Items from the Vacaville landmark Nut Tree are on display in the Vacaville Museum’s new exhibit.

Roaring back

Vacaville Museum revives Nut Tree history Amy Maginnis-Honey

AMAGINNIS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

VACAVILLE — Babe Ruth was still at bat. The first dishwasher surfaced. And the Nut Tree was born. The Power family started a roadside fruit stand in July 1921 that would become one of California’s favorite road stops and put Solano County on the map for travelers all over the country. Luminaries such as President Ronald Reagan, President Richard Nixon, Queen Elizabeth, Bing Crosby and even Bozo the Clown made the Nut Tree part of their holiday plans. Vacaville Museum Curator Heidi Casebolt began two years ago with planning the exhibit to honor the landmark. “Nut Tree Centennial: 100 Years of Food, Family and Fun,” has more than 1,000 artifacts. The Nut Tree had a significant impact on the culture and economic development of Solano County, and on the entire state. It was at one point the third-largest employer in Solano County. Nut Tree stories have come in from around the country, and from Canada, too. “I spoke to a young woman from Texas whose fiancé is Vacaville born and shared his Nut Tree memorial. She called to buy a Nut Tree cookbook to surprise him with a Nut Tree meal for his birthday,” said Joanie Erickson, executive director of the museum. Casebolt and Erickson got several clues into the Nut Tree while prepar-

The Vacaville Museum’s new exhibit celebrates the centennial of the Nut Tree. Pictured at right are some of the original place settings and chairs from the restaurant. ing the exhibit. “I learned about how far back with the Power family the branding idea went – before Don Birrell – they just didn’t call it that,” Casebolt said. “Design was a major consideration from their early days, and they wanted a visit to the Nut Tree to be both comforting and unique.” Birrell was the Nut Tree’s design director from 1950 until his retirement in 1990. He died in 2006. The Nut Tree was the launching place for many now-famous Northern California artists and designers. Artists such as Wayne Thiebaud and midcentury modern furniture designers Ray and Charles Eames sold their work at the Nut Tree store. Casebolt also noted how nimble the Nut Tree staff was and quickly related to trends. When the Nut Tree opened, the

drive between the Bay Area and Sacramento could top four hours, and car air conditioning was years away. Drivers were looking for a longer stop to cool off and relax before continuing their journey. Later, as cars and roads improved, many travelers wanted a quicker stop, and the Coffee Tree was designed to get customers back on the road in about 30 minutes. Nut Tree served fresh food grown on the family’s property and imported pineapple from Hawaii, which was quite the extravagance in the 1960s and 1970s. Other food innovations, such as the mixing of hot and cold foods on the same plate, and a focus on presentation were the roots of what is now known as California cuisine.

Catalytic converter thefts spike in California Los Angeles Times Terrence McNally didn’t notice anything unusual when he got into his Toyota Prius one morning last December. Then he started the engine. “It sounded like I had a Harley-Davidson in the back seat,” said the 72-year-old Long Beach resident. McNally was among a growing number of victims of stolen cata-

lytic converters. Every car comes equipped with the device, which is made with precious metals that transform the vehicle’s toxic emissions into harmless vapors like carbon dioxide. The parts have become an unusual windfall for thieves, who can make hundreds of dollars selling them to auto parts suppliers or scrapyards. Catalytic converters can See Thefts, Page A8

Los Angeles’ federal deals give leniency to polluters Los Angeles Times In 2015, federal prosecutors in Los Angeles made a deal with the CEO of one of Southern California’s most dangerous industrial facilities, a battery recycling plant that had contaminated thousands of nearby homes with lead dust. Exide Technologies agreed to demolish its plant in Vernon and pay $50 million to cover the costs of decontaminating the site and cleaning up the mainly workingclass Latino enclaves it had polluted. In return, prosecutors spared the company and its executives from

Review reveals complicated results criminal charges. Neighbors cheered the plant’s closure. But five years later, Exide declared bankruptcy and a federal judge allowed it to abandon the contaminated facility. The building still stands today. The cleanup is unfinished and being financed by California taxpayers. Prosecutors and state environmental regulators disagree over whether the company violated its deal, but the dispute is academic – there’s no company left to prosecute. Federal prosecutors’

deal with Exide was so remarkable that an EPA official hopped on a plane to California to try to stop it. Agreements not to charge companies that promise to make amends are rare in the world of environmental crime, where prosecutors who can’t make a persuasive criminal case can pursue corporate polluters in civil court. But in Los Angeles – where prosecutors cover a region of heavy industry hubs, the nation’s busiest port complex and historically harmful levels of air

pollution – the Exide case was not an outlier. According to a Los Angeles Times review of environmental criminal cases brought by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California, prosecutors there have made more such deals with corporations accused of violating environmental laws than in any of the 93 other such offices in the country.

I didn’t say it was necessarily an original conspiracy theory. Backwards roll: When I was in second grade at Camp Allen Elementary School in Norfolk, Virginia, we had a class, similar to gymnastics, that was called tumbling for P.E. They had different mats for different skill levels. The first was a forward roll and once you mastered that, you moved to the second mat and learned a backwards roll. It went on until you reached the last mat where you got a running start and did elaborate flips and twists and the like. Well, I never got past the second mat. In my memory, I was stuck there for months trying not to veer off the mat sideways with my legs sprawling every which

When I finally mastered it, I would make a video, shoot it to my former elementary school and demand a Second Mat Diploma or something. Learn a foreign language: My sole reason for learning a foreign language would be so I could replace the cuss words I no longer use when driving with something more satisfying than “Dadburn it!” I am thinking Klingon cuss words have to be pretty sarcastically vulgar and yet satisfying as they roll off the tongue. Superhero experiments: While I have re-watched some of the wonderful films that make up the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I’m beating myself up for not doing research on how to become a real-life superhero. I mean, how hard could it be? I know many of the fictional ones’ origins. Radioactive spider bite + Peter Parker = Spider-Man. Cosmic rays + Reed Richards, Sue Richards, Johnny Storm and Ben

Grimm = The Fantastic Four. Gamma radiation + Bruce Banner = the Hulk. The thing is, in real life the following equation is usually more accurate: Radiation + hopeful superhero wannabe = dead superhero wannabe. Solving mysteries: You know what I really should have done during this time? Tried to solve some of life’s seemingly unsolvable mysteries. This could include, but not be limited to: n Finally figuring out how to set the time on the front of a VCR and make it stop blinking. n Get to the bottom of why some inexplicably pick Ginger over Mary Ann. n Discover why women think we are thinking about them or our relationship when we are quiet, instead of the truth, which is wondering why Luke Skywalker’s robotic hand disappeared with him at the end of “The Last Jedi.” Reach Fairfield writer Tony Wade at toeknee weighed@gmail.com.

