The prolific offense of the Corona del Mar High football team produced a near-perfect performance when the Sea Kings needed it the most.

The result was a Southern Section championship and a measure of atonement.

Corona del Mar scored touchdowns on each of its first eight possessions and beat Simi Valley Grace Brethren 56-28 in the Southern Section Division 3 championship game Friday night at Newport Harbor High.

The Sea Kings had lost to the Lancers in last year’s Division 4 title game, but this time they denied Grace Brethren’s attempt for its third straight title. Grace Brethren also won Division 8 in 2017.

University of Washington-bound senior quarterback Ethan Garbers completed 23 of 30 passes for 294 yards and four touchdowns for the Sea Kings. Three of the touchdown passes went to Stanford-bound receiver John Humphreys, who had 11 catches for 144 yards.

Corona del Mar (14-0), which will play in a CIF State Southern California regional bowl game next week, also had four rushing touchdowns. Garbers had three of them for the third straight game.

The Sea Kings, appearing in their third championship game in four years, won their sixth Southern Section title and first since 2013.

Julien Stokes had three touchdowns for the Lancers (12-2), two rushing and one on a reception.

Corona del Mar went 67 yards in 11 plays on its opening drive for a touchdown. Garbers, who was six for six passing on the drive, ran it in on fourth-and-goal from the two-yard line.

Grace Brethren answered with its own methodical drive. On the second play of the second quarter, Josh Henderson powered it in on a one-yard touchdown run.

The Sea Kings added two more rushing touchdowns, a 52-yard burst by Riley Binn-quist and another two-yard run by Garbers, to take a 21-7 lead. But the Lancers responded as junior quarterback Mikey Zele, rolling right, found Stokes in the end zone for an eight-yard touchdown with 45 seconds left in the half.

Grace Brethren’s Dillon Walia recovered a pooch kick, but the Lancers were unable to score again, and Corona del Mar took a 21-14 lead into halftime.

Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as we spend a little more time talking about computer robotic wagering.

Rob Henie’s essay on CRW (computer robotic wagering) certainly got its share of reaction, most of it appreciative of learning about something you didn’t know about. But, there is still one misconception out there. Instant never means instant.

If you want the final odds when the gates open, you would have to stop the wagering somewhere between 45-60 seconds before the gates open. And, as you know, a gate load can be a tricky thing. Now, if you think the tracks would want to give up the last minute of wagering, well, you haven’t been paying attention.

The transmission of data is anything but instantaneous. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve been in the press room at the end of the game (with no view of the field of play, especially Lakers and Clippers) when you hear the roar of the crowd a good five seconds before you see it on television. Closed circuit broadcasts are closer to real time.

Think about it, if you gather information, be it data, picture or voice, it then has to go from the starting point, up to a satellite and then back down to earth, maybe to another point before it is transferred one more time to the end point.

Try pulling out your radio and watch TV at the same time. Guess what? They don’t sync up.

There is one more thing, sometimes the transmission is a push-and-pull system, like the email on your phone. You don’t automatically get emails but only when your phone checks the mail server.

Even think of this email, you all don’t get it at the same time. Some of you get it a couple minutes before others get it. Even I get several “out of office” messages before I even get the email myself. Servers can stack up and you wait in line. I would say the complete send of this email is eight-to-10 minutes. Remember, this is nothing more than data transmission.

Understand a large amount of the mutuel handle is not on track, so it has to be transmitted to the host track. Especially from the ADWs. So, when all this betting data is coming in at the same time, it’s no wonder the horses are on the far turn before you see the final odds. And there are some strong regulations in place that make sure all the wagers are in before the gates open. (At least that is what we believe happens the overwhelming number of times. Exceptions are incredibly rare.)

Now, I’m not saying this is good or this is bad. But what I am saying is this is the way it is. Tracks are trying to reduce the final tally time but it’s a lot of data. Those of you who complain it’s unfair, you’re right. It absolutely isn’t the way it should be. But, remember wagering is a choice, not something you are forced to do. If you don’t like the way things are, then find something else to bet on. But I don’t see the tracks giving up the final wagering time any time soon.

Horse racing is in an unprecedented era of transformation. Of all the things the sport cares about, I’m guessing odds changing after post time is not high on the list. Make your own choice.

Del Mar review

The feature on Friday’s turf-less card was a six-furlong allowance/optional claimer for horses running for a purse of $53,000. The track held up well after Thursday’s wet weather. In fact, the track sent out a news release in the morning saying it was going to run on Friday.

