Spring is here again

FAIRFIELD — More than a half-million U.S. residents were homeless in 2020, 39% of whom were unsheltered, according to the annual Homeless Assessment Report to Congress. The report published by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development noted that the largest segment of the homeless population

is under 25 years old, and disproportionately nonwhite when compared to the overall population. “On a single night in 2020, roughly 580,000 people were experiencing homelessness in the United States. Six in 10 (61%) were staying in sheltered locations – emergency shelters or transitional housing programs – and nearly four in 10 (39%) See Homeless, Page A8

Beauty blooms at HvH Specialty Growers Amy Maginnis-Honey

SUISUN VALLEY — You can tiptoe around the tulips, chill with the Icelandic poppies and get acquainted with anemone at HvH Specialty Growers. The business takes its name from owners and proprietors Lisa Haas and Ron vanHuuksloot, who have been bringing blooms to life for a few years in the Suisun Valley. They rented property from Larry Balestra and grew their flowers there. They were able to secure 10 acres last July as a permanent location and have continued to grow, add beauty and serve the community. HvH sent flowers in early March to the Sacramento National Cemetery, where they were placed alongside the headstones. Healthy flowers and greenery are designed and hand-tied into bouquets to honor fallen and former military heroes. Families can choose to publicly honor the heroic stories, sacrifices and memories of lost loved ones in their special section devoted to service members. Apprentice farm manager Alora Perrin, who grew up in Fairfield and Suisun City, is enrolled in the Apprentice Farm Manager program through the Center for Land-Based Learning and will complete the program in 2022. She previously worked for Green

Tulips grow at the HvH Specialty Growers flower farm in Suisun Valley. Valley Florist. “Her program is important to us,” Haas said. “It’s being part of the community and giving back.” Field associate Armando Jaimes, a Fairfield native, and Perrin oversee the daily operation. Their tasks can range from planting to running the tractor to chasing off critters who nibble at the flowers to putting up shade structures. It’s a year-round operation, with late winter and early spring flowers finishing their seasons. Sunflowers, and other flowers that love the heat, are next, Perrin said. As she walks around the acreage that’s planted, Perrin stops to show off the varieties, pull some weeds

and even deal with a field mouse. Dealing with the critter is on her to-do list. Perrin contacted another specialty flower grower. Their suggestion: Plant a decoy garden. She points out the rare, beautiful Italian ranunculus, which resembles a delicate rose with many layers. The flower, when open, resembles a pile of whipped cream atop an ice cream sundae. There’s a bevy of different daffodils and colorful tulips, some with scalloped edges. “Lisa is always looking for new varieties,” Perrin said. Haas can name them all with a quick glance. She has studied the See Growers, Page A8

State to allow 3-foot spacing in classrooms Los Angeles Times LOS ANGELES — Students in California are now allowed to sit 3 feet apart in classrooms – instead of 4 or 6 feet – in guidelines state officials issued Saturday, a major change in policy that will exert pressure on local officials for a faster and more complete reopening of campuses that have been closed for over a year in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Local education leaders will have the final say –

and Los Angeles Unified Superintendent Austin Beutner said Sunday that L.A. schools would stick with the 6-foot rule. Still, the ground has shifted rapidly since the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday announced its endorsement of a 3-foot rule for elementary schools. The agency also OK’d 3-foot desk spacing on campuses with older students, but there are See Spacing, Page A8

I’m still waiting. I can find joy in getting an idea at the Solano County Fairgrounds to pass along to the Registrar of Voters that they will ignore. The people at the Registrar of Voters are very good at responding to and implementing suggestions. However, one I have made for years that has gone unheeded is to not use so many numbers. For instance, during elections, they have precincts and polling places. A polling place can be, say, a fire station. But inside that one polling place, there can be multiple voting precincts. Now, making it easy for voters to find their correct precinct involves looking for a number. But the polling place has a number, too – it can be a little confusing. Instead of using numbers on poles to help fairgoers remember where they parked, the Solano County Fairgrounds uses names of animals and even includes huge silhouettes of each. I made this suggestion to the ROV years ago. Fewer numbers, means less confusion. The fairgrounds uses farm animals mostly, but the ROV could use, among others, jackalopes, unicorns, minotaurs and wookies. You’re welcome. I can find joy in Bob Ross.

“TWO OF THE FUNNIEST POLAR BEARS THE WORLD IN CH A SE H A PPILY EVERY DAY,” promises the website for Harbin Polarland, a Chinese theme park that claims to be home to the world’s first polar bear hotel. “AN UNPARALLELED SHOW OF POLAR BEARS WILL BE PRESENTED FOR YOU.” Conservationists and animal rights groups aren’t quite so sure that the bears are happy. The unusual attraction, which opened Friday, features 21 guest rooms that look out over an indoor enclosure where the bears gambol across a floor painted to look like an ice floe. Fake rocks line the courtyard, and fake icicles dangle overhead. “This hotel is akin to a 21st-century bear pit,” Simon Marsh, the acting director of Britain-based Wild Welfare, said in a statement. Polar bears need fresh air, space to roam around and the ability to seek out natural stimulation, unbothered by visitors, he said. A video shared on social media by a Beijingbased conservationist Monday seemed to show a polar bear pacing back and forth in the enclosure, displaying what experts say are clear signs that the animal is distressed.