A Texas grandpa escaped cold at a hotel his family called the ‘Waldorf Astoria’

bright spot

Then an actual Waldorf Astoria found it on social media like the Waldorf.” The nickname stuck – and so did a sign the family made for their hotel room door that said “Waldorf Astoria” and “Welcome.” They referred to the hotel that way – though it was a decidedly non-luxury property – until they checked out several days later. “They had heat, and that was all they were selling,” Glenn said during a follow-up segment. What Ezell didn’t know was that an actual Waldorf Astoria hotel in Italy had noticed his granddaughter’s coverage and messaged her on Instagram with an offer. The Rome Cavalieri, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel wrote that when travel was safe again, he had an invitation to stay. “We need more of his attitude in the world to get through these tough times and would love to see him smile some more,” the message said. In a statement, general manager Alessandro Cabella said the invitation came from the hotel’s marketing team. “When we saw Ms. Holley’s segment about her grandfather, we were taken by his humor and positive spirit during the extremely challenging times in Texas,” Cabella said. “We would be honored to welcome him back to Rome and look forward to his good cheer

The Washington Post When temperatures plunged during a deadly winter storm in Texas last month, Ezell Holley was one of millions to lose power. The 91-year-old from North Dallas joined his son and daughter-in-law at their nearby Irving home, also powerless, and they huddled near a fireplace for warmth. His granddaughter Alex Holley, co-host of the morning news show “Good Day Philadelphia,” chronicled the ordeal on social media from afar, sharing pictures of him bundled up inside and eating an ice cream bar in front of the fire. Then she shared an update with her more than 300,000 followers on Twitter and Instagram that she was able to find them a hotel in Texas. As Alex detailed in a series of posts and in a news segment, the family joked that she had found them the best hotel money could buy: a Waldorf Astoria. It was a term Ezell had used frequently to represent a high standard, his son Glenn Holley said in an interview, though he had never stayed in one. “Well, Grandpa, if you close your eyes really tight, maybe it’ll seem like the Waldorf,” Alex told him in a video call. “Because at least you have heat, and at this point that might feel

lighting up our hotel.” Alex broke the news as part of a news feature following up with her grandfather on Feb. 24. “I never dreamed that I might spend a night in a place like that,” Ezell told her. As an Army soldier stationed in Germany in 1957, he had visited Rome and thrown coins in the Trevi Fountain. As legend goes, throwing a coin in the fountain means you will come back. “I was wondering if I’d ever return,” he said. Glenn said his father had talked about going back to Rome for decades; they were planning a trip to surprise him when the pandemic hit. “Of course, it went to the bottom of the pile,” he said. “The Waldorf has restored his vigor.” The luxury hotel brand, part of Hilton’s portfolio, offered Holley another three nights at any other Waldorf property around the world and said it would pay for the roundtrip flight to Rome for him and a guest. He hasn’t yet said who will be his plus one; his granddaughter joked that family members are campaigning. “I’d like to go as soon as possible, probably as soon as the pandemic is over,” Ezell said in an interview. “I would like it to be the first thing on the agenda.” In the meantime, the

Cow cuddling has become a thing week for lonely hearts in the pandemic ahead The

Local gov’ts post meeting details

The Washington Post Renee Behinfar lives alone in Scottsdale, Ariz. The pandemic has been painfully isolating for her and has left her longing for warmth and touch. On a recent afternoon, she finally was smothered in long-awaited hugs – by a 2,000-pound cow. “It was really my first real hug of the year,” said Behinfar, 43, a psychologist who sought out bovine comfort with a friend. People are signing up to hug cows at sanctuaries across the country, many desperate for affection as the nation approaches a full year of social distancing during the pandemic. When Sammy the cow, who was rescued from a dairy farm, laid her head in Behinfar’s lap and fell asleep, Behinfar began to cry. The pandemic, she said, has been a time of unprecedented loneliness. “In the end, I really didn’t want to let her go,” Behinfar said. Behinfar brought a friend with her to Aimee’s Farm Animal Sanctuary in Queen Creek, Ariz., near Phoenix, to cuddle cows as a birthday present for the friend. The farm has about 100 rescued farm animals, many with disabilities. Cow-cuddling sessions, which cost $75 an hour, are booked until July. Owner Aimee Takaha says she gets around 20 calls a day about the service she has offered for five years. Business has picked up dramatically in the past year. “They’re just like happy pills, just to be around,” she said of the cows. The nine cattle at her farm include Adorabull, an Angus steer (a castrated male) rescued from a ditch; Moonicorn, who has one eye and one horn; and a miniature cow named Moochacha.

How do you fill school yearbook in a pandemic? Get creative Tribune Content Agency TAMPA, Fla. — Kyla Hoffbauer sat at home, quarantined from school, contemplating how she and her Freedom High yearbook team would meet deadline. Their spread on the senior class president was due to the publisher soon. “We went to take a picture, and she’s gone,” student life editor Becca Hoffbauer told her twin sister, who serves as editor-in-chief of The Glory, in a Zoom call from Freedom’s New Tampa campus. The class president was quarantined, too, for two weeks. The pages would have to wait. Such twists have become routine for yearbook staffs this school year. Because of the pandemic, they’ve faced canceled activities, absent classmates, limited access and more as they’ve attempted to pull together publications that reflect a school year like no other. Their goal: to create something that shows the influence of the coronavirus, without letting it become the whole story. “It’s definitely a year to remember,” said Lena Conway, editor-in-chief of the Warrior at Seminole High in mid-Pinellas County. “People are going to look back on this year. They’re not going to see just the bad, but also the good.” Last spring, yearbook kids didn’t have problems gathering material. By the time the coronavirus forced classes online for the final quarter, everything had already gone to the publishers. “All we had to do was add a supplement” to describe those weeks of distance learning, Conway recalled. “This year, it was different.” The pandemic changed everything. Group pictures, a yearbook staple, are no longer a given. “We can’t really have those because of Covid restrictions,” said Kole Kemple, people editor

From left, Mitchell High yearbook editors Cate Miller, Jillian Misemer and Sophia Henges work on page layouts for “Stampede.” for Mitchell High’s Stampede, who has done his work amid four separate, two-week quarantines. “We normally like to capture that sense of unity in the student body.” That’s not easy to do with masks and social distancing. At Mitchell, the administration frowned upon approaching students in the hallways to ask for comments to accompany photos and stories, co-editor-in-chief Jillian Misemer said. “It’s a little bit of a struggle,” she said. At some schools, teachers wouldn’t welcome yearbook staff into classrooms. Many sports activities – especially in the fall – were closed to spectators, including students trying to document events for the yearbook. Pep rallies didn’t happen. Music and drama performances were called off. Clubs barely met. Those annual elementary school visits to campus, which usually provide cute pictures and quotes, didn’t materialize. “We just can’t cover it at that point,” noted Cambell Brown, Freedom’s sports editor. What’s left? More spreads about individuals and what they do outside school, for one thing.