The winner of the feature was Royal Trump, who went off at 34-1, longest shot on the board. It was his sixth win in 21 starts. He runs for Mark Glatt and Edwin Maldonado was in the saddle. The winning margin was 2 ¾ lengths.

Royal Trump paid $71.00, $18.00 and $6.20. Truck Salesman was second and Candy Cornell finished third.

Del Mar preview

It’s a really good card on Saturday with 10 races starting at noon. There are four graded stakes. Let’s get right to them.

Grade 3 $100,000 Jimmy Durante Stakes: This race is for 2-year-old fillies going a mile on turf. The favorite, at 7-2, is the shipper Princesa Caroline for Chad Brown and Javier Castellano. She won her only start at Belmont in a maiden special by 5 ½ lengths. The second favorite, at 9-2 is Alms for Michael Stidham and Paco Lopez. She also won at Belmont, winning her first two starts, including the Grade 3 Matron. Post is round 12:30 p.m.

Grade 3 $100,000 Red Carpet Stakes: It’s a race for fillies and mares going 1 3/8 miles on the turf. Siberian Iris is the 5-2 morning-line favorite for Richard Mandella and Rafael Bejarano. She is three-of-18 lifetime. She won two back in an ungraded stakes at Del Mar. She was second in the Red Carpet last year.

Keeper Ofthe Stars is the second favorite at 3-1 for Jonathon Wong and Abel Cedillo. She has won five of 10 including her last two including the Grade 3 Autumn Miss at Santa Anita. She was fourth in the Del Mar Oaks. Post is around 1:30 p.m.

Grade 2 $200,000 Seabiscuit Handicap: This is a 1 1/16-mile race on the turf for horses 3 and older. This has another Brown shipper as the favorite. Sacred Life, at 5-2, is the favorite and will also have Castellano in the saddle. He is five-of-12 lifetime. This only his fourth race in the U.S. and first on the West Coast. He won an allowance last out at Keeneland and has finished second five of his last seven races.

River Boyne is the second favorite at 4-1 for Jeff Mullins and Flavien Prat. He was won seven-of-20 lifetime and last won on Dec. 26 in the Mathis Brothers Mile at Santa Anita. He has been running mostly in higher level graded stakes this year. Post is around 2:30 p.m.

Grade 1 $300,000 Hollywood Derby: This is the feature on the card for 3-year-olds going 1 1/8 miles on the turf. There are 13 starters listed. Neptune’s Storm, at 9-2, s the favorite for Richard Baltas and Cedillo. He has not finished out of the money this year in nine starts with four wins, two seconds and three thirds. She won a Grade 2 at Belmont two starts back.

Mo Forza is a tepid second favorite at 5-1 for Peter Miller and Lopez. In seven starts this year, he has won two, finished second three times and was third once. He won the Twilight Derby on the second day of the Breeders’ Cup at Santa Anita. Post is around 3:30 p.m.

Here are the field sizes, in order: 8, 13, 9, 8, 7, 9, 10, 13, 9, 12.

Bob Ike’s Dmr pick of the day

EIGHTH RACE: No. 1 Mo Forza (5-1)

Absolutely loved the way this improving colt from the Peter Miller barn won the Twilight Derby at Santa Anita, dominating his foes through the final 100 yards in his first start since breaking his maiden. He overcame the 11 post that day, draws the rail this time, clearly can run this far and has fired over the Del Mar course. Playing this one with extreme confidence.

Friday’s result: Top Brass was outrun early but never picked it up. Poor effort in a race that was won by the longest shot on the board.

SECOND RACE: No. 5 Cash Encounter (3-1)

He looms an elusive target in a pace-less field and had speed sharpened in last fourth-place 870-yard outing when fanned very wide into the stretch. Two of his main contenders, Towards The Light and Swiss Cheese, regressed in their last starts. In addition, Eduard Rojas Fernandez, who is Cash Encounter’s rider, has enjoyed good recent success with trainer Sergio Morfin.

LAKERS

Onward the Lakers marched Friday night, rolling to their 10th consecutive victory by stomping the Washington Wizards 125-103 at Staples Center.

Other than Kyle Kuzma slipping on the court toward the end of the third quarter and limping around before coming back to play some in the fourth, the Lakers had no scares in improving to an NBA-best 17-2.