“Polar bears belong in the Arctic, not in zoos or glass boxes in aquariums – and certainly not in hotels,” Jason Baker, the senior vice president for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) Asia, said in a statement. “Polar bears are active for up to 18 hours a day in nature, roaming home ranges that can span thousands of miles, where they enjoy a real life.” The hotel has defended keeping the animals in captivity, saying that the polar bears aren’t exclusively housed in the small indoor courtyard. Yang Liu, a spokeswoman for Harbin Polarland, told Reuters that the polar bears spend time outside when the weather and air quality permits. But the hotel’s main selling point is 24/7 access to polar bears. “Whether you’re eating, playing or sleeping, polar bears will keep you company,” a recent post on Harbin Polarland’s WeChat account said. Located roughly five hours south of the Russian border in Heilongjiang, China’s northernmost province, Harbin Polarland is also home to beluga whales, arctic foxes and what the park claims is the “first Antarctic penguin born in an inland city.” Rooms at the polar bear hotel cost roughly $290 to $352 a night.

Pediatrician Elizabeth Bergamini discovers nearly a dozen open Covid-19 vaccine appointments online while holding her 4-month-old son, Louis, and texting a friend and fellow “vaccine sherpa” to coordinate signing people up for appointments from her home in Wildwood, Mo.,

March 11. Bergamini works nights and spends her days finding vaccine appointments for people and signing them up while parenting her three sons. So far, she’s registered nearly 500 people for appointments who otherwise might lack the technology to do so.

Vaccine hunters

step in to help those getting lost in tech-savvy competition for doses Tribune Content Agency ST. LOUIS — Dr. Elizabeth Bergamini works nights as a pediatrician. During the day, she juggles caring for three children – ages 4 months, 2 and 5 – while booking vaccine appointments for others. She estimates she’s helped about 500 people. She sits on the couch, while feeding or rocking her baby, with her laptop, her husband’s computer and phone. “I spend a lot of time stalking websites and refreshing pages,” said

Bergamini, 31, of Wildwood. “It’s a million different little links. If you are not a little bit techsavvy, you can’t navigate these systems.” Butch Hartmann of Richmond Heights was in that category. He saw a Feb. 17 story on the news about Mary Grobe, an area school teacher who was helping others find vaccine appointments. Hartmann, 78, called her school district and left her a message. Hartmann was desperate to find a dose for his longtime girlfriend, Betty White, 74. With no com-

puter or smartphone, he was having no luck with the health systems. Grobe called him back, and four days later, Grobe had scored White an appointment at Walgreens in Ferguson. All White had to do was show up. “She’s super cool on the computer, you know,” Hartmann said, “I call her the queen of the vaccine hunters.” Grobe, 41, of St. Louis, is one of several “hunters” helping others navigate what has become the complicated world of finding Covid-19 vaccine appointments.

Every pharmacy, local health department, hospital system, clinic or state mass vaccine event has a different way to register or book appointments. And one must be quick. With appointments getting snapped up as soon as they open, those with the time and savvy to monitor websites have a leg up. Residents able to travel to rural areas, where it’s easier to get appointments, also have an advantage. Grobe said she’s helped about 600 people See Vaccine, Page A4

Vaccine From Page A3 get appointments, mostly at pharmacies and clinics outside of urban areas. “A lot is outside of St. Louis,” she said. “There’s more demand in St. Louis than we have appointments for people. I have people going to Farmington, Desloge, you are talking an hour or more away, because they want their vaccine.” A recent report from Deloitte Consulting, a firm hired by the state of Missouri, found that during the last week of February, residents of the more populous areas of St. Louis, St. Charles and Jackson counties were the most mobile in seeking vaccines. The report also showed that the largest vaccination gaps – the number of eligible residents who have not gotten a dose – have remained in the urban areas for the past month. Competition is fierce. Grobe knows the times when pharmacies post their next round of open appointments. She monitors social media accounts of locations, which often share when they’ve received shipments and plan to open appointment times. Armed with her phone, she checks the sites when she wakes up, during breaks each day and at night. She maintains a list of about 30 people to text, call or book an appointment for when she spots an opening. “And they know if I message them,” she said, “they better do it now.” Grobe also has another list of teachers who become eligible for vaccines on Monday along with other essential workers like grocers and bus drivers – a total of 550,000 residents across the state. But Grobe said she

is still helping health care workers, who were among the first eligible, to find doses. Mostly, she helps those over age 65 with qualifying highrisk health conditions. She has friends keeping an eye out as well. “We message each other when we see openings,” Grobe said. “It’s a lot of networking.” Barry Brimer, 46, of west St. Louis County, says he can’t help people like a doctor or a teacher can, but he works in IT and is a computer wizard. Brimer created a computer script to monitor 20 different appointment sites that notify him whenever one has changed and may have openings. “I feel this is a very important thing that needs to get done,” he said. “It frustrates me to no end that it’s this hard for people who really need it the most – those who can’t do this, whether it’s because of technology, resources or time – aren’t getting taken care of.” Many appointments are located outside the St. Louis region in places like Hannibal, Cuba, Columbia, Salem and Rolla, Brimer said. He estimates he spends up to three hours a day searching for appointments, each time helping about 10 people get booked along with countless others who see his Facebook posts about openings. He also shares information in private Facebook groups: St. Louis and Eastern Missouri Covid-19 Vaccine Info, which has over 33,000 members, and the much smaller Missouri Vaccine Equity Group, which is focused on helping those who face the most challenges in finding a dose. People find Brimer and other hunters through word-of-mouth. Those Brimer helps include people scared they may fall prey to email scams or sus-