“Last week, we did a story on a student who collects blankets for the less fortunate,” said Tori Foltz, editor of Seminole High’s newspaper, who has produced several stories for the yearbook. That angle requires students to share contact information. Those taking classes remotely could be particularly hard to find. But the yearbook staffers wanted to include as many students as possible, regardless of where they sat. Susan McNulty, the faculty sponsor for Mitchell High’s yearbook, said only about a quarter of students in the Trinity school provided social media handles and email addresses. That didn’t stop her staff from reaching out through classroom chats and other activities. And some things did take place, albeit in different formats. Freedom High’s homecoming, for instance, lacked a game and a dance. But spirit week still happened, a court got named, and a movie on the lawn drew students for a socially distanced celebration. That all made for a nice, but smaller, set of photos than the usual homecoming. The upshot was a chance to reimagine the yearbook, which

Cuddling From Page A3 The bovines will amble over to guests for hugs and cuddles, she said. They also like to roll over on their sides and rest their heads in people’s laps. Sometimes, a turkey named Azalea or a chicken will come by to join in. Participants often become emotional, she said, and some even vow to become vegetarian after looking deep into the creatures’ large brown eyes. The bovines helped Jeannie Whalen cope with grief after losing her husband, Walter, in May. She credits Moothias and other animals at Aimee’s for comforting her. “It brings a smile to my face and just a wonderful sense of awe,” said Whalen, 76. Cow cuddling is also popular in the Netherlands, where it is called “koe knuffelen.” Suzanne Vullers, who is originally from the Netherlands, offers cowcuddling sessions at her 33-acre Mountain Horse Farm in Naples, N.Y., a service available to guests of the bed-and-breakfast for about three years. She and her husband, Rudi, offer hour-long sessions several days a week from May through October for $75. They book up quickly; a few weekends in May are already booked solid. Vullers said it’s a particular draw for city dwellers who have been cooped up and are seeking to immerse themselves in nature to de-stress. “Spending time with large animals like cows, it’s one of the ways that you can do that,” she said. She added that the cows also enjoy the hugs. “You cannot hug your friends, you cannot hug your grandkids. At this point, we still have to be careful,” she said. “But

The cows are safe, . . . and they like that interaction as well.” Visitors cuddle with the farm’s two cows, Bella and Bonnie, who are halfScottish Highland and half-Angus. They also can spend time with the farm’s six horses. In Hawaii, James Higgins runs the Krishna Cow Sanctuary on more than 40 acres of land on the Big Island with 67 cattle, including female cows, calves, bulls and steers. He started offering $75 cuddling sessions about three years ago, and guests can even book through Airbnb. Once in the sanctuary, three cows – Uma, Tulsi and Devi – eagerly come trotting at Higgins’s call, he said. When Higgins lies down, the cows typically do, too, he added. Then, the visitors lie down with the cows and snuggle up to them, scratching the inside of their fuzzy ears and under their necks. “The people seem to love it, and the cows seem to love it,” said Higgins, 30. Cuddling with these gentle giants – cows typically weigh about

1,500 to 2,000 pounds – has an “extremely soothing effect,” he said. In India and within Hinduism, cows have been revered for thousands of years, Higgins said. He said his Hare Krishna faith, a branch of Hinduism, motivates him to care for and protect cows. He said he often bonds with his guests, who are also in awe of the cow. “It’s always an amazing experience,” he said. “I feel like I’m best friends with the people afterwards.” Deirdre Roney, a lawyer who lives in the Los Angeles area and has a second home in Hawaii, went with her animal-loving daughter, Camille Cadarette, 26, to a cow-cuddling session at the Krishna sanctuary. Cadarette was enchanted, she said, and Roney learned a lot about cows. “They’re very big,” said Roney, 58. “There’s an intimidation factor there, but at the same time, . . . it was a letting-go kind of experience.” She said any fears she had evaporated once she got up close and petted a cow, then hugged it. “It’s just really sweet and peaceful,” she said.

for these three schools will be dozens of pages smaller than in previous years. Mitchell’s Stampede staff said they used the opportunity to shed some “superficial” themes, as Misemer put it, and pay more attention to substantial issues that students faced. At Seminole, the Warrior team dropped its previous thematic approach, which centered on pages for groups, activities and classes. They turned to a chronological format and looked to create something more like a large magazine, filled with full stories, bigger photos and bolder colors. That fostered a closer relationship between the newspaper and yearbook. “I had the freedom to be more creative,” editor-inchief Conway said. Most schools have to get final work to the publishers right around spring break in midMarch. That gives them time to add late events – the Hillsborough school district recently gave permission for music and drama performances to occur, so Freedom’s Glory staff anticipated shooting photos right up to the moment they hit send. “It’s definitely been a bit hectic, a bit more so this year,” Kyla Hoffbauer said. Anything to make the content as inclusive as possible, said her sister, Becca. “Our book isn’t about corona,” she said. “It’s about Freedom during this time.” Despite the hurdles, the students stressed how happy they were to provide insights into a year that still was better than many others across the nation have endured. “We’ve been fortunate this year to have a more normal school than other schools, definitely other students,” said Sophia Henges, Mitchell High’s co-editor-in-chief. “We’re lucky that we get to see each other every day, face to face.”

xtraordinary. That’s the only word that describes today’s American political world. Extraordinary, not normal. There’s nothing ordinary about what our political right is doing. Nothing. History is crashing into the present right before our eyes. The ghost of Jim Crow is returning. Racism reigns again with our nation’s conservative leaders. The Republicans lost the Senate with the election of two Democrats in Georgia. The horror that always lurked on the horizon for the Republicans has finally come: demographics. The percentage of white voters Jack Batson is shrinking every year. They knew that the time would come when they would lose power. It finally happened in November. Their reaction? Normally a losing party assesses its loss and resolves to change direction to draw more voters next time. But decades ago the GOP went for Karl Rove’s new formula: ignore the middle, enrage your base so anger motivates them to turn out in every election, especially those boring off-year elections and state-level elections. The national off-year elections would usually deliver one of the two houses in Congress. The state elections would deliver state houses that would redistrict and gerrymander to ensure the minority party its winning clout. That way, the GOP could ignore the majority and rule. It worked for years, until 2020. But conservatives don’t like change. So they’re sticking with Karl Rove. Now they must deal with the fact that if Blacks really come out to vote, they give the Democrats the edge. So, as columnist Dana Millbank writes, “Republicans aren’t really fighting Democrats. They’re fighting democracy.” Georgia is set to make it illegal to give people waiting in line to vote a drink. Think about that. Blacks in Georgia often vote after church, so clamp down on Sunday voting. Many rural Blacks were born at home so they don’t have birth certificates. Many don’t drive; they walk. So they can’t get the proper identifications so they will be disenfranchised. Whites liked absentee voting in Georgia until Blacks began using it, so now difficult restrictions are put on its use. It’s back to Jim Crow. It’s not just Georgia. There are 253 Republican bills in 42 states to do the same. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 stopped this sort of thing. Section 5 of the law required states that had a history of voter repression to apply to a court for any voter qualification changes. But in 2013 the Supreme Court ended that and several states – in Texas, the day after the ruling – went back to restrictions aimed at Blacks. This shows why Mitch McConnell ignored the constitutional requirement to even hear President Barack Obama’s choice for a Supreme Court vacancy. A conservative court assists in minority rule. Arizona passed two laws restricting voting. One disqualifies a vote that was turned in at the wrong precinct. Now brace yourself. Justice Amy Coney Barrett asked the state defendant, “What’s the interest of the Arizona RNC in keeping . . . the out-of-precinct ballot disqualification rules on the books?” “Because it [allowing out-of-precinct ballots] puts us at a competitive disadvantage relative to Democrats,” said the Republican lawyer. “. . . it’s the difference between winning an election 50 to 49 and losing an election 51 to 50.” How refreshingly honest. If voting isn’t restricted, “they” might win. There’s no question that these are legal American votes. There’s no hint that illegal voting occurred in the last election. The problem is that the Democrats won and that has to stop. The proposed House Resolution 1 would stop gerrymandering and allow mail-in ballots. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy called it an “unparalleled political power grab,” beginning the battle to stop majority rule. The proposed John Lewis Voting Rights Act, essentially restoring the gutted Voting Rights Act, is a second dagger to the heart of the New Jim Crow and minority rule. The racist impulse of the GOP, beginning with Richard Nixon’s Southern Strategy, continuing to Ronald Reagan’s welfare queens, to George H.W. Bush’s Willie Horton ad, and culminating with today’s Donald Trump party, continues full bore. Republicans with consciences, send a message – reregister as an independent. Save democracy.

