Justin Trudeau and Boris Johnson will be no-shows and Jeremy Corbyn is sending Emily Thornberry. All in all, the list of western leaders who won’t be attending Fidel Castro’s funeral is looking more notable than those who will. As with the tributes that poured in after the death of one of the world’s longest serving leaders, politicians across the world are split between praising Castro for his revolutionary zeal and excoriating his human rights record. François Hollande is sending Ségolène Royal, but Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras will be there, as will Gerry Adams, South African President Jacob Zuma and Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro. Putin, is apparently busy working on his end-of-year statement for Russian lawmakers – the diplomatic equivalent of washing his hair. But Castro is far from the only world statesman to have a tricky guest list at his funeral … Fidel Castro was one of the world’s most polarizing figures, lionized by some as a principled defender of the poor and loathed by others as a repressive dictator His divisive legacy can be seen in the guest list of foreign dignitaries attending memorial services for Castro in Havana this week. Many world leaders are notably absent. British Prime Minister Theresa May, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande declined to attend Cuba’s elaborate homage to Castro, who ruled the Caribbean island based on Marxist principles for nearly half a century — in part by jailing dissenters. Also missing was President Obama, who earlier this year met with Castro’s younger brother, Raul, in a historic trip to Cuba aimed at warming relations between the two countries. Obama sent two U.S. officials to the memorial instead. The list of foreign leaders who decided to attend the memorial in Havana’s Revolution Square speaks to the enduring influence of Castro’s revolution in many post-colonial countries in Latin America and Africa, especially those whose leaders lean toward the ideological left. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and Bolivian President Evo Morales paid their respects at the square Tuesday along with hundreds of thousands of Cuban mourners. “Cuba is going through a moment of profound shock,” Morales told reporters the evening before. Castro, he said, was “my brother.” South African President Jacob Zuma, Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto were among the other foreign leaders scheduled to attend. Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose country was a close Cuban ally during decades of Cold War, did not attend the memorial. Aides said he was preparing for a major speech. Some foreign leaders found themselves walking a thin line after Castro’s death on Friday. Continue on A3 By Kate Linthicum Contact Reporter World .... A2 Business .... A3 Features .... A4 Sports ....

Threatening letters sent to mosques aren’t hate crimes, authorities say, but they’re still searching for the authors Threatening letters sent to mosques aren’t hate crimes, authorities say, but they’re still searching for the authors Since election day, there have been reports in Califor- nia and across the country of hate crimes, ugly verbal confrontations and other incidents. The election was one of the most divisive in modern history, punctuated with issues over illegal immigration, Muslims and treatment of women. Despite numerous high-profile incidents, officials said they don’t know whether there are actually more hate crimes since the election or whether they are simply getting more attention. Law enforcement agencies are trying to get ahead of the problem. Some are launching task forces to quickly investigate hate allegations. San Francisco, for example, is sending undercover officers into neighborhoods to see if they become the victims of hate crimes. It’s similar to a program the department launched to reduce sport-re- lated violence by having undercover cops wearing rival team gear during playoffs. Other agencies are stepping up outreach efforts to encourage people to report hate crimes and incidents of bigotry that are likely protected by the 1st Amendment, but that officials still vowed to investigate. Principal on leave for alleged anti-Trump comments; student who voiced support for Trump attacked Principal on leave for alleged anti-Trump comments; student who voiced support for Trump attacked “In times of turmoil, in times of uncertainty, in times of strife, hate crimes increase. The fear of other is very, very strong in humanity,” Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck said. “This cannot stand. This cannot be something we allow as a people.” Over the last week, law enforcement agencies throughout California have launched a public awareness campaign hoping to deter the perpetrators of hate crimes and to remind victims that they should feel safe in re- porting such incidents to police. Authorities in Los Angeles and San Francisco are monitoring social media comments that might rise to the level of a criminal threat or serve as a precursor of a hate crime. San Francisco Dist. Atty. George Gascon said he hopes the efforts will not only deter criminal activity but also make those who fear being targeted feel safer. “There are several things that are very concerning. The fear level that has been impacting a lot of commu- nities … people are not going out into certain places,” Gascon said. “You’re seeing Muslim women afraid to wear their traditional garb.” Violence in Sacramento shows old and new faces of white extremism Violence in Sacramento shows old and new faces of white extremism Experts say hate crimes are generally considered underreported, in part because the victims either speak poor English or fear that interaction with law enforce- ment might spark questions about their immigration status. As a result, it’s difficult to get a clear sense of hate crime trends. But one thing is clear: Even before the presidential election cycle, hate crime reports were ris- ing both nationally and in California. Reported hate crimes throughout the U.S. rose 7% in 2015, according to the FBI. Incidents specifically target- ing Muslims grew the most, with 257 reported incidents last year compared with 154 the year before. In Cali- fornia, hate crime reports increased by 10.4% in 2015, according to the state attorney general’s office. Officials