sol ano/nation picious websites. Others need help figuring out the eligibility rules. Some face more difficult barriers. Two disabled women, roommates in their 50s, needed appointments close by and within the short time-frame their caretaker worked and could transport them. Brimer said he had to watch sites like a hawk for days. Without his help, “these people would not have been vaccinated in a timely manner,” he said. “There’s just no way.” The latest tip shared on social media to beat others to available doses is to change the time zone on your computer or phone, which triggers earlier access to open appointments at Walmart pharmacies. Those with the skills and technology are increasingly the ones able to book appointments, despite Covid-19 hitting the marginalized the hardest. “That’s why I feel it’s so important to do this,” Brimer said. “The digital divide is getting worse, and now it’s literally a matter of life and death.” Bergamini has gone beyond hunting down available doses; she has even driven others to appointments hours away in places like Potosi, Cape Girardeau and Poplar Bluff. At a recent mass vaccination event in Scotland County, health department administrator Sarah Krouse-Steele estimated that about half of the attendees came from outside the county. Some came from neighboring Knox, Schuyler and Clark counties, she said, but a good number also drove from St. Louis – about 200 miles away. The department still had to redistribute about 2,000 of their 2,500 doses to another event. “Between us and the hospital, we had already vaccinated quite a few people in this county,” Krouse-Steele said.

Missouri Gov. Mike Parson has also said the state is transitioning to hosting more mass vaccination events in urban areas. The Missouri National Guard had been coordinating weekly 2,000-dose events in each of the state’s nine Highway Patrol regions. During a briefing on Thursday, Parson said the state’s mass vaccination teams will triple in the St. Louis area by April 1, and double in the Kansas City area. The state will also, starting the week of March 29, shift vaccine allocations from a system based on each region’s population to one based on each region’s number of unvaccinated, eligible individuals. Over the past week, Bergamini and others say more appointments have opened in the St. Louis area. More pharmacies are offering doses, and people are beginning to receive emails and calls from local health departments and hospitals. Hartmann said White got her first call back from SSM Health on Wednesday, about two weeks after Grobe helped her get an appointment at Walgreens. The vaccine hunters say their only reward is hearing how grateful people are to finally be able to see their grandkids or venture out of their homes. “I’ve enjoyed seeing how much joy and relief people get by having that appointment,” Bergamini said. “People have called me crying, they are so happy.” Grobe is driven by her own experience with Covid-19. She was infected in November and became extremely ill. She missed six weeks of work and still suffers breathing issues. She doesn’t want anyone else to go through that. She also remembers what it felt like getting vaccinated. “When I got that first shot,” she said, “it felt like winning the lottery.”

Recalls galore in Solano, state

ave you noticed how extreme our politics have become? No? Then let me acquaint you with the latest example – the recall. Back a hundred years ago, California was in the grip of powerful moneyed interests such as railroads and banks. So progressive Gov. Hiram Johnson pushed through three direct democracy measures so Californians could get around a do-nothing Legislature. They could propose a law (the initiative), remove a law (referendum) and remove an elected official (the recall). The initiative, as we all know every two years, has created a cottage industry for “interests” to pass their pet ideas – some good, some bad. Now it seems time for the recall. Direct Jack Batson democracy has broken out in Vacaville, Benicia and in the Golden State. First, Vacaville. After so many videos of police shooting Blacks and the killing of George Floyd, outrage broke out in many cities. Vacaville and Fairfield saw protests accompanied by a bit of nonsense called “defund police.” One January night in Vacaville, a group of vandals broke some windows at the police station and graffitied the walls. Some people protested the protestors. Two letters to the editor appeared in local newspapers. Five of the six sitting City Council members were called out because they had, “. . . joined with and encouraged the protesters who have terrorized our city for months.” A week later, another letter to the editor appeared which repeated word-for-word that they should be recalled “because of the violence they have incited . . . .” Wow! Fire-breathing council members “have helped foster this environment of hate and violence.” Throw ‘em all out! Two council members were particularly highlighted, so I called them. Jeanette Wiley is a retired teacher with 35 years of service and is a leader of a local church. That seemed suspicious to me, but I was reassured that the photo of her meeting with the ruthless rowdies occurred at a Ruth Bader Ginsburg vigil, not at a terrorist event. Nolan Sullivan is the director of Social Services in Yolo County with a $100 million budget. He was a school board member and volunteers for the Boy Scouts. That’s exactly the cover a clever terrorist would want. Very suspicious, indeed. I’ll leave it to you gentle readers to decide if he is lying when he protested, “I do not condone vandalism or property damage or those responsible for it.” We’ll have to see if a petition is drawn up and circulated. One can never be too vigilant about who’s an enemy of the people anymore. Benicia. Here it’s the school board that has betrayed the people so miserably. All five of those elected sheeple voted Jan. 14 to return to in-class instruction beginning March 22, requiring stressed-out parents two more months of home supervision. Now the good part. Apparently, a group called Progressive Democrats of Benicia endorsed two of the five in the last election. Sound suspicious? Everyone knows how dangerous progressives are. So only those two are to be recalled. The mayor of Benicia, Steve Young, commented that the recall should be used for “malfeasance, bad behavior and other serious offenses” . . . “not because you don’t like their vote on an issue,” but what, really, does a mayor know? The governor. What a complete failure Gavin Newsom is! He was the first governor to close down a whole state (sorta like China, which has done the best of all) but the howls were so great that he opened again, then had to close again, and, well, it was just so annoying. To fight the recall he’ll probably trot out some meaningless figures like Covid-19 deaths per capita. California has 137, Texas has 157, Arizona has 224, New York has 246 and New Jersey has 265 per 100,000 residents. But don’t let those figures distract you. Don’t forget that dinner in Napa that he actually apologized for, as all politicians do, or at least some of them used to. Yes, it’s the new, rediscovered tool of Republicans. If you can’t elect the people you want, recall the winners. Jack Batson is a former member of the Fairfield City Council. Reach him by email at jsbatson@prodigy.net.