Thus began a rollercoaster ride of openings and closures that seemed to coincide with the political influence various interest groups wielded, leaving many Californians confused and eventually angered about the seemingly arbitrary nature of Newsom’s decrees. Overtly political aspects became especially evident in recent weeks when the recall movement neared the threshold of 1.5 million signatures on petitions to force an election. Suddenly, the state eased up on restrictions by redefining its countyby-county “tiers” and Newsom, after months of passivity, pushed hard to reopen schools. Newsom cited lower infection rates as his rationale, but he had done that previously in easing up on restrictions only to reimpose them when infections spiked upward. He’s betting that easements will continue and that as children return to classrooms, businesses reopen, unemployment rates drop and Californians’ mood brightens, he can accentuate the positive and beat the recall.

Urban, Guyton to host ACM Awards Tribune Content Agency One of country music’s most established names and one of its newest will collaborate to host the Academy Country Music of Awards next month. Keith Urban, a 15-time ACM Award winner, and New Female Artist of the Year nominee Mickey Guyton will co-host the show, CBS announced Thursday. “I’m beyond thrilled to be co-hosting with my friend Mickey,” Urban, who will host for the second consecutive year, said in a statement. “I love that finally everyone will get to see her infectious energy and uber creative spirit in full light.” Guyton, meanwhile, is still finding her spotlight after her performance of “What Are You Gonna Tell Her?” at last year’s

show, which featured Urban as a surprise guest on piano. “Last year I had the opportunity to perform at the Academy of Country Music Awards with someone I long admired, Keith Urban, and this year I am incredibly excited to share hosting duties with him,” Guyton said in a statement. “As I’ve said before, ‘if you can see it, you can be it,’ and it’s such an honor to step onto the ACM stage as the first ever Black woman to host the show. Over the years, the Academy of Country Music has always been a home for me through opportunities both onstage and throughout their work on diversity and inclusion. This is a moment of great significance for me and I am so thrilled to share it with all the fans.”

Crews to work on Fairfield streets Daily Republic Staff

DRNEWS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — Crews will start work Monday on two major city roadways. Work is expected to continue through Friday. City public works personnel will be performing scheduled road mainte-

nance on Huntington Drive and sealing cracks on Air Base Parkway between Peabody and Parker roads. Officials advise drivers to plan for possible delays, to use caution while driving on these streets and to keep an eye out for workers.

Thefts: See spike From Page A1 be melted and the highly valuable metals, like palladium and rhodium, extracted. Because of the global demand for the critical emission-control devices, just an ounce of the precious metals themselves can be worth thousands of dollars. Catalytic converter thefts have always plagued car owners in big cities, but crime reports have skyrocketed since the beginning of the pandemic. In Los Angeles County alone, the sheriff’s department reported a 400% increase in catalytic converter thefts from 2019 to 2020. Across California, catalytic converter replacements have increased more than 90% during 2020, said Doug Shupe, AAA spokesman. “It really is showing us . . . Unfortunately, that the pandemic really did cause some economic distress and hardships for many people,” Shupe said. ”That’s led to, I guess you could call, enterprising criminals with more time on their hands, and people who are looking for ways to make quick money.” On Wednesday, Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies arrested 19 suspects believed to be involved in a series of thefts in recent weeks. Authorities also recovered a stash of 250 parts – at an estimated value of $750,000 – plus a “ghost” handgun and approximately $100,000,

following an hours-long search at four different locations, sheriff’s department spokesperson Natalie Arriaga said. Toyota Priuses are a favorite target because the vehicles emit fewer toxins, leaving a cleaner and more valuable catalytic converter. Strict laws governing the sale and use of aftermarket catalytic converters make it difficult to secure a cheaper replacement. As a result, Toyota dealerships often have a months-long backlog of orders for the parts, said Avi Margalit, owner of the Los Angeles auto repair shop Hybrid Fix. He said the government should ease its restrictions on replacement catalytic converters so customers don’t have to pay so much. “I’d like to see the state of California ease their restrictions a little bit, because at the end of the day, these devices are supposed to be keeping the air clean,” Margalit said. “There are people that . . . are driving around polluting, because they can’t afford the $3,000 (for a replacement), or they didn’t have the insurance for rental coverage.” Thanks to his comprehensive insurance plan, McNally paid only a $250 deductible at his Toyota dealership for a new catalytic converter, which cost more than $2,000. But he also spent about $100 to rent a car while waiting for the replacement for three weeks.

Council: Full slate From Page One All five applicants scored above 91% on the city’s evaluation scale. The city in a staff report estimates that if the council were to issue two retail and one manufacturing commercial cannabis business permits, the tax revenue generated would be between $265,000 to $385,000 annually. The estimate in the staff report assumes an average of $3 million in gross receipts for two retailers and $1 million for a manufacturer.

Economist Robert Eyler with Economic Forensics & Analytics in Petaluma is scheduled to provide an Economic Development Strategic Plan update and an assessment of Covid-19 impacts on the local economy. The council also will consider a three-year professional service agreement with the Pacific Coast Farmers’ Market Association to operate a new Downtown Fairfield Farmers Market starting in June at a cost of $30,000: $12,000 in the first year; $10,000 in the second; $8,000 in the third. The action comes after the city recently ended its relationship with the Fairfield Main Street Association, which had operated the farmers market. A public hearing on levying a fee on businesses in the North Texas Street Business Improvement District is on the agenda, as is consideration of creating a Clergy Action Network. The council also will take up a proposal to reduce the term of a city planning commissioner to two years instead of four, and establish an attendance requirement.