Their best start in franchise history was 19-2 during the 1985-86 season, and the 2008-09 Lakers team started 17-2.

The Lakers pushed their record to 14-1 in November, their highest single-month win total since March 2000 (15-1).

“We made sure our guys respected this opponent,” Lakers coach Frank Vogel said. “They did respect this opponent. They played them with great intensity and focus and we were able to get a W.”

The Lakers got to rest Anthony Davis and LeBron James a lot after both had played heavy minutes during the just-completed four-game trip.

Davis played only 27 minutes, none in the fourth quarter, and still had 26 points and 13 rebounds.

James played just 24 minutes against the Wizards, none in the fourth, and also had a double-double with 23 points and 11 assists.

CLIPPERS

Returning to San Antonio for the second time since forcing his way out in 2018, Kawhi Leonard was jeered each time he touched the ball and never could quiet the crowd, needing 23 shots to score 19 points in a 107-97 Spurs victory.

“I didn’t make nothing of it,” Leonard said. “Felt like a normal away game.”

In so many respects, this was anything but normal compared with what the Clippers had come to expect from themselves during their seven-game winning streak.

Forward Paul George, an effortless scoring machine since debuting two weeks ago, made two of 11 field goals for five points. After scoring a layup in the game’s first minute, he missed his next nine shots over his next 29 minutes before adding a three-pointer late. His teammates couldn’t compensate, shooting 39% and attempting only 13 free throws.

“I didn’t really find a good rhythm,” George said. “Still just trying to figure out playing out there with my guys.”

Perhaps most surprisingly, after three fourth-quarter comebacks in the last eight days, the Clippers (14-6) could not summon another one against a San Antonio (7-13) team owning the NBA’s second-worst fourth-quarter net rating.

“They just got into us, took us off rhythm,” Clippers coach Doc Rivers said. “Unless we were just going to win in a defensive battle, I didn’t see [a comeback] coming.”

KINGS

Martin Jones made 33 saves and Noah Gregor scored his first career NHL goal in the Sharks’ 4-1 victory over the Kings on Friday.

Logan Couture, Patrick Marleau and Marc-Edouard Vlasic also scored for San Jose.

The Kings trailed 2-0 after the first period.

“The big message was the first 10 minutes of the game was going to be huge, but we came out on the wrong side of that,” defenseman Joakim Ryan said.

DUCKS

Connor Hellebuyck made 24 saves for his second shutout of the season, Neal Pionk had a power-play goal, and the Jets continued their torrid November with a 3-0 victory over the Ducks on Friday at Honda Center.

The Jets have won three straight and are 10-2-1 this month with one game to play.

USC BASKETBALL

Markus Howard scored 51 points as Marquette beat USC, 101-79 and advanced to play No. 5 Maryland in the championship game of the Orlando Invitational.

Isaiah Mobley had 15 points and nine rebounds for USC (6-2).

“We didn’t play well,” USC coach Andy Enfield said. “We really had trouble stopping Howard and what he did to our defense. But it’s one game, it’s one loss, so we have to bounce back mentally and physically.”

UCLA FOOTBALL

Chip Kelly doesn’t care what you think about his program, the one that has only seven wins during his two-year watch and couldn’t even fill seats when the school was giving tickets away for free.

“Perception isn’t what we’re worried about,” Kelly said. “We’re worried about the reality.”

The reality is that the Bruins, at 4-7 overall and 4-4 in Pac-12 Conference play, are guaranteed their fourth straight losing season, the program’s first such streak since the 1920s when the school was called the Southern Branch. Kelly’s seven wins in two years equal the number of total losses he had in four years as Oregon’s head coach.

The Bruins are left with Saturday’s season finale against California at the Rose Bowl as a last chance to leave a good impression for a disappointed fan base before yet another long offseason.

“The reason why we come out here and play is for the UCLA community,” long snapper Johnny Den Bleyker said, “so to go out there and win, go 5-7, have them feel a little bit more comfortable going into next year, I think that’s very important.”

CHARGERS

A Chargers season that has been more pessimistic than forecast can be adequately captured in one negative stat: minus-nine.

This team has turned the ball over 20 times en route to going 4-7 while generating only 11 takeaways, the fifth-fewest total in the NFL.

“You’re not going to win a lot of games in this league at minus-nine turnover ratio,” coach Anthony Lynn said. “Bottom line is we’re not taking it away enough and we’re turning it over too much.

“I love the effort and the energy the guys play with. But we’re killing ourselves.”