Like California law, this bill would allow 16- and 17-year-olds to register.

A huge coalition of left-wing nonprofit activist foundations, teachers and industrial unions, racial “equity” activism organizations, abortion rights groups, trial attorney associations, environmentalists and, of course, House Democrats who passed it.

Newsom quickly insisted that he had not meant to undermine Feinstein, saying she “should absolutely fill out the rest of her term” and referring to her as a friend and a mentor. Just as the air cleared from that incident, The New York Times reignited speculation by reporting that Richard Blum, Feinstein’s husband, was seeking an ambassadorship from President Joe Biden. Accompanying Blum to a distant capital would be a dignified way of exiting from the Senate, some suggested. However, Feinstein insists that she’ll remain in the Senate through her current term and has even hinted at running again in 2024. She told reporters last week that her husband “is interested” in a diplomatic post but answered “no, no, no” to questions about leaving the Senate if he gets it. Is that the end of the story? Probably not. Polls indicate that Feinstein’s popularity has waned, the Democratic left and would-be successors want her gone, and her position on maintaining the Senate’s filibuster rule will likely be the next flareup. Feinstein has a target pinned to her back. CALmatters is a public interest journalism venture committed to explaining how California’s state Capitol works and why it matters.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). There’s no definitively correct way to run your life, but it does go better when you follow your own code. If you can’t seem to stick to a rule, change it to one you’ll be more likely to keep. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It takes courage to be oneself, especially where a strong authority figure is present. Even a benevolent leader creates an atmosphere of compliance. Give yourself props for each time you are daringly yourself. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your life holds many reward systems, most of which have been unconsciously set up. Now that you know what outcome you’d like to see, you can consciously set up a reward system aligned with that outcome. CANCER (June 22-July 22). People won’t mention problems if no one asks. You have a spidey sense about such things and should definitely follow it. You’ll save yourself from the trouble that would come if small, easily handleable problems went ignored.

becomes indifferent and irrelevant to me? — Crushed Spirit Dear Crushed Spirit: You certainly have been through trauma, and it takes time to heal from traumas. You’re taking some important steps in getting support for you and your sons. Your therapist is correct in pointing out that you can’t fully understand why your wife did what she did, but you can understand yourself and how you respond to the situation. Be kind and patient with yourself and your sons. Don’t expect to get to the acceptance stage right away; just know that it will take time. You are grieving the loss of your marriage. While there might not be people who have your exact situation, there are divorce support groups for fathers. I would suggest you look up a local support group. I am so sorry that you are going through this, but you sound like an amazing father and a good person. It won’t be right away, but if each day you work on your grief and trauma, then, before you know it, you and your sons will be feeling good again and experiencing joy. This is one of those situations where it is worth reminding yourself, each day, that life is a cinch by the inch and hard by the yard. Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@ creators.com.

Sudoku

by Phillip Alder after the start to an uncontested auction of one of a minor – one of a major – one no-trump. Then responder’s rebid of two of the unbid minor is artificial. It announces at least game-invitational values, and the responder almost always hopes opener can show three-card support for his major – as in today’s diagram. North might have raised one heart to two hearts because of his weak diamond holding. But after he preferred one no-trump, South used New Minor Forcing to uncover the 5-3 heart fit. Against four hearts, West leads the diamond king. How should South continue? Note that North goes down in three no-trump if East leads a spade or a diamond. In four hearts, there is a danger of a loser in each suit. However, declarer’s basic plan should be to discard his spade loser on dummy’s club ace. So, at trick two, declarer runs the club queen. Here, it loses to East’s king. Let’s suppose he switches to the spade jack. South wins with his ace, takes his two top trumps and cashes the club ace and jack, discarding his remaining spade, whether East ruffs in or not. Declarer loses only one heart, one diamond and one club. Finally, note that NMF can also be employed after a two-no-trump rebid. COPYRIGHT: 2021, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

Oprah interview boosts viewing of ‘The Crown’ Tribune Content Agency The power of Oprah Winfrey continues to reverberate — even on platforms she’s not doing business with. Netflix’s “The Crown” is reaping the rewards from the media maven’s bombshell interview with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. Analysis of viewing data from streaming service aggregator Reelgood showed that the landmark Emmywinning series saw its daily streaming spike to double its usual daily audience following the much hyped, and much seen, interview with the embattled Duke and Duchess of Sussex. “Reelgood looked at the data to see just how big of an effect the interview actually had on recent viewership for the show and found that, at one point, it doubled the

typical volume of daily streams for the series,” marketing strategist Maria Santos said. The company also noted viewing spikes after key “real life” crown moments, such as Queen Elizabeth issuing a statement regarding racism allegations, which came out of the exclusive chat that aired on CBS on March 7. The Winfrey interview followed “The Crown” garnering four wins at this year’s Golden Globe Awards on Feb. 28. The latest season of the Peter Morgan-created historical drama revisits the drama-fueled Prince Charles and Princess Diana era. The runaway royals revealed to Winfrey that they both watched the series during the interview that drew more than 17 million viewers in America during its first airing.

