6. Islam Makhachev

7. Donald Cerrone

8. Al Iaquinta

9. Paul Felder

10. Charles Oliveira

Khabib Nurmagomedov successfully defended the UFC lightweight title against Dustin Poirier, dominating Poirier on the ground and eventually submitting him. Next up is likely Tony Ferguson but right in line after Ferguson is Justin Gaethje, who scored a quick TKO victory over Donald Cerrone. Islam Makhachev continues to move up the rankings with his sixth straight UFC win while Paul Felder breaks into the top 10 with a split decision win over Edson Barboza.

Featherweight

1. Max Holloway

2. Alexander Volkanovski

3. Brian Ortega

4. Patricio “Pitbull” Freire

5. Jose Aldo

6. Zabit Magomedsharipov

7. Frankie Edgar

8. Josh Emmett

9. Calvin Kattar

10. Yair Rodriguez

Juan Archuleta was surging heading into his Bellator grand prix bout against Patricio Freire but Freire seemed unaffected by Archuleta’s recent dominance. Freire controlled pretty much the entirety of the fight and advances to the next round of the tournament. Yair Rodriguez moves back into the top 10 after defeating Jeremy Stephens in a grudge match in Boston. Meanwhile, A.J. McKee is close to cracking the top 10 as the top prospect in the sport knocked out Georgi Karakhanyan in a mere 8 seconds.

Bantamweight

1. Henry Cejudo

2. Marlon Moraes

3. Cory Sandhagen

4. Petr Yan

5. Raphael Assuncao

6. Aljamain Sterling

7. Jimmie Rivera

8. Cody Stamann

9. Pedro Munhoz

10. Bibiano Fernandes

Bibiano Fernandes moves back into the top 10 after ending his rivalry with Kevin Belingon by submitting Belingon in Tokyo for One Championship. There’s not much on tap at 135 pounds, with one of the few scheduled major bouts coming in December when Cody Stamann provides Song Yadong the toughest challenge of the young Chinese fighter’s career in Washington, DC.

Women’s Bantamweight

1. Amanda Nunes

2. Ketlen Vieira

3. Germaine de Randamie

4. Julianna Pena

5. Aspen Ladd

6. Raquel Pennington

7. Yana Kunitskaya

8. Holly Holm

9. Marion Reneau

10. Irene Aldana

Macy Chiasson appeared as if she was on the verge of big things at bantamweight when she ran into Lina Lansberg and Lansberg handed her the first loss of her young career. Irene Aldana moves into the top 10 after picking up a unanimous decision win over Vanessa Melo.

Women’s Flyweight

1. Valentina Shevchenko

2. Ilima-Lei Macfarlane

3. Katlyn Chookagian

4. Jennifer Maia

5. Joanne Calderwood

6. Andrea Lee

7. Jessica Eye

8. Liz Carmouche

9. Viviane Araujo

10. Vanessa Porto

Joanne Calderwood picked up the most significant win of the month in the women’s flyweight division when she beat Andrea Lee by split decision. The veterans in the division are jockeying for position with young stars like Maycee Barber making waves on their way up.

Women’s Strawweight

1. Weili Zhang

2. Joanna Jedrzejczyk

3. Jessica Andrade

4. Rose Namajunas

5. Tatiana Suarez

6. Nina Ansaroff

7. Claudia Gadelha

8. Carla Esparza

9. Michelle Waterson

It’s difficult to sort out 2 through 4 in the division as Joanna Jedrzejczyk lost to Rose Namajunas but beat Jessica Andrade while Namajunas beat Jedrzejczyk but lost to Andrade and Andrade beat Namajunas but lost to Jedrzejczyk. Jedrzejczyk gets the nod based on the overall strength of her resume. Carla Esparza was victorious by majority decision in Mexico over Alexa Grasso in a decision the locals did not approve of.

Diana Rodriguez, a second-year business major at Mount St. Mary’s University, was studying for her principles of management class when the lights flicked out for about a minute at 1:30 a.m. Monday. Five minutes later, she smelled smoke. But she had smelled smoke last week, drifting south from a blaze in Santa Clarita; surely whatever fire was burning now was similarly far away, she thought.