Quarterback Philip Rivers is responsible for 16 of those turnovers, seven of which have been interceptions in just the past two games.

Austin Ekeler has lost two fumbles and Melvin Gordon one, those miscues made worse in that each came at the opposition’s goal line. Three of Rivers’ interceptions have happened in the red zone.

“I think it’s guys trying to make plays,” Lynn said. “I mean, it’s not intentional. If I thought it was intentional, that would be a problem.”

RAMS

On the field, no receiver is immune from cornerback Jalen Ramsey’s verbal gamesmanship and sparring.

Larry Fitzgerald, a future Hall of Famer, will no doubt hear from Ramsey on Sunday when the Rams play a road game against the Arizona Cardinals.

But on Friday, Ramsey was noticeably respectful of Fitzgerald, a 16-year pro.

“He’s a legend,” Ramsey said.

Fitzgerald, an 11-time Pro Bowl selection, has 1,358 receptions and 16,872 yards receiving, second only to Hall of Famer Jerry Rice in both categories. Fitzgerald has 119 touchdown catches, which rank sixth all time.

This season, the 36-year old Fitzgerald remains a focal point. He has a team-best 55 catches for 593 yards and three touchdowns.

“Just looking forward to being out on the same field as him and go out and compete,” Ramsey said.

San Diego — 

Amid heavy rain, Border Patrol agents and firefighters rescued 20 people on Thanksgiving night who attempted to cross from Mexico into the San Diego region through a flooded network of drainage pipes.

Authorities also found one person dead along the mouth of the Tijuana River in Imperial Beach.

“The lifesaving efforts of these agents, who bravely risk their own lives to save others, makes me proud,” Douglas Harrison, chief patrol agent for the Border Patrol‘s San Diego sector, said in a statement. “Inclement weather conditions and perilous drainage pipe water flows significantly increase the odds of a grim outcome.”

A border agent on patrol caught three people attempting to illegally cross into the United States through a culvert about two miles west of the San Ysidro Port of Entry about 11 p.m. Thursday, according to officials.

The agent quickly learned that there were others lost in a maze of drainage pipes fast filling up because of rain, officials said. San Diego firefighters and lifeguards were dispatched to help with the rescue.

Hearing calls for help deep in the pipes, agents and the emergency rescue team located a woman and pulled her to safety, officials said. She told authorities that there were more people trapped.

Eventually, authorities opened a manhole to find 13 more border crossers, seven of whom were transported to a hospital, officials said. At least one person sustained life-threatening injuries.

Around 1 a.m. on Friday, agents heard another woman yelling for help in the same area, officials said. She was apprehended and transported to a hospital. Shortly after, two other people were found near the end of the culvert.

Of the 20 people rescued by authorities, 19 were from Mexico and one was from Guatemala.

Around 2:40 a.m., an agent found a person lying dead on the beach along the Tijuana Sloughs. The agent called the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, which took custody of the body. It’s unknown if the death is related to the other incident.

Smith writes for the San Diego Union-Tribune.

Just over a year after a mass shooting left 12 dead at Borderline Bar and Grill, the bar’s owners announced that they plan on reopening the Thousand Oaks establishment.

Owners Brian Hynes and Troy Hale made the announcement in a video posted Thursday on social media, adding that they have decided to open a new venue in Agoura Hills as they work on construction at the original location. They have not given any specific dates for the openings.

“It’s going to take a little while,” Hynes said. “We will work toward it the best we can.”

The new spot, called BL Dancehall & Saloon, will feature a custom dance floor, a game room and a stage for live performances.

“We’re just really excited to bring this back to you guys and have something we can actually call home now,” Hale said.

Borderline Bar and Grill was hosting line-dancing lessons for college students as young as 18 on Nov. 7, 2018, when a gunman opened fire. Crowds of young people, including parties for two women celebrating their 21st birthdays, were drinking and dancing when the crack of gunfire echoed through the room.

Several of those killed that night worked at the bar. Ventura County Sheriff’s Sgt. Ron Helus was also killed when he stormed the bar trying to stop the shooter, who took his own life.

A barn-like bar with live music and dancing, the Borderline is popular with college students and country music fans in Ventura County. The bar’s patrons also frequent the Stagecoach Festival in Indio, and some at the bar were also survivors of the mass shooting at the Route 91 Harvest festival in Las Vegas that left 59 dead. The bar has been closed since the shooting.