SWAT, pepper Spacing: Implementation likely to vary balls used to enforce curfew From Page One

Tribune Content Agency MIAMI — Pepper balls, SWAT teams and a militarystyle vehicle rolling down Ocean Drive became the new picture Saturday night of spring break on South Beach as Miami Beach police tried to enforce an 8 p.m. curfew. The curfew, announced as part of a State of Emergency declaration made at

4 p.m., included the closure of bars and clubs on jampacked Ocean Drive. People were told to disperse. Thousands of people were still on Ocean Drive and in the city’s entertainment district at 8 p.m. To clear them out, videos showed, police turned on their lights and sirens and fired pepper balls into the crowds.

substantial caveats, including the rate of coronavirus cases in the community. It took only one day for the state of California to follow suit. L.A. County health officials have yet to formally announce their own rules – which may be more strict than the

state’s – but Paul Simon, chief science officer for the Los Angeles County Public Health Department, said Friday he was “fairly confident that we will incorporate that CDC guidance into our own guidance for schools.” How soon the new state standard will come into use seems likely to vary from

place to place. Some schools and districts have chafed at restrictive measures and are almost certain to embrace the revised rules immediately. But many school systems also have approved agreements with their teachers unions that stipulate a 6-foot desk separation. These districts include Los Angeles

Unified, the nation’s second-largest school system. Beutner said Sunday morning: “The recent CDC guidance will not change our current reopening plans. “Our challenge is convincing families that schools are safe, not finding ways to stuff more kids into classrooms.”

Homeless: Rising From Page One were in unsheltered locations such as on the street, in abandoned buildings or in other places not suitable for human habitation,” the report states as the start to its key findings. Separate California homeless data indicate that 151,278 individuals were homeless at the start of 2020, representing 20% of the national number at that time. That was the most in any state. The 2019 point-in-time survey put the number of homeless in Solano County at 1,151, though that number is widely considered low, and by some, significantly less than the actual number of homeless in the county. While the point-in-time survey is typically completed every two years, no survey was conducted in Solano County in January due to Covid-19, a county spokeswoman said. A full count will be conducted in 2022. The HUD report states, nationally, the rate of unsheltered individuals grew by 7% in 2020; the sheltered population stayed relatively the same. “For the fourth consecutive year, homelessness increased nationwide,” the report states. “Between 2019 and 2020, the number of people experiencing homelessness increased by 2 percent. This increase reflects a 7% increase in people staying outdoors, which more than offset the modest (0.6%) decline in people staying in sheltered locations.” The report states that 53% of the homeless population is found in the nation’s 50 largest cities, while 22% are in suburban areas and 20% in rural areas. The report also states that there were “172,000 people in families with children (who) exper iencing were homelessness.” Most of those people, 90%, were in sheltered situations, but the number of unsheltered people in families increased by 13%, the report states. The report also found that between 2019 and 2020, the number of unsheltered veterans increased by 6%, offset by a 3% decline in sheltered veterans. There are approximately 10,980 homeless veterans in California, according to state reports. Solano County’s survey indicated 147 homeless veterans. “Overall, the number of veterans experiencing homelessness remained unchanged, following considerable reductions in the population in prior years,” the report states.

2019 Solano point-in-time findings • More than 80% of those surveyed were classified as unsheltered. • The number of homeless veterans was 147. • The number of homeless families was 30. • The number of unaccompanied children was five. • The number of chronically homeless people was 452. • The number of unsheltered homeless people was 992. • The number of homeless children who are of transitional age was 204. • 74% were male.

The largest age group who are homeless in 2020 were individuals between 18 and 24, nearly 90% of the total; Solano County’s survey noted that 77% of the homeless were 25 or younger. “Compared to all individuals experiencing homelessness, unaccompanied youth were more often non-white (52% of youth versus 46% of all individuals), Hispanic/Latino (25% vs. 20%), female (39% vs. 29%), or identifying themselves other than as male or female (4% vs. 1%),” the report states. The report stated that African Americans and indigenous people, including Native Americans and Pacific Islanders, are “considerably overrepresented” among the homeless population compared to the general U.S. population. “People identifying as black or African American accounted for 39% of all people experiencing homelessness and 53% of people experiencing homelessness as members of families with children, but are 12%t of the total U.S. population,” the report states. “Together, American Indian, Alaska Native, Pacific Islander and Native Hawaiian populations account for 1% of the U.S. population, but 5% of the homeless population and 7% of the unsheltered population.” Individuals identifying as whites make up the largest homeless group, 48%, but that compares to 74% of the U.S. population as a whole. “People identifying as Hispanic or Latino (who can be of any race) are about 23% of the homeless population, but only 16% of the population overall,” the report states.

Kofi Cockburn of the Illinois Fighting Illini dunks the ball against Cameron Krutwig of the Loyola Ramblers during the first half in the second round game of the

2021 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana, Sunday. The Ramblers beat Illinois 71-58 to advance to the Sweet 16.