Then, around 2:30 a.m., resident assistants banged on the door of Rodriguez’s dorm. Everyone needed to gather their things and evacuate, they said.

Rodriguez grabbed her laptop, phone, camera and chargers, stuffed her backpack with snacks and water, and left her dorm in pajamas. The sky was blood red: “Really, really red and orange — pretty but a little freaky, too,” she recalled.

Ash floated in the air. Her eyes stung from the smoke of the Getty fire, which has burned more than 400 acres and several homes. The Brentwood hillside campus was not far from where the fire started off the 405 Freeway and was at one point surrounded by flames.

They put on masks and followed a road down the mountainside. Some students were griping about having to evacuate; others were laughing “either because they didn’t know what was happening or as a coping mechanism,” Rodriguez said. The students were picked up about halfway down the mountainside by ambulances, which ferried some students to the school’s Doheny campus and others, like Rodriguez, to an evacuation center in Westwood.

Sho Akiyama’s daughter woke him up around 3:40 a.m. From his apartment, which is near the corner of Sunset and Sepulveda boulevards, Akiyama could see the predawn sky flushed with orange. He took his family to an evacuation center in Westwood where, early Monday morning, he fretted about the fate of the Getty museum and the treasures it holds.

“I hope they’re trying to protect the Getty,” he said. “I hope they’ve got a lot of water on that.”

As the Getty fire was burning out of control early Monday, weather conditions were expected to worsen throughout the day.

Winds around 5 a.m. at Franklin Canyon Park east of the Sepulveda Pass were 10 mph, with gusts of up to 17 mph, with a relative humidity of 23%, which is relatively dry, forecasters said. But later in the morning, sustained winds from the northeast to the southwest could increase 20 to 30 mph, with gusts of up to 40 mph, National Weather Service meteorologist Lisa Phillips said.

It’s possible winds could reach up to 45 mph.

Even worse, minimum relative humidity could fall into the single digits, perhaps as low as 5%. Temperatures Monday are expected to top out in the upper 70s in the area.

“As we heat up, we’re not going to get any more moisture in the area. … It’s not going to get any more humidity,” Phillips said. “The winds are still going to be strong through the morning hours. Winds will likely start to decrease in the early afternoon.”

Fire weather conditions were fueled by a Santa Ana wind event — a weather phenomenon typical in Southern California during this time of year.

Santa Ana winds are caused when high-pressure desert air over Nevada and Utah seek a path through Southern California’s Transverse Ranges, which include the Santa Monica Mountains, to fill lower-pressure voids on the California coast.

As air falls in elevation toward sea level, the desert winds intensify; air is compressed and warmer winds are created. Santa Ana winds have identical meteorological counterparts called Diablo winds in the Bay Area, and the Jarbo Gap winds in the Sacramento Valley. A common name for all of them are downslope winds.

After fires are ignited, downslope winds have been responsible for the breathtakingly rapid spread of California’s most destructive wildfires. The three most destructive wildfires in modern California history — the Oakland-Berkeley hills fire in 1991, the Tubbs fire in wine country in 2017 and the Camp fire that destroyed the town of Paradise last year — were all spread by downslope wind events.

California’s fourth most destructive fire, the Cedar fire of San Diego in 2003, kindled for hours until a Santa Ana wind rolled in at midnight. By 3 a.m., the wind-driven fire had jumped a river and a reservoir and run nearly 17 miles. In that three-hour run, the fire spread an average of more than 19,600 acres an hour. Fifteen people were killed, and more than 2,800 structures were destroyed in that blaze.

The same high-pressure, low-pressure gradient last year set up a Santa Ana wind event that pushed the Woolsey fire into Malibu. Its pace in the first three hours was 21,290 acres an hour. The blaze destroyed more than 1,600 structures and caused three deaths.

In 2017, the Thomas fire — the 10th-most destructive fire in modern California history — began in Ventura County a day after a 14-day red flag warning event began. It exploded in growth more than a week after it started as it raced toward Montecito.