Vallejo’s H.E.R. wins Grammys Suzy Exposito LOS ANGELES TIMES

LOS ANGELES — Singer, songwriter and guitarist H.E.R. has won the Grammy Award for song of the year for her 2020 protest track, “I Can’t Breathe.” Written in memory of George Floyd and the many Black Americans who died at the hands of police, the deeply ruminative R&B ballad became one of many songs that soundtracked the surge of Black Lives Matter protests across the country. “We wrote this song over FaceTime, and I

didn’t imagine that my fear and that my pain would turn into impact and it would possibly turn into change,” H.E.R., born Gabriella Sarmiento Wilson, said during her acceptance speech. The song of the year award honors “I Can’t Breathe”’s songwriters, Dernst Emile II, H.E.R. and Tiara Thomas. “I want to thank God for giving me the gift of a voice and a pen and using me as a vessel to you know create change, and I’m so thankful for Tiara and Dernst Emile who are such a huge part of this record,” she continued. “I

want to thank my mom. I recorded this song myself in my bedroom at my mom’s house. And I want to thank my dad, he cried – he was in tears when I wrote the song and I played it for him. He was the first person I played it for.” H.E.R. beat out favorites Taylor Swift and Dua Lipa in the category. The Vallejo native’s win wasn’t the only surprise of the night — wearing matching sunglasses and masks, Beyoncé and Jay Z made a surprise appearance in the audience, following reports that they would stay home. They duly stood to applaud H.E.R. as she, dressed in

a luxe Dundas velvet suit, approached the stage. Earlier in the night, H.E.R.’s joint single with Robert Glasper and Meshell Ndegeocello, “Better Than I Imagine,” won the Grammy for R&B song. She won two Grammys in 2019, for R&B album and R&B performance. “I’m so speechless right now, I can’t believe this,” she said, concluding her song of the year acceptance. “Remember, we are the change that we wish to see. That fight that we had in us in the summer of 2020, keep that same energy.”

A timeline of the Nut Tree, from its origins in the 1920s onward, hangs in the Vacaville Museum.

Nut Tree: Exhibit aims to capture spirit From Page One have memories of the Nut Tree, which closed several years ago. “I lived in Sacramento during most of the Nut Tree’s heyday and my family rarely stopped there,” Erickson wrote. “If we did it was to grab a drink, so my childhood Nut Tree memories are of looking at it from a distance and wishing to go

inside. With this exhibit, I finally am seeing Nut Tree up close.” “My memories are of the gentle train and huge lollipops. My family mostly went to Coffee Tree,” Casebolt wrote. Pulling a century of history together in one location was a challenge. It was Casebolt’s job to get in as many items and explain the importance of each in the space available.

“Our strategy became to plan an immersive exhibit that gives visitors a snapshot of the original Nut Tree experience,” she wrote. What does Erickson hope people take away after visiting the exhibit? “We want those who loved the original Nut Tree to leave the exhibit remembering what made it so special. And we want those visitors who have

just heard about the original Nut Tree but never experienced it themselves, to understand why the Nut Tree was so special, and continues to be special, for this community.” The exhibit is open from 1 to 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 213 Buck Ave. Masks are required. For more information, call 447-4513 or go online to vacavillemuseum.org.

Polluters: Critics say businesses get pass From Page A1 convicted of any crimes, according to the agreements. Instead, the government agreed to forego prosecution for a certain time period or drop the case altogether if the companies paid hefty fines and promised to clean up the environmental damage they had inflicted. Critics of these deals, known as deferred prosecution or nonprosecution agreements, say they give corporations a pass. “If you’re the classic U.S. attorney, you want to convict an individual of a serious crime. That gives rise to accountability and deterrence,” said John Coffee, a Columbia University law professor who has written about the drawbacks of these deals. “Deferred prosecution and nonprosecution agreements don’t do that.” The federal Environmental Protection Agency has historically opposed these agreements. In a 2006 memo to investigators, the agency’s director of criminal enforcement wrote that deferred and nonprosecution agreements essentially allowed companies to “buy their way out of a criminal conviction” and should only be used in “truly exceptional circumstances.” Though the Justice Department has sanctioned these agreements and uses them in financial fraud cases, as well as other types of proceedings, prosecutors in the department’s environmental crimes section have typically rejected them as

Community groups march from Boyle Heights to the L.A. civic center to protest a court ruling allowing owners of the Exide battery recycling plant in Vernon to abandon the facility, leaving the cleanup of lead contamination from the site and thousands of surrounding homes to California taxpayers, Oct. 19, 2020. overly lenient. The federal government doesn’t keep a list of the deferred or nonprosecution agreements it has made. But researchers at the University of Virginia and Duke University law schools have created a database to track the criminal prosecution of corporations. According to that registry, federal prosecutors have made only 17 such deals out of more than 700 environmental and wildlife cases since the late 1990s. The Times found two more nonprosecution agreements through a Freedom of Information Act request. Eight of those deals, or roughly 40%, came out of the Central District of California, a rate far out of proportion to its share of the country’s environmental caseload, according to a summary of environmental prosecution data

maintained by Syracuse University’s TRAC project. Three of the eight agreements were made in the last two years. Though these types of agreements can be used to entice corporate boards to assist the government in pursuing criminal charges against executives, none of the Central District cases resulted in enforcement against business owners or high-level employees. “The classic rationale is missing,” Coffee said. “This appears to just be a policy of letting companies off without a criminal conviction.” A U.S. attorney’s office spokesman said deferred and nonprosecution agreements can be an effective deterrent and even advantageous when compared to taking a case to trial, which carries the risk of an acquittal or a judge imposing a lesser penalty. The deals

guarantee that polluters will pay, said spokesman Thom Mrozek, even if they avoid the stigma of a criminal conviction. “We believe that obtaining [deferred and nonprosecution agreements] – along with monetary penalties, corporate compliance agreements, and other provisions – reflects an aggressive pursuit of cases that another office may simply decline,” Mrozek wrote in a statement. The Exide case shows the value of these agreements, he said. Prosecutors feared that if they filed criminal charges, Exide would go bankrupt and taxpayers would have to shoulder the entire cost of the cleanup. The deal they struck “was the only viable option to both shut down the facility and keep the company as a viable entity,” he wrote.

Warriors hold off Jazz after late rally San Francisco Chronicle Early in the fourth quarter Sunday afternoon, after his team let a 15-point lead whittle down to one, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr didn’t give into the temptation to bring Stephen Curry back a couple of minutes early. Golden State was eager to snap out of a seasonworst skid with a victory over the league-best Jazz. But in the long-term, Kerr knew his new-look second unit would benefit from

staying on the floor for a critical stretch. What soon unfolded – a 4-0 spurt to create some distance as the Warriors pulled away for a 131-119 win over Utah at Chase Center – was perhaps the most important development from a memorable Sunday. After dropping four games in a row for the first time this season, Golden State led almost the entire way as it moved back above .500 and dealt Utah just its 10th loss. This was the type of resilient per-

formance that Kerr can reference whenever he needs to remind his team what its identity must be as it jostles for playoff positioning in coming months. “We’re right there,” forward Andrew Wiggins said. “We just have to build off this win.” The Warriors weathered Utah’s second-half rally as they finished 56.2% from the field (51.6% from 3-point range) and totaled 33 assists to only 13 turnovers. Curry, on his 33rd birthday, had 32 points

and nine assists. Forward Draymond Green posted his 26th career triple-double (11 points, 12 assists and 12 rebounds), and Wiggins added 28 points. Three days after sitting the first three quarters of a blowout loss to the Clippers as punishment for a missed coronavirus test, rookie center James Wiseman needed only 11 shots and 23 minutes to score 16 points.