The new dance hall will serve food and drinks from the Borderline menu. The owners said that in the meantime, they will continue country nights at venues in Agoura Hills and Santa Clarita.

“We’re here for you like you’ve been here for us,” Hynes said.

Southern California residents on Friday continued to dig out from a storm that swept through the region on Thanksgiving day, bringing record rainfall to parts of the Los Angeles area and dumping snow on the mountains and high deserts.

“This is pretty unreal, especially for Southern California,” said Justin Kanton, spokesman for Big Bear Mountain Resort. About 48 inches of snow had fallen there by Friday morning, which was Bear Mountain’s opening day.

“I’d like to take credit and say that we planned it this way, but of course Mother Nature really holds all the strings when it comes to delivering the goods with snowfall,” Kanton said.

Across the region in Palmdale, which saw 4 to 5 inches of snow, the digging out process was made more difficult by the fact that the city’s public works crews don’t have many snowplows, Mayor Steve Hofbauer said.

“This amount of accumulation is not routine for us,” he said. “But we’ve got a lot of other road maintenance equipment that can be pressed into use, so pretty much anything with a shovel on it kind of became the defacto snow plows, and the guys did a great job.”

The storm “hit so hard, so heavy and so fast” on Thursday that an ambulance transporting a patient became stuck on the uphill road leading to Palmdale Regional Medical Center, he said. Public works crews had to plow a path to bring in a second ambulance, transfer the patient, clear a route to the hospital and then go back and dig out the first ambulance, he said.

By late Friday morning, the roads were clear and people were out enjoying the rare snowfall, with deputies and firefighters pausing their patrols to have snowball fights with children, Hofbauer said.

“I’ve never seen so many snowmen in my life. It’s the invasion of the snowmen,” he said, describing hills blanketed with snow while clouds floated above a dramatic San Gabriel mountains and Sierra Nevada backdrop. “It’s like a postcard right now — it’s just gorgeous.”

The precipitation was less welcome in some areas. Along skid row, the storm forced the Los Angeles Mission to move its annual Thanksgiving celebration inside and prompted staffers to make available extra showers, clothing and hot meals.

The shelter is prone to localized flooding because it sits at the intersection of multiple underground drainage pipes, which can become become clogged during rainstorms and cause material from the sewers to back up into the streets, Mission president Herb Smith said. In addition, he said, the shelter tends to see an uptick in people suffering from cold- and flu-type illnesses when the weather turns cold and wet.

“It definitely is challenging whenever we have rain,” he said.

The Union Rescue Mission received permission from the mayor’s office to use a new microfiber “sprung structure” as a warming area for 120 women for the first time on Wednesday. The heated waterproof tent will eventually serve as an overnight shelter, once it’s approved by the city, said Rev. Andy Bales, the mission’s chief executive.

“We are always over capacity, but when the storms hit, not only have we been over capacity, but we’ve been beyond,” he said. He estimated that the downtown shelter housed more than 1,250 men, women and children over the past few days, as people looked to escape the rain and cold.

“Rain in 50 degrees in Los Angeles can kill you,” he said. “Rain in 40 degrees virtually guarantees death by hypothermia.”

More rain and snow are on the way.

A storm is forecast to sweep in from the west in the next several days, supercharged by an atmospheric river of subtropical moisture — long plumes of water vapor that can pour over from the Pacific Ocean through California. As a result, there’s going to be a lot of precipitation associated with the system, but it’s still too early to pinpoint exactly where the blast of rain and snow will be funneled.

“It’s kind of like a fire hose, which is hard to control. Right now, we’re confident that there’s going to be rain, and a lot of it, on Saturday afternoon through Sunday. Where the heaviest precipitation is going to be is still uncertain,” said Carolina Walbrun, meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Monterey office.

NORTHERN AND CENTRAL CALIFORNIA

The storm is expected to move into Northern and Central California on Saturday and persist through the busy Sunday travel day as Thanksgiving travelers return home. It could then reach Southern California by Tuesday and Wednesday.

A high wind watch has been issued for many parts of coastal Northern California, and a flash flood warning has been issued for the Kincade burn area in Sonoma County.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

The atmospheric river could bring scattered showers to the Los Angeles area by Sunday, followed by a good soaking of rain on Tuesday and Wednesday, said Tom Fisher meteorologist with the weather service’s Oxnard office.