The explosive opening in the first episode of HBO’s “Watchmen,” with citizens of a black Tulsa, Okla., neighborhood being gunned down by white vigilantes, black businesses deliberately burned and even aerial attacks, has brought new attention to the nearly buried history of what the Oklahoma Historical Society calls “the single worst incident of racial violence in American history.”

Though it looked like something made up for the series inspired by Alan Moore’s original “Watchmen” stories for DC Comics, the Tulsa race massacre of 1921 was an all too real incident that decimated 35 city blocks, including the business district of Tulsa’s Greenwood community, which Booker T. Washington once called the “Black Wall Street of America.” The official death toll was 36, but more recent estimates say that as many as 300 may have been killed; 800 were treated for injuries and more than 6,000 black citizens were interned at the city’s convention hall and fairgrounds for up to eight days. A search for mass graves has been undertaken in recent years.

The incident began with an encounter between 19-year-old Dick Rowland, a black shoeshiner, and elevator operator Sarah Page, who by some accounts was as young as 15. For reasons that are still unknown, Page screamed when Rowland entered the elevator. Police were called and Rowland was arrested for attacking Page, though later accounts say Rowland may have simply tripped and fell onto Page. An inflammatory newspaper account stirred up the white community and crowds gathered outside the courthouse. With thoughts of protecting Rowland from lynching, members of the black community also appeared but were outnumbered and after fights broke out retreated to the city’s Greenwood neighborhood, where most black businesses and homes were located. The mob followed, and the massacre began in full force, aided by members of the Ku Klux Klan.

“Vigilantes … under the color of law, destroyed the Black Wall Street of America,” said former state Rep. Don Ross in the 2001 “Tulsa Race Riot: A Report by the Oklahoma Commission to Study the Race Riot of 1921.” “Some known victims were in unmarked graves in a city-owned cemetery and others were hauled off to unknown places in full view of the National Guard.

In the aftermath of the killings, attempts were made to cover up the events. Stories were removed from newspaper archives, and some official accounts were destroyed. It took decades for historians and Oklahoma officials to unearth the history and begin to teach it in schools. But the years of silence took a toll on the truth — and even on how to label the incident. Many, for instance, question whether to call the events a “riot” or “massacre.” “Designating it a riot prevented insurance companies from having to pay benefits to the people of Greenwood whose homes and businesses were destroyed,” said a report by the Tulsa Historical Society and Museum.

High school history teacher Seymour Williams, explaining why there was largely silence in the black community following the violence, told Ross: “Blacks lost everything. They were afraid it could happen again, and there was no way to tell the story. The two Negro newspapers were bombed. … [People] were too busy just trying to make it. … The killers were still running loose, and they’re wearing blue suits as well as Klan sheets.”

For more reading on the Tulsa race massacre:

The overdue state report: Many credit journalist-turned-politician Don Ross with bringing attention to the events of 1921. He wrote three Oklahoma Eagle columns in 1968 about the riot and in 1971 published an account of the violence in an issue of Impact magazine, where he was then the editor. “Both blacks and whites got on my case for causing trouble,” he told the Kansas City Star in 1999. “I had violated the conspiracy of silence going on for 50 years.”

Ross went on to become an Oklahoma state representative and was on the commission that in 2001, 80 years after the destruction of America’s “Black Wall Street,” produced “Tulsa Race Riot: A Report by the Oklahoma Commission to Study the Tulsa Race Riot of 1921.” It includes a discussion of the disputed death toll, the use of airplanes to drop bombs on civilians, and the still unresolved issue of reparations.

The nearly forgotten initial Red Cross report: The Tulsa Historical Society and Museum has a section of its website devoted to the Tulsa race massacre. Among its archives are audio recordings of survivors, photos and one of the first historical documents on the violence, a Red Cross report issued December 30, 1921, by Maurice Williams, the director of relief operations in the area of destruction. “Disaster Relief Report: Riot 1921″ begins with a clipping of the Tulsa Daily World article blaming the “battle between the races” on the arrest of shoeshiner Dick Rowland. Williams, however, writes, “The consensus of opinion, after six months intervening time, places the blame upon ‘the lack of law enforcement.’ ‘Race riot’ it has generally been termed, yet whites were killed and wounded by whites in the protection of white property against the violence of the white mob. The elements of ‘race rioting’ were present from all evidence … but the wholesale destruction of property, life and limb in that section of the city occupied by [blacks] … testifies to a one-sided battle.”