Minor leagues set to try robot umpires Paul Sullivan

CHICAGO TRIBUNE

CHICAGO – Robot umps are coming. It’s only a matter of time. Among the many rules changes Major League Baseball is experimenting with in the minors this year is the expansion of the use of the automated strike zone, which will be used in Low Class A Southeast games. The so-called “roboumps” were first tried out in the Atlantic League and Arizona Fall League in 2019, and an MLB news release stated the ABS (Automatic BallStrike System) will “assist home plate umpires with calling balls and strikes, ensure a consistent strike zone is called and determine the optimal strike zone for the system.” In other words, it’s

ANALYSIS supposed to be Angel Hernandez-proof. So how long until it reaches the majors? “It’s inevitable, right?” Chicago Cubs manager David Ross said. “I think they’re trying to maximize the consistency of the strike zone. It makes a lot of sense. My fear, from a former catcher’s (perspective), is what the product looked like on TV. I loved manipulating the ball as a catcher, and the framing aspect, and trying to play a kind of cat-and-mouse game and having relationships with umpires and talking about strikes and balls. That (catcher-umpire) dynamic was fun for me.” The umpire still will be able to talk balls and strikes with the catcher. He just won’t be able to make the calls.

“I know fans are concerned because arguing with the umpires about balls and strike is one of the few times you can get thrown out,” White Sox manager Tony La Russa said. “That’s going to be tough to do.” La Russa said he spoke with members of the MLB rules committee recently when they asked for the opinions of some managers. He was in favor or some of the new rules being tried out in the minors, including slightly larger bases and a 15-second pitch clock to speed up the game. As for robo-umps? “I saw it here in the Arizona Fall League a couple years ago,” he said. “I don’t know if I have an opinion.” Well, there’s a first for everything. La Russa proceeded to laud the commissioner’s office and the rules

committee for coming up with ideas, and said he was going to ask some umpires how they feel about it. I’m guessing they feel the same way coal miners feel about the Green New Deal. When I asked umpire Joe West about the possibility of robo-umps in 2017, he laughed. “They’ve tried that,” he said. “But that machine misses more pitches than we do.” A call to the Major League Baseball Umpires Association Friday was not immediately returned. It wasn’t that long ago, during the summer of 2018, that former Cubs utility player Ben Zobrist was ejected from a game at Wrigley Field for telling plate umpire Phil Cuzzi the players wanted See Umpires, Page B8

A’s offer suites priced in Bitcoin Matt K awahara

SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

The A’s are selling full-season suites for 2021 at the Coliseum. The price: One Bitcoin. The A’s said Sunday that six-person suites for the season are on sale through March 31 for one unit of the digital currency. Although some major sports teams accept Bitcoin, the A’s are thought to be the first team to price tickets in the cryptocurrency. That means the price of a full-season suite likely will vary depending on when it is bought. The cost of one Bitcoin surpassed $50,000 for the first time in midFebruary and reportedly topped

$60,000 on Saturday. As of the A’s announcement Sunday, it was just below $60,000. The A’s said suite sales in Bitcoin will end March 31. A full-season suite can be purchased after Opening Night, April 1, but the price will be prorated in U.S. dollars based on number of games. Team President Dave Kaval said in a statement that the A’s “invite our fans to become the first Bitcoin suite holders in sports. We’re excited to be one of a handful of teams to accept cryptocurrency for payment and the first to price tickets in crypto instead of US currency. ... Suites are the perfect way for groups who want to safely socially distance themselves from

other fans to enjoy A’s baseball this season.” The A’s are expecting to welcome fans back into the Coliseum this season for the first time in more than a year. Under Alameda County’s current status in the state’s red tier, the stadium would be allowed to open at 20% capacity for games, expanding to 33% if the county reaches the orange tier. The A’s say 20% capacity will translate to 11,020 people. Fans will sit in physically distanced pods of two and four, plus the six-person suites. The A’s also announced Sunday that singlegame suites are on sale for $594 for select games in April.

NEW ORLEANS — March 11, 2006 – Freshly minted New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton launched into a recruiting pitch that altered the course of the franchise, and the city itself, forever. The Saints wined and dined Drew Brees, a free-agent quarterback coming off a shoulder injury so debilitating Brees himself thought his career might be over. They drove through deserted, devastated parts of New Orleans that appeared untouched since Hurricane Katrina unleashed hell across the region six months earlier. The Miami Dolphins disregarded Brees and his shoulder as damaged goods, so Payton and the Saints committed to No. 9 a few days later; and for 15 years they put together one of the greatest offenses in NFL history – turning a pitiful franchise into a Super Bowl champion and a perennial contender. And now, after all those memorable moments, the Saints’ greatest player is

hanging up his cleats. Brees, 42, announced Sunday his playing career is over, making the announcement on the 15th anniversary of his signing with the Saints. The formal announcement, which Brees posted to Instagram, featured his four children sitting on their couch to break the news. “After 15 years on the Saints and 20 years in the NFL, our dad is finally gonna retire so he can spend more time with us,” the Brees children said in the video. Brees accompanied the short clip with a caption that read, “After 20 years as a player in the NFL and 15 years as a Saint, it is time I retire from the game of football. Each day, I poured my heart & soul into being your quarterback. Til the very end, I exhausted myself to give everything I had to the Saints organization, my team, and the great city of New Orleans. “We shared some amazing moments together, many of which are emblazoned in our See Brees, Page B8

USC, UCLA make Madness Los Angeles Times The NCAA men’s basketball tournament is back after a one-year hiatus caused by the global pandemic. USC and UCLA received at-large bids into the 68-team field, which was announced Sunday. The entire tournament will be played in Indiana. The sixth-seeded Trojans (22-7) will play the winner of the Wichita State vs. Drake play-in game on Saturday. The Bruins (17-9), who enter the tournament having lost four games in a row, will play Michigan State (13-9) in a First Four game on Thursday. UC Santa Barbara (22-4), the regular-season and Big West conference tournament champion, will play Creighton (20-8) on Saturday. San Diego State (23-4) will play Syracuse (16-9) on Friday. Gonzaga is the No. 1 overall seed, the Bulldogs (26-0) attempting become the first team since the 1976 Indiana Hoosiers to go unbeaten. Baylor (22-2), Illinois (23-6) and

Michigan (20-4) are the other No. 1 seeds. The first four games, traditionally held on Tuesday and Wednesday, will be played on Thursday, giving teams a chance to go through Covid-19 testing. Those games will be played in West Lafayette and Bloomington. Firstround games will be played in those cities and Indianapolis. All games after the second round will be played in Indianapolis. The first two rounds will be played Friday through Monday. The Final Four will begin on April 3, with the championship game being played April 5 at Lucas Oil Stadium. During conference tournaments last week, four teams – Duke, Kansas, 2019 champion Virginia and North Carolina A&T – had to withdraw because of positive Covid-19 results. Kansas and Virginia were chosen for the NCAA tournament and are expected to be available to play.