The region has already been hit by two storms this week. Thursday’s rain set a record for the day at Long Beach Airport, which saw 2.17 inches of rain. Anaheim, Newport Beach and Riverside also set records for the day.

A new storm fed by the first atmospheric river of the season is expected bring rain to Northern and Central California beginning Saturday, and cause significant travel delays and hazards for Thanksgiving travelers returning home on Sunday, the National Weather Service said.

Based on predictions of its water vapor transport capacity, this atmospheric river is classified as moderate to strong.

Rain from the system is expected to move south into the L.A. region on Tuesday and Wednesday as the atmospheric river weakens, said Lisa Phillips, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard.

After light rain in the late morning to around noon Saturday, rain will intensify in Northern California, with coastal mountain ranges around Big Sur and Santa Cruz forecast to be the wettest, receiving from 6 to 10 inches of precipitation. A flash flood watch is in effect for the area of the Kincade fire in Sonoma County, and high-wind warnings are in effect for the coasts of Sonoma, Marin, San Mateo and Monterey counties.

Driving this storm will be an upper-level low-pressure system dropping south from the Gulf of Alaska and setting up off the Pacific Northwest. Its circulation will pull in a plume of extremely moist air originating near the Hawaiian Islands, creating an atmospheric river.

As a result of its origin, this system will be warmer, causing snow levels to start out low — about 3,000 to 4,000 feet on Saturday on the west slope of the Sierra Nevada — then rise to 6,000 feet late Saturday and early Sunday. Snow levels will continue to rise to near or above pass levels Sunday night and Monday.

This atmospheric river thus qualifies as what is popularly known as a Pineapple Express. “All Pineapple Expresses are atmospheric rivers, but not all atmospheric rivers are Pineapple Expresses,” said Drew Peterson, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Monterey.

Atmospheric rivers are a concentrated stream of water vapor in the middle and lower levels of the atmosphere. They’re like a continuous conga line of moisture streaming across the ocean without interruption until they encounter an obstacle such as the coast ranges in California. These obstacles force the atmospheric river to start shedding its burden of moisture.

Some atmospheric rivers are weak and produce beneficial rain, and some are larger and more powerful, causing extreme rainfall, floods and mudslides.

On average, 30% to 50% of the West Coast’s annual precipitation comes from a few atmospheric rivers each year.

Atmospheric rivers are roughly 250 to 375 miles wide, and a strong one can transport as much as 7.5 times to 15 times the average amount of water that flows through the mouth of the Mississippi River.

When this atmospheric stream, bloated with moisture as it is, meets the coastal mountains, it is forced up and over the higher terrain. This is called orographic lift. The moist air plume cools as it gains altitude, and the moisture condenses, falling as rain.

Mountain slopes facing the ocean and into the rolling atmospheric river of moisture will receive the heaviest rain, while some areas such as San Jose and parts of the Salinas Valley will be in the rain shadow of these mountains and will receive less rain as a result.

The atmospheric river will continue on across the Central Valley and climb the western slope of the Sierra Nevada. These peaks are so high and give the atmospheric river such a workout that almost all the rest of the moisture is wrung out of it, leaving the mountains smothered in a blanket of snow and the Great Basin beyond parched in a gigantic rain shadow.

A look at the map shows that California’s deserts are a product of mountain ranges, including the Transverse Ranges in the south, that starve inland areas of a moist flow off the ocean.

The mountains serve as the state’s water bank under good conditions, and the snow gradually melts through the warm months, replenishing streams and reservoirs.

Unsettled weather will continue in Northern California for the remainder of next week as the atmospheric river weakens. Showers will linger until midweek and rain will spread south to the Los Angeles region. Yet another storm is on the horizon then, promising more rounds of wet, windy weather in the Bay Area late next week.

A member of a Los Angeles police gang unit was wounded Saturday night when his patrol team stopped a suspect in Boyle Heights.

Officers in the Hollenbeck division were on patrol when they approached a suspect at about 7:10 p.m. near Malabar and North Fickett streets. The man pulled out a weapon and fired on the officers, injuring one of them, police said.

The wounded officer, who was shot in the arm, was taken to a hospital. The suspect, who was not injured, was arrested and a gun was recovered at the scene, according to police.

No further details were available.

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — 

It is 1956. A queue of Mexican immigrants stands at a processing station in Texas, about to be admitted to the United States as part of the bracero guest worker program. They are naked, clothes in hand, waiting for a masked attendant to douse them with DDT, an insecticide whose use would be banned in the U.S. just 16 years later.