The eyewitness: “I could see planes circling in mid-air. They grew in number and hummed, darted and dipped low. I could hear something like hail falling upon the top of my office building. Down East Archer, I saw the old Mid-Way hotel on fire, burning from its top, and then another and another and another building began to burn from their top.” These are the words of Oklahoma lawyer Buck Colbert Franklin, from a 10-page typewritten manuscript that was discovered in 2015 and donated to the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Smithsonian magazine details the story and excerpts parts of the account: “The side-walks were literally covered with burning turpentine balls. I knew all too well where they came from, and I knew all too well why every burning building first caught from the top. I paused and waited for an opportune time to escape. ‘Where oh where is our splendid fire department with its half dozen stations?’ I asked myself. ‘Is the city in conspiracy with the mob?’”

There’s a reason the parable of the prodigal son deeply resonates with us, regardless of our relationship to the Bible.

It’s the story of a lost son who has squandered it all and returns home to be met with unconditional love instead of scorn.

By human nature, we are inspired by narratives of redemption. And there’s no public figure toying with redemption more than Kanye West.

The idea of restoring one’s self — in West’s case, that’s meant becoming a born-again Christian — is at the core of the artist’s new gospel-influenced album and accompanying IMAX film, “Jesus Is King.” The projects, released Friday, arrived after months of West traveling the country with his Sunday Service church revival, which followed, in whiplash fashion, his MAGA-hat-wearing embrace of President Trump and public rhetoric that seemed to apportion some blame on blacks for slavery.

“Jesus,” his ninth record, finds West rapping and singing profane-free lyrics about his newfound spirituality over soulful, immaculately produced hip-hop. He plans on touring the music immediately and has denounced the multi-platinum Grammy-winning work that made him the most influential rapper and producer of his generation.

For years, West — the son of a scholar and a former Black Panther and photojournalist turned pastoral counselor — was a powerful, pro-black artist. He famously declared that then-President George W. Bush didn’t “care about black people” after Hurricane Katrina. He criticized the music and fashion industries for their treatment of black creatives, blasted homophobia within hip-hop and disrupted Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards after she won over Beyoncé (nominated for her groundbreaking “Single Ladies” video).

His actions, messy as they were, always appeared in service of advocating for the betterment of his people, black people. And it fell in line with his music, which veered far away from gangster posturing in favor of thoughtful, relatable observations on family, sexuality, religion, education, prejudice and wealth.

“He had one of the best hip-hop runs of all time,” says veteran hip-hop journalist Keith Murphy. “Kanye comes from black intellectualism and black excellence. But you can’t go around wearing a MAGA hat saying it’s God’s practical joke. What he’s doing, mixing politics into religion, sounds like a combustible cocktail.”

West has never been far from the teachings of Christ. The gospel church and its songs of praise and worship — born from the bellies and lungs of enslaved Negros — have informed his work from the start. Beyond 2004’s jubilant, Grammy-winning “Jesus Walks,” records like “Spaceships,” “Touch the Sky,” “Amazing,” “The Glory” and “Ultralight Beam” show an artist consistently crafting rap hymnals.

His performances also transformed into grandiose houses of worship. On his Yeezus tour, he was presented as an apostle, with Jesus rising from atop a glowing pyramid; supporting “The Life of Pablo” album, he floated across arena floors, literally hovering above his loyal flock.

Since the release of 2013’s “Yeezus,” West’s work has increasingly hinted at a man who sees himself as a god among men, a feeling shared among critics and fans when he started holding Sunday Service at his Calabasas estate in January.

The invite-only gatherings were described by his wife, Kim Kardashian West, as a “musical ministry” and featured faith-based reworkings of West’s repertoire, plus spirited takes on R&B, soul and traditional gospel records.