Rambling men

Loyola Chicago stuns top-seeded Illinois Tribune Content Agency INDIANAPOLIS — No. 8 seed Loyola is replicating its magical NCAA Tournament run from 2018, this time ousting No. 1 seed Illinois 71-58 for a trip to the Sweet 16. Loyola controlled the game Sunday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, relying on its trademark defense, ball sharing and big plays from its star seniors. Those elements should seem familiar to anyone who

watched the Ramblers serve upset after upset during their Final Four run three seasons ago. Illinois becomes the first No. 1 seed to go down in this year’s tournament. Even as Illinois threatened to make a run, Loyola held strong. The Ramblers led by 14 in the first half and took a 13-point lead after Illinois had cut it to 39-33 in the second half. Cameron Krutwig, L oyola’s versatile 6-foot-9 senior center,

battled Illinois counterpart Kofi Cockburn, a 7-foot sophomore, in an entertaining matchup between two different types of big men. Krutwig’s athleticism and ability to shoot away from the basket gave Illinois fits, and he finished with 19 points, 12 rebounds and five assists. Cockburn didn’t score until about 11 minutes into the first half, but he was Illinois’ most reliable force, finishing with 21 points and nine rebounds.

Loyola senior guard Lucas Williamson’s tenacious defense and 14 points helped guide the Ramblers. Illini star Ayo Dosunmu, a junior likely playing his last game in an Illinois uniform with plans to enter the NBA draft, had one of his quieter games with nine points on 4-of-10 shooting. Loyola chaplain Sister Jean cheered from the stands in her wheelchair as the Ramblers delivered another tournament upset.

Oral Roberts Syracuse holds shocks Gators off West Virginia Tribune Content Agency

Tribune Content Agency With the Sweet 16 well in sight, the Florida Gators stumbled down the stretch to blow multiple doubledigit leads against Oral Roberts and end their season with a bitter 81-78 defeat. A jump shot by Noah Locke with 9:48 remaining gave coach Mike White’s squad a 67-56 advantage, but UF fell into one of its signature offensive funks and the Gators’ sloppy play, including 20 turnovers, caught up to them against the No. 15 seeded upstart Golden Eagles. “Hard-fought game, really emotional season for these guys,” White said. “These guys are crushed.” Oral Roberts (18-10) slipped ahead during the final three minutes to continue its magical run as the NCAA Tournament’s Cinderella. “They were terrific,” White said. “What a story.” The Gators (15-10) were positioned to send Oral Roberts packing and back to Tulsa, Okla. Instead, the Golden Eagles joined the 2013 Florida Gulf Coast squad as the only No. 15 seed to advance to the Sweet 16, where Oral Roberts will face Arkansas. Meanwhile, UF suffered its first loss to a double-digit seed in the NCAA Tournament since a 2004 defeat to No. 12 seed Manhattan, a stretch of 17 matchups in the Big Dance for the Gators. Oral Roberts rallied behind the 1-2 scoring punch of guard Max Abmas and forward Kevin Obanor, who combined for 54 points – 28 by Obanor.

G L E N DA L E , Ariz. — Scott Kazmir, a starter his entire career, finally got a shot to do so for the Giants on Sunday and worked three good innings against the Dodgers. “It did feel good out there to be able to get my normal routine,” Kazmir said, adding that manager Gabe Kapler had mentioned “I need to be able differentiate the warm-up routine and be a little bit quicker when I’m in the bullpen, but today felt familiar, that’s for sure.” The only major mistake Kazmir made at Camelback Ranch was leaving a changeup up to the Cactus League’s hottest power hitter, Corey Seager, who belted a solo homer, his sixth, in the first. The Dodgers

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — For the third time in the last six years, the Syracuse Orange is in the Sweet 16 as a double-digit seed. Syracuse, the No. 11 seed in the NCAA tournament’s Midwest Region, held off West Virginia’s furious late-game charge for a 75-72 victory over the 3rd-seeded Mountaineers in the tournament’s second round on Sunday. Who outside of the most ardent Orange faithful had this team advancing to the NCAA tournament’s second weekend? Syracuse had finished the regular season in 8th-place in the ACC standings. The Orange’s 16-9 record had tenuously put it on the NCAA tournament’s bubble. On Selection Sunday, the questions surrounding Syracuse were “In or Out?’’ not “How far?’’ But now, after wins over No. 6 seed San Diego State and West Virginia, the Syracuse Orange is into the Sweet 16, repeating the achievements of a 10-seed Syracuse team in 2016 and an 11th-seeded club in 2018. “These guys deserve all the credit in the world,’’ Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said. “I mean, they’re a tough bunch. They’ve really – they’ve earned – it’s hard to make the Sweet 16. “Look around,’’ Boeheim continued. “Look at some of the teams that are out. It’s really hard to get to the Sweet 16.’’

also added another run in the second, but Kazmir might have gotten out of the inning unscathed had Brandon Crawford tagged lead runner Max Muncy after fielding a grounder by Gavin Lux rather than choosing to go to first base. The next batter, Kelbert Ruiz, singled in Muncy from second. “The cutter was there, I was able to repeat my delivery,” Kazmir said, “There’s a lot of stuff out of the stretch to still to work on, maybe get a little bit more behind the ball. . . . For me to go out there and throw strikes and stay ahead of hitters for the most part was the goal, and I was able to do that.” “I thought he made some good pitches, moved the ball up and down well,” catcher See Giants, Page B8

Matt Jones of Australia plays his shot from the 16th tee during the final round of The Honda Classic at PGA National Champion course in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, Sunday.

