• Whicker: Paula Smith has a tough job, but UCI athletic director says it’s worth the wait

  11-07-2019 23:49
  
  IRVINE — On June 6, UC Irvine ended its “national search” for an athletic director.
  A rational search would have provided the same outcome in far less time.
  Paula Smith, the interim A.D. since Michael Izzi left UCI for CSUN 11 months earlier, dropped the adjective and got the job.
  Smith thus joined 39 other women in charge of athletic departments, at the place where Linda Dempsay was the first in Division I, back in 1977.
  She would laugh if you asked why she was overlooked.

  As much as the horse racing industry needs a good public relations firm to show the world American racing is not as evil as some would have you believe, Southern California needs a talented pitchman to extol its many virtues to the Breeders’ Cup board of directors.

  ANGELS FIRST-HALF REVIEW
  HOW THEY GOT HERE: Before the season began, the Angels figured to be around a .500 team, or perhaps a little better. So, arriving at the All-Star break with a 45-46 record is not a surprise. However, the way they’ve done it has been a little surprising. Aside from Mike Trout being Mike Trout, little has gone as expected. Free-agent pitchers Matt Harvey, Trevor Cahill and Cody Allen all underperformed, and Allen was released. Justin Upton and Andrelton Simmons spent

  The Angels (45-46) have been within two games of .500 for a month, as their middling pitching staff and injury-ravaged lineup have prevented them from the sort of extending winning streak needed to get back into contention.
  Then have a run differential of negative-3, which means their record is perfectly fitting for the way they’ve played. The offense, though, figures to improve, because Justin Upton, Shohei Ohtani and Andrelton Simmons all missed significant chunks of time, yet the Angels

  1. Check for ripeness
  Apricots, plums, peaches, nectarines, grapes and other summer fruits ripen fast in the heat. Check them every other day or so and harvest as they mature. Since they spoil quickly in hot weather, plan to do some canning, drying, freezing or juicing. It may be unpleasant work now, but the effort sure pays off when you open and enjoy it next winter.