7 great films from the slow-building, magnetic career of Tilda Swinton

Crossword

Tribune Content Agency Not many things about the enigmatic Tilda Swinton are cut and dried, but her career does neatly divide at the turn of the millennium. Before then, she was barely known to moviegoers and was reluctant to consider herself an actor. She often said she felt like she’d been pulled into art projects by her friend, the late Derek Jarman. She was his muse in eight films, beginning with her 1986 debut, “Caravaggio,” and peaking with the vituperative “The Last of England,” one of many Swinton performances (see also “Snowpiercer”) that channel Margaret Thatcher. Now the Scottish Swinton has more than 90 credits on her IMDb page. But most audiences didn’t learn of her until Sally Potter’s “Orlando” in 1992. It wasn’t until “The Beach” in 2000 and “The Deep End” in 2001 that she made movies that played at multiplexes. She won an Oscar for “Michael Clayton,” finally making her a fixture in what she calls “industrial cinema” at 47. The cliche that age is just a number becomes the simple truth with Swinton. She can pass for 30 years younger, or play a centenarian in “The Grand Budapest Hotel.” Maybe because her pale, etchedcheekbone appearance is so distinctive, she embraces transformation, whether it’s shaving her head to become the Ancient One in Marvel movies, portraying a man (among other roles) in “Suspiria” or donning ill-fitting teeth and huge glasses for a society matron in “Love Is the Devil: Study for a Portrait of Francis Bacon.” Her showiest transformations are the two times she has played sets of twins, in Joel and Ethan Coen’s “Hail, Caesar!” and Bong Joon-ho’s “Okja,” where neither platinum-blond sister she takes on looks much like her. But even when she barely changes her appearance, it’s clear that there’s a huge gap between Tilda Swinton (whoever that is) and her character. The actor has mastered the art of revealing a lot about her characters while preserving a sense of mystery. Shaping and reshaping her singular presence, she is like nobody (well, maybe David Bowie) but can play almost anybody. It’s hard to think of a contemporary actor who has freaked out on screen more than Swinton, but as Indiewire’s David Ehrlich has pointed out, “She has a way of making big performances seem almost life-sized.” Swinton has at least three titles on the way, including the short film “The Human Voice,” opening in theaters March 26 (paired with “Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown”), and she’s working with trailblazers including George Miller (“Mad Max: Fury Road”) and Apichatpong Weerasethakul.

‘I Am Love’ (2010) Her most scintillating performance is in Italian with a Russian accent (try that, Meryl Streep!). Directed by a pre-”Call Me by Your Name” Luca Guadagnino, it’s a slow-burning drama about a wealthy woman whose life is crumbling. A dazzling, wordless sequence in which she walks around Milan while the soundtrack blares John Adams’ “Lollapalooza” spills some of her secrets in the first of three films in which her daughter, Honor, has played her daughter. (The other two are “The Souvenir” and the upcoming “The Souvenir II.”)

‘The Deep End’ (2001) Swinton projects steely determination in every frame of this thriller, playing an average mom whose son gets involved with a dangerous criminal and who demonstrates how far she’ll go to keep him safe.

‘Michael Clayton’ (2007) Do you like to guess which scene in a film persuaded Oscar voters to check the winner’s name? Here, it feels like a tossup between insecure moments when Swinton’s corporate bigwig tries to psych herself up for presentations and the finale, when all her defenses fail after George Clooney’s Clayton confronts her with the deception that will send her to jail.

‘Love Is the Devil: Study for a Portrait of Francis Bacon’ (1998) Some remember it as the

offbeat drama that launched the frequently naked Daniel Craig’s career, but I think of it as the best in a long line of Swinton gorgons: closed-minded women who dismiss art, religion or justice with casual remarks. Her Muriel Belcher, a real arts patron once called the rudest woman in England, is one of the actor’s most vicious caricatures.

‘Hail, Caesar!’ (2016) Only Swinton could find a way not to be outacted by the bizarre hats she wears as twin gossip columnists modeled on Hollywood terrors Hedda Hopper and Louella Parsons. The feather-bedecked creations are funny, but her Mid-Atlanticaccented outrage is funnier.

‘Orlando’ (1992) “There can be no doubt about his sex” it’s said of the title character, who establishes a lot of the elements that will recur throughout Swinton’s career: multiple roles, androgyny, daring acting choices, timelessness and, in direct-address scenes, an intimate bond between actor and audience.

‘We Need to Talk About Kevin’ (2011) What do you do if you’re a mom and you can’t stand your kid? The exhaustion, ambivalence and terror in Swinton’s performance, under the direction of Lynne Ramsay, sell this adaptation of Lionel Shriver’s novel, where we’re not always sure if the mother is unhinged or frighteningly sane. Musician Billie Eilish, who often calls it one of her favorite movies, has helped create a new life for a psychodrama that originally bombed.

contract of six spades went down one after West led the club ace and continued with a second club. Which card won the setting trick? If you guess this correctly, you should go to Las Vegas as soon as it reopens; do not pass Go, do not collect $200. In the auction, after South opened two clubs, West intervened with three clubs. (He did not have a way to show a heart-club two-suiter.) North passed, not having a five-card suit to bid or a club stopper for no-trump. But after East raised clubs, and South rebid four spades, North used Roman Key Card Blackwood. South showed four key cards (here, three aces and the spade king), and North signed off in six spades. This contract should go down if West leads the club ace or either singleton six! At this table, South took the second trick with the club king, drew trumps ending in hand and led the heart six.

3 corned beef recipes

Baked corned beef caramelized onions and carrots, prepared and styled by Shannon Kinsella.

to enjoy this St. Patrick’s Day that aren’t hash

for the base of a meaty soup.) Drizzle the maple glaze over the meat and the vegetables. Bake, until bubbling hot, about 10 minutes. Transfer corned beef to a cutting board. Slice thinly, across the grain. Arrange on serving platter; pile the carrots and onions alongside the sliced meat. Pass the horseradish sauce.

small dice corned beef (or smoky ham) Chopped parsley and green onions, for garnish Have all ingredients ready and set near the cooking surface. Heat a large pot of salted water to boil over high heat. Add 8 ounces pasta. Cook, stirring often, until al dente (nearly tender but not soft when tasted), 8 to 10 minutes. Scoop out 1 cup of the cooking liquid and reserve it. Drain the pasta well and let stand while you make the sauce. While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter or bacon fat in medium-size saucepan over medium heat. Add ½ large sweet onion, thinly slices; cook and stir until onion is golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle 1⁄3 cup flour over onions; cook and stir for 1 minute. Whisk in 2 cups nonfat milk and ½ cup halfand-half (or whipping cream) and ½ teaspoon salt. Cook, whisking constantly until milk thickens, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and season with 1 teaspoon red pepper hot sauce. When pasta is done, stir both cheeses into the hot white sauce. Add drained pasta and corned beef; mix gently. Taste for salt. Gently stir in enough of the reserved pasta cooking liquid to loosen up the mixture. Serve right away sprinkled with parsley and onions.