Jones wins after drought Tribune Content Agency PA L M BE ACH GARDENS, Fla.— Matt Jones has been grinding as a professional golfer for two decades. He’s played all over the world and he’s won more than $15 million. But this is not the success story we’re used to seeing in professional sports. Jones has missed 123 cuts on the PGA Tour, which is nearly 40 percent of the events he’s entered. He had one Tour victory and one second coming into the Honda Classic. He’s admitted to a lot of lows. “I’ve had some tough times,” Jones said. So, who can blame

the 40-year-old Australian for getting emotional minutes after his final putt to complete one of the most dominating performances since Honda moved to PGA National? The Aussie raised his right fist before his ball even reached the cup on No. 18. But that fist could have gone up about eight holes earlier, when his lead went from one shot to four as Aaron Wise was four-putting on the 10th green. Wise’s triple bogey took any drama we might have seen at the Bear Trap. Jones then completed a stress-free round of 68 to finish the tournament with a 12-under See Jones, Page B8

Creamed spinach gets promoted to star in this 1-pan meal

his recipe promotes saucy creamed spinach from the popular side dish at occasional steakhouse dinners to the center of the plate, turning it into a healthful and quick one-pan meal. Simply seasoned chicken breast, which is cooked in the skillet first, provides the satisfying protein for the dish, while its browned bits in the pan add an extra layer of flavor to the spinach. Once the cooked chicken is transferred to a plate, onion and garlic hit the skillet to soften in a little olive oil. Then comes the saucy part, with flour-thickened low-fat Ellie Krieger milk that’s simmered to a Nourish decadent, velvety creaminess – no cream needed. Ever so convenient, frozen spinach is stirred into that luscious base. (Be sure to defrost the spinach first and squeeze as much water as possible out of it; you can use that water in soups or smoothies.) Then, the creamed spinach is made cheesy and rich with a heap of Parmesan cheese, and fragrant with a handful of fresh basil ribbons. As the star of the dish, the spinach is served spooned onto the center of the plate, topped with a piece of chicken, garnished with basil leaves and, if you’d like, an extra sprinkle of Parmesan, for a fresh, nourishing way to get your green on.

Basil Cream-Spinach Chicken Skillet 35 minutes 4 servings (each serving is 1 piece of chicken and about 3⁄4 cup creamed spinach) Here, saucy creamed spinach is served topped with chicken, promoting it from the occasional steakhouse side dish to the star of the plate for a healthful, quick, one-pan meal. The spinach is made luscious with flour-thickened low-fat milk – no cream needed – along with savory Parmesan cheese and fragrant, floral basil to infuse the leafy vegetable with sumptuous flavor. Storage Notes: Leftover spinach and chicken can be refrigerated, in separate containers, for up to 3 days. 4 pieces skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 6 ounces each), pounded to 1⁄2 -inch thick 3 ⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided 1 ⁄2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 2 3⁄4 cups cold low-fat milk 1 cup diced yellow onion (about 1 medium onion) 3 cloves garlic, minced or finely grated Two (10-ounce) packages chopped frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry 1 ⁄4 cup packed fresh basil leaves, sliced into ribbons, plus whole leaves for garnish 1 ⁄4 cup (about 1 ounce) grated Parmesan cheese 1 ⁄4 teaspoon ground nutmeg Season the chicken with 1⁄4 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper. In a large, deep skillet over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil until shimmering. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm. (If you need to work in batches, cook 2 pieces of chicken in 1 tablespoon of oil each time.) While the chicken cooks, in a medium bowl or pitcher, whisk the flour into the milk until completely dissolved. In the same skillet over medium heat, heat the remaining oil until shimmering. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until tender, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds more. Add the spinach and basil and cook, stirring, until warmed through and combined, 2 to 3 minutes. Re-whisk the flour-milk mixture and add it to the pan. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to simmer. Decrease the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thick and saucy, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the cheese, nutmeg and the remaining 1⁄2 teaspoon of salt and 1 ⁄4 teaspoon of pepper, and add any accumulated juices from the plate of cooked chicken to the pan. To serve, spoon about 3⁄4 cup of the creamed spinach onto each serving plate, top each with a piece of chicken and garnish with basil leaves.

Making khichidi, ‘the chicken-noodle soup of India’

Lentils and rice and veggies and spice.

unny how rhymes occur naturally when your belly is full and warm and happy. Also funny: how there are different kinds of full. When I’m full of say, giant, baconslathered hamburger, I don’t generally feel this wonderful. Or energetic. Or healthy. Nothing against baconslathered hamburgers – all things in moderation, after all – but “research” for the Orlando Sentinel Foodie Awards is not a moderate undertaking. For the second March in a row, I’m coming in like a lion – full of meat. Fortunately, March is National Nutrition Month, and I’m looking to purge the wings and tacos and barbecue (yes, even the bests of the city!) and go out like a lamb on lentils. That’s where Hari Pulapaka and his book, “Dreaming in Spice: A Sinfully Vegetarian Odyssey” come in. Pulapaka is a jack of all trades to be sure – associate professor of mathematics at Stetson University, founder/ co-owner of Cress Restaurant in Deland, multiple James Beard Award nominee and founder and CEO at Global Cooking School – and though he strayed from his vegetarian roots not long after moving to the States from his native Mumbai, he’s found his way back with a tome featuring some 251 globally inspired recipes. Many are simple – like the one I landed on for my first foray back to this cooking column: khichidi. Pronounced with the same cadence as “chickadee,” khichidi (also khichdi, kichidi) has been a staple in Indian cuisine for centuries. “It’s modest, nutritious, proteindense and savory,” says Pulapaka of the dish. “In fact, often in many households, it’s the first type of solid food that a baby would eat, as it is savory and relatively soft in texture without garnishes.” Khichidi’s two staples: grain and