are quick to point out that there is a dif- ference between a hate crime and cruel or hurtful comments, many of which are protected under the 1st Amendment. The law makes it illegal to physically harm someone based on his or her race, religion, na- tional origin, gender or sexual orientation, among other characteristics. But Gascon and Beck also urged people to report incidents that might not be prosecutable but still might constitute racist or bigoted behavior. Police want to track those as well, and hope that by collecting informa- tion on racist behavior and speaking out against it, they can battle back what some call the “normalization” of hate. “This is a new world for law enforcement,” Beck said. “We have people that monitor social media partic- ularly in and around the things that we think may be re- lated to hate crimes, and then we make value judgments based on the law.” In September, the LAPD, the Rand Corp. and a group of British researchers announced plans to monitor millions of tweets related to the L.A. area in an effort to identify patterns and markers that prejudice-motivated violence is about to occur in real time. The researchers then will compare the data against records of reported violent acts. The academics said the program could help determine whether police can predict when and where hate crimes are likely to occur and deploy law enforcement resourc- es to prevent them. In New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo last week an- nounced the establishment of a special police unit to investigate hate crimes and established a hotline for potential victims to call. The Southern Poverty Law Center last week reported 701 incidents of harassment since Trump’s win, with most occurring in the first three days following the elec- tion. Of those, 206 incidents were anti-immigrant and 51 were anti-Muslim. There also were 27 reported anti-Trump incidents, according to the SPLC. Civil rights advocates say identifying perpetrators of hate crimes is difficult. “In general the majority of hate crimes are not perpetrated by card-carrying members of racist orga- nizations,” said Joanna Mendelson, an investigative researcher with the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism. “There are so many more incidents that are perpetrated by your juveniles, by your neighbor- hood bigots. But they’re not members of your National Socialist Movement or your local KKK.” Trump has disavowed support from prominent white supremacists, including former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke, though critics say his outspoken views have contributed to the tense political atmo- sphere. In an interview with “60 Minutes” given days after the election, Trump also said he was “saddened” by reports of increased bias attacks. “And I say, ‘Stop it.’ … I will say right to the camer- as: ‘Stop it,’” Trump said. Some experts on extremism hope Trump will do more. “We would like to see a speech addressing this spe- cifically, not just saying the words ‘Stop it,’” said Brian Levin, executive director of the Cal State San Bernardi- no Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism. Aside from a call for unity from Trump, other ac- tivists called for greater outreach from local police. Hussam Ayloush, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in the greater Los Angeles area, said he would like to see police and prosecutors visiting local mosques and schools in an effort to as- suage fears. Ayloush said many of the incidents reported to CAIR after the election involved harassment rather than vio- lence. Muslims in Los Angeles, Riverside and Orange counties have reported at least 15 incidents to CAIR, saying they were screamed at for wearing religious garb in public or received anti-Islamic slurs in recent weeks, according to Ayloush. One Muslim college professor walked into class and found a note on his desk that read, “this is not your country, this is Trump’s country,” Ayloush said. Over the last few days, at least four mosques around California received copies of a handwritten letter ad- dressed to “the children of Satan” that called Muslims a “vile and filthy people.” “Your day of reckoning has arrived,” the letter states, according to CAIR. “There’s a new sheriff in town — President Donald Trump. He’s going to cleanse America and make it shine again. And, he’s going to start with you Muslims.” “There’s a lot of concern today,” Ayloush said. “When I visit people at mosques, people are worried, especially people who are visibly Muslim.” Law enforcement officials and Muslim leaders will discuss the letters during a news conference Monday at the Islamic Center of Southern California.

Clendenin / Los Angeles Times dana point daily A La CarteFriday, November 25,2016 www.DPdaily.com Section E Why a fine dining chef gave up a restaurant career for marijuana-plant-to-table cuisine From Caviar to Cannabis “I remember the first time I smoked OG Kush,” chef Holden Jagger says. “I thought it tasted like Mexican food.” The 32-year-old chef is prepping for a dinner party, perched over the stove browning pears in a cast iron pan slick with duck fat. It’s a familiar task for Jagger, who spent six years — under the name Holden Burkons; he now uses his middle name, Jagger, as his last — working pastry stations under chef Tom Colicchio at Craft and Curtis Stone at Maude, as well as a long stint at Soho House, the members-only celebrity haunt on Sunset Boulevard. The smell of marijuana lingers in the kitchen, left over from cold-smoking shallots with a cannabis variety called In the Pines, which the chef cultivates in his garden partly for its strong notes of citrus, apple and, yes, pine. The shallots are destined for dinner’s first course of caviar with smoked crème fraîche and pumpernickel shards, and the caramelized pears on the stove will find their way into a cheese course where tiny nuggets of burrata are dressed with a single pickled marijuana leaf that has been salt curing in his pantry since August. At this marijuana dinner, it’s not the food that will get you stoned. When cannabis appears in a dish, it’s intend- ed solely for flavor, aromatics — and sometimes theater. When those artfully tweezered bites of burrata and pear hit the table, they arrive under a glass dome filled with cannabis smoke. Continue on E3 BY GILLIAN FERGUSON STAFF WRITER Jay L.