CHEESY PASTA WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS AND CORNED BEEF Total time: 45 minutes 25 minutes (prepare time) + 20 minutes (cook time) Makes 6 servings Notes: I prefer not to use pre-shredded cheese here because the added anti-caking ingredients interfere with a creamy melt. It’s easy to shred chunks of cheese on the large holes of a four-sided grater. If desired, transfer the finished dish to a buttered baking dish and top with buttered bread crumbs; bake until crumbs are crisp and golden. 8 ounces (about 2 ½ cups) mezzi rigatoni or fusilli pasta 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon butter or bacon fat ½ large sweet onion, very thinly sliced 1 ⁄3 cup flour 2 cups nonfat milk ½ cup half-and-half or heavy (whipping) cream ½ teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon hot red pepper sauce, plus more for serving 1 cup (3 ounces) shredded white cheddar cheese 1 cup (3 ounces) shredded Gruyere or Swiss cheese 1 ½ cups (4 to 5 ounces)

WARM CORNED BEEF SANDWICH WITH BLACK PEPPER MAYO Total time: 10 minutes 8 minutes (prepare time) + 1 minute (cook time) Makes 2 sandwiches Notes: You can toast the rye bread if desired, but I like the texture of untoasted bread with warm corned beef. 3 tablespoons mayonnaise 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish ½ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper 4 slices hearty rye bread 6 to 8 ounces very thinly sliced corned beef Very thinly sliced red onion, well rinsed, optional Mix 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish and ½ teaspoon fresh black pepper in small bowl. Spread the mixture over one side of 4 rye bread slices. Fold the 6 to 8 ounces corned beef slices in half and pile them onto a microwave-safe plate. Cover with plastic and microwave on high (100 percent power) just long enough to make the meat steamy hot, 45 to 60 seconds. Arrange half of the corned beef on two slices of the bread. Top with a few red onion slices if desired. Top with a second bread slice. Serve while warm.

or many of us, corned beef tastes delicious every day of the year. But its popularity soars on Saint Patrick’s Day – Irish heritage optional. Like green beer, this holiday food tradition is largely a phenomenon in the United States. In fact, today’s corned beef is more Jewish than Irish. It’s rare to encounter it in Ireland. The British are credited for corning beef in the 17th century by curing fresh beef with salt for preservation. Shaylyn Esposito, writing in the Smithsonian Magazine (March 15, 2013) explains that the term “corned” comes from the size of the salt kernels used in the curing. For tax reasons, Irish salt was less expensive than British salt, so cattle was shipped to Ireland to be corned. Irish corned beef was exported to Europe and the Americas until the end of the 18th century when the demand declined as the North American colonies produced their own. A million Irish people immigrated to this country during Ireland’s Great Famine, frequently landing first in New York alongside Jewish immigrants from Eastern and Central Europe. Here, the Irish embraced beef – especially corned beef. However, Esposito explains that “the corned beef the Irish immigrants ate was much different than that produced in Ireland 200 years prior. The Irish immigrants almost solely bought their meat from kosher butchers. And what we think of today as Irish corned beef is actually Jewish corned beef thrown into a pot with cabbage and potatoes.” Since brisket is a tough cut of beef, it is well suited to the salting and cooking that transforms it into tender, tasty corned beef. This all explains why today corned beef can be found in Irish-American households and Jewish delis alike. Armed with these kernels of knowledge, it’s time to get cooking. You can simmer corned beef roasts (sold in cryo-vac packages in the meat case) with a little Irish stout and fresh orange slices in the oven. The whole house will smell delicious, hopefully providing a pleasant distraction when working in our home offices. At dinnertime, a peppery maple glaze will make the whole dish shine. When time is short, you can channel a delicatessen and simply enjoy a warm corned beef

Corned beef with Gruyere and Parmesan cheese pasta, prepared and styled by Shannon Kinsella. sandwich, made from deli-sliced, fully cooked corned beef on rye bread with zesty horseradishspiked mayonnaise. And leftover corned beef tastes great tucked into creamy, cheesy pasta for a warming winter meal no matter where you live. MAPLE-GLAZED CORNED BEEF WITH ORANGE AND STOUT Total time: 4 hours 25 minutes (prepare time) + 3 ½ hours (cook time) Makes 6 to 8 servings Notes: Look in the meat case for seasoned corned beef that’s ready to cook. A whole corned beef brisket weighs 6 to 8 pounds. A 3-pound flat cut makes for easy slicing. You can prepare the recipe through step 2 in a slow-cooker set on low. Cooking time will be 6 to 8 hours; add the carrots after 4 hours. For the corned beef: 1 flat cut, corned beef brisket (about 3 pounds) 2 medium-size sweet onions, cut into 8 wedges 2 ribs celery, roughly chopped 1 medium-size orange, ends trimmed, halved, thinly sliced 3 large cloves garlic, sliced 1 teaspoon black peppercorns ½ teaspoon whole cloves 2 bay leaves 1 cup stout beer 8 long skinny carrots (about 12 ounces) peeled, cut crosswise in half For the glaze: ¼ cup pure maple syrup 1 tablespoon molasses, optional 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Horseradish sauce, for serving Heat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Put corned beef, wedges from 2 medium-size onions, 2 chopped celery ribs, 1 thinly sliced orange, 3 cloves sliced garlic, 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, ½ teaspoon whole cloves and 2 bay leaves into a large (6-quart) Dutch oven. Add 1 cup stout beer and then cold water to cover everything by 1 inch. Heat to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Place a piece of parchment paper over the top of the pot. Add the lid and carefully slide into the oven. Bake covered, stirring once or twice, for 2 hours. Add carrots to pot; cover and continue baking until a fork inserted into meat releases easily, 1 to 1 ½ more hours. Use a slotted spoon to scoop out and discard the orange slices. (Recipe can be prepared to this point and refrigerated in the liquid, covered, up to 2 days. Rewarm everything over mediumlow heat on top of the stove.) To make the glaze, mix ¼ cup maple syrup, 1 tablespoon molasses (if using), 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard and ½ teaspoon ground black pepper in a small saucepan. Heat to a simmer. Cook and stir until mixture reduces to a thick syrup consistency, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Heat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit on convection or 400 degrees Fahrenheit on conventional setting. Use tongs to transfer cooked corned beef to a foil-lined baking pan. Use a slotted spoon to transfer carrots and onion pieces around the meat in the baking pan. (You can strain the broth and save it

hearts and minds and will forever be a part of us. You have molded me, strengthened me, inspired me, and given me a lifetime of memories. My goal for the last 15 years was striving to give to you everything you had given to me and more. “I am only retiring from playing football. I am not retiring from New Orleans. This is not goodbye, rather a new beginning. Now my real life’s work begins!” Brees walks away from the game as one of the most accomplished players the NFL has ever seen, spending 15 of his 20 pro seasons with the Saints and rewriting the record books in the process. His retirement felt imminent from the waning moments of the Saints’ divisional round loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Jan. 17. As the seconds ticked down and Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady kneeled out the clock, backup Saints quarterback Jameis Winston walked up to Brees, who had been standing alone on the sideline with his hands resting on his hips and his helmet still on. Winston hugged him, telling Brees how much he admired him and that he loved him. “You’re still the greatest quarterback to ever play this game,” Winston said. “The things that you overcame this year that people don’t know, and they really don’t care, but we know. And we know how hard you fought.” After the final buzzer, while he ran off the field, Brees blew his three traditional kisses up toward his family. But then he broke from his norms. With tears welled in his eyes, he turned back over his left shoulder, taking one last look at the nearly empty Superdome. Brees – a surefire first-ballot Hall of Famer – has long maintained he wanted to retire on his own terms. “Listen, it’s not a matter of if I can still play. I know I can still play,” Brees said in January 2020. “And if I really wanted to, I could probably play for another three or four years.”

nudged the corner of the zone at the back of the plate. According to The Athletic’s Jayson Stark, the updated Automated Strike Zone will no longer be three-dimensional, “theoretically eliminating those optical-illusion strikes.”