“There’s no praying, there’s no sermon. There’s no word,” she told Jimmy Kimmel. “It’s just music, and it’s just a feeling.”

For those not on the guest lists, Sunday Service was experienced through Kardashian West’s Instagram account or from those in attendance unbound by NDAs, lending the affair a level of viral exposure that hasn’t always felt pure — particularly when taken with Kardashian West’s reduction of gospel as “just music.”

Sitting on a circular mound West had installed atop a nature preserve in the Santa Monica Mountains in the spring, I witnessed the glory of bodies deeply lost in praise as the performer and the Sunday Service choir prepped for their biggest showing yet, an appearance during April’s Coachella festival to celebrate Easter.

It was impossible not to be moved by the splendor of the choir joyfully singing reworked soul classics and traditional worship music, or later, by 50,000 fans swaying together as Teyana Taylor pushed her voice to its edges on Marvin Sapp’s “Never Would’ve Made It.” There was something striking in the earnestness of West huddled in a corner, away from center stage, dancing alone.

But that’s the beauty of gospel music and exactly why West’s commodification of it continues to be a thorn in the sides of African Americans who have found his behavior and his comments harmful. Aside from his comments on slavery echoing common revisionist Civil War history, he’s compared himself to Nat Turner, questioned why Harriet Tubman should be on the $20 bill (why not Michael Jordan, he asked) and said black people were too focused on racism.

This month in Queens, N.Y., some churchgoers walked out of a service after West descended upon its pulpit. At Howard University, one of the country’s historically black institutions, the rapper baffled the audience by advising, “If they throwing slave nets again, how about we don’t all stand in the same place.” A video of his guitarist’s confused reaction immediately went viral.

At the Forum in Inglewood on Thursday, fans slid their phones in magnetic pouches and filed into a nearly dark arena that had been transformed into a field — replete with tall, bristling vegetation and the sounds of crickets chirping — to hear “Jesus Is King” and see its complimentary IMAX documentary. Some onetime supporters expressed skepticism about his motivations.

“I found Sunday Service exploitative and opportunistic,” says Josh Briond, a West fan since his debut and cohost of the Millennials Are Killing Capitalism podcast. “It’s narcissistic, as everything is with Kanye: It’s about Kanye.”

“This is really for his followers. There is no spirit,” says Dominique Zonyeé, an L.A.-based marketing strategist who grew up in the church. “The message of God is not translating. They are praising a man who is embodying God. That’s not what the gospel is. It’s for worshiping the Lord, not a man.”

“Jesus Is King” has been met with largely tepid reviews. Critics have called the album lyrically lazy, not very good and undercooked. West knows how to craft bangers, and there are plenty on “Jesus Is King”: “Follow God” and “On God” fall in line with the heady foot-stompers he’s been making for years. The Sunday Service Choir’s jubilant performance on opener “Every Hour” is a highlight, as is West stretching his raspy voice on “God Is” and the reunion of the Clipse on the frosty, minimalist “Use This Gospel.” But “Jesus” doesn’t appear to say much beyond surface-level devotionals, and silly lyrics like “What if Eve made apple juice?” and “Closed on Sunday / You’re my Chick-fil-A” certainly don’t do any favors.

So, what are we to make of the new Kanye? The Kanye who says he’s spiritually reborn, yet espouses rhetoric that’s hurtful to the people who have followed him? The Kanye who wants to spread the word but appears to be in search of his purpose?

In a piece on the Christian hip-hop site Rapzilla, Elijah Matos wrote: “For the sake of argument, say that Kanye West’s ‘reawakening’ is an opportunistic business scheme, but maintains a strong faith-based tone with a push towards Christ. In this case, West would fall under those who are ‘not against you,’ and Christians would fall into the same category as the disciples. Although Yeezy may not fit the mold of a conventional Christian artist, using his talents to proclaim Christ, even if it is just for a moment in time, ‘Jesus Is King’ can be a vehicle for the advancement of the Gospel.”

What’s certain is that West’s spiritual journey — whatever it may be — isn’t for us to judge. That lies between him and his god. But if his awakening has shown us anything, it’s how far we are from the Kanye West we once believed we knew.