It was this scene of casual brutality that photographer Leonard Nadel captured on film in his documentary series devoted to migrant labor (and its many abuses) in the 1950s. In the caption he submitted with the picture, he notes that the men were treated by border authorities in “much the same manner and feeling used in handling livestock.”

The DDT shower was less a ritual of disease protection than a tool of humiliation.

Nadel’s indelible image serves as moving inspiration for a large-scale painting by Los Angeles artist Rafa Esparza that greets visitors to his solo installation at MASS MoCA, the contemporary art center in North Adams, Mass.

A thick slab of adobe serves as Esparza’s canvas. His image puts a tight focus on the workers. Their strong bodies, their bowed heads, brown skin blending into brown adobe as a white cloud of poison envelopes their faces.

Esparza’s installation, “staring at the sun,” on display through the end of the year, is one of two exhibitions at MASS MoCA that contend, in different ways, with the border and the ways in which it marks division but also generates resilience and symbioses.

One floor up and a building over is a survey of work by Tijuana artist Marcos Ramirez, who goes by the name “ERRE,” a show whose most visible component is a 120-foot corrugated metal sculpture titled “Of Fence,” from 2017, which evokes the rusty red look of the U.S.-Mexico border wall.

At one point, “Them and Us / Ellos y Nosotros,” as the show is titled, forces viewers to choose a path through the gallery — under signs titled “Us” and “Them.”

The two artists’ work could not be more different.

Esparza’s temple-like installation — in which he displays paintings on adobe in a gallery whose floor has also been covered in mud brick — is, to some degree, a meditation on material. Its brownness. Its earthiness. Its ephemerality. A material he uses as canvas to render portraits, not just of migrant workers but of friends and of family.

“Portraiture creates a legacy,” says the exhibition’s curator, Marco Antonio Flores. “The interesting thing is that for him to create portraits out of material that breaks and cracks, you think, what does that tell us about portraiture?”

ERRE’s show, which features an array of new and existing pieces, many produced throughout the artist’s career, reveals an artist deeply engaged in politics and policy — not to mention a mordant wit.

In a video titled “The Body of the Crime (The Black Suburban),” made in 2008, ERRE plays the victim of a cartel hit. He also plays policeman and forensic investigator. If he represents a society racked by violence at every level, he also represents that same society’s complicity. It’s a piece made more poignant by President Trump’s announcement this week that he wanted to designate the cartels terrorist groups.

Nearby sits a 2019 installation, “Orange Country,” which consists of orange prison jumpsuits in four sizes, including an infant’s onesie — an allusion to the continued detention of families and children at the U.S.-Mexico border. They serve as a stark, criminal justice counterpoint to Chris Burden’s oversized “L.A.P.D. Uniform” installation, in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

“ERRE is the perfect example of someone who lives with the border as a daily thing,” says MASS MoCA senior curator Susan Cross, “and not as a political abstraction.”

What unites Esparza and ERRE’s work is how they tackle the idea of the border as not simply a wall but as a punitive tool — the policies and procedures that are used to demonize and dehumanize. A DDT bath. A child in a cage.

As historian Greg Grandin notes in his recent book, “The End of the Myth: From the Frontier to the Border Wall in the Mind of America,” “The point isn’t to actually build ‘the wall’ but to constantly announce the building of the wall.”

On a more inspiring note, both exhibitions reveal the ways in which culture can circumvent any border put in its way.

One of Esparza’s paintings shows a figure pulling back a fence. Are they tearing it down or climbing over? It’s hard to say.

And his portraits of fellow artists — such as performance artist Sebastián Hernández and singer San Cha, both from L.A. — dwell not in victimhood but in graceful empowerment.

“These people are alive today,” says Flores, “and they are creating this artistic aesthetic legacy.”

One of ERRE’s best-known works is a two-headed wooden horse that rose to a height of 30 feet, which he installed at the Tijuana-San Ysidro border crossing in 1997.

“Toy-an Horse” had two legs planted in Mexico and two in the U.S., with one head facing north and the other to the south. It may have faced in different directions but its body was one. A political line may divide but the cultural body remains whole.

In the gallery, the piece is represented by a photomural showing the installation from the ’90s. But ERRE re-created the heads in wood, charred them and laid them on a bed of coal, in a yin-yang arrangement, in the middle of the gallery.

Together in life. Together in death. Like adobe, it will all one day crumble to dust.