legume. Any two could form the foundation of the dish, he says, but the book’s version is decidedly Indian: lentils and rice. “White rice is the most accessible,” he explains. “But if you’re willing to be patient and want more nutrition, brown rice is even better. If you want to be edgy and eclectic, you could use Japanese forbidden rice as your base – and maybe pair it with lima beans or black-eyed peas.” So clearly, khichidi is versatile, but this recipe – among the book’s most basic – is a delight to cook (hello, one pot and done in less than an hour!), fuss-free, aromatic and ideal to warm up your belly. I subbed in King Trumpet mushrooms for the cremini since I had them in the fridge but otherwise stuck to the plan. “It’s an unfussy dish,” says Pulapaka, “especially for families and working people – easy to take with you for a healthy meal on the go and keeps really well in the fridge. It also gets better the longer it sits, as those aromatics really have a chance to sync together.” Speaking of aromatic, the dish is finished with a technique known as tadka, or tempering. Popular in Indian and other Asian cuisines, tadka is the process of briefly frying whole spices in hot oil, releasing wonderful flavors and aromas. The pan’s entire contents are then poured over and incorporated into the dish. Don’t skip it. Tempering is easy and for the flavors in the dish, lifechanging. And like the khichidi itself, tempering is also a great place for experimenting if you’re keen. “This one is a very simple version, but you can style it up with fresh green chilies, garlic, shallots, mustard seeds, fresh curry leaves and so forth,” says Pulapaka. In the end, you’ll have a rich, flavorful and gorgeous dish, veggie-laden and exceedingly nutritive. “It’s something that people would gravitate toward to gain strength and nutrition, something to make them feel better when they’re coming off of

illness,” says the chef. “To me, khichidi is the chicken-noodle soup of India.” It certainly feels like something for the soul. KHICHIDI Serves 4 Recipe from “Dreaming in Spice: A Sinfully Vegetarian Odyssey,” by Hari Pulapaka Olive or vegetable oil, as needed 1 small onion, diced ½ cup carrots, diced ¼ cup edamame or green peas 1-inch piece ginger, minced 2 green chilies or 1 jalapeño, minced ½ cup cremini mushrooms, chopped 1 bay leaf 1 teaspoon turmeric 1 cup green, brown or red lentils – rinsed and drained 4 cups vegetable stock 1 cup rice, rinsed several times and soaked 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns 1 teaspoon cumin seed ½ teaspoon cayenne or red chili powder Pinch of ground asafoetida (substitute: onion and garlic powders) Salt and pepper, in stages and to taste Suggested: fresh curry leaves, generally available at Indian markets In a shallow pot with a proper lid, heat some oil and sauté onions, carrots, ginger, bay leaf, mushrooms and chilies over medium heat for about 10 minutes. Season with salt, add lentils and turmeric. Cook about 15 minutes more, stirring frequently. Add rice and edamame, stir well, season with salt, then add stock. Taste to ensure it is seasoned to your liking. Cover pot reduce heat – low to medium – and cook 20 minutes. Open lid once at the end to ensure lentils are cooked. This is the tadka, or tempering, stage: heat some oil in small pan over mediumhigh heat. Once hot, add peppercorns, cayenne, asafoetida, cumin seeds and curry leaves. Fry about 15 seconds. Pour everything, including infused oil, over the rice and lentils. Gently mix. Serve with a wedge of lime and cilantro garnish. A dollop of yogurt is a nice optional add, as well.

Crunchy curried chicken salad a quick meal Gretchen McK ay

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

ight but still satisfying, chicken salad is the ultimate girls’ lunch menu item. But it also can be dressed up with fruits and spices to create a quick and easy weeknight meal. It’s easier still if you use a grocery store rotisserie chicken, which somehow always seem juicier than the birds I roast at home and takes just a few minutes to pick and chop into bitesized pieces. I like to use a mix of mayonnaise and plain Greek yogurt for the dressing, and always stir in a teaspoon or two of curry powder to add a little pizazz. This recipe also includes raisins that have been softened in a little hot water, chopped Granny Smith apple and the peppery bite

This curried rotisserie chicken salad gets its crunch from toasted almonds and diced Granny Smith apples. of scallions. Toasted sliced almonds are a must, both for the added crunch and nutty flavor. If you feel like adding chopped dried apricot, fresh grapes, dried cherries or other dried fruits, go right ahead. I serve the chicken salad on fresh baby salad greens, but it also can be scooped on top of a thick piece of

crusty bread for an openfaced sandwich, or stuffed into a roll or between two slices of bread. The salad keeps in the fridge for up to three days, which means if there’s leftovers, you can spoon it onto crackers to enjoy as a midmorning snack. At least I did, and it made the work day that much tastier. CRUNCHY CURRIED CHICKEN SALAD Serves 4 ¼ cup mayonnaise ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt 2 teaspoons curry powder, or more to taste Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1½ heaping cups cubed or shredded rotisserie chicken 3 scallions, white and green parts, chopped ½ large green apple, such as Granny Smith, diced

⁄3 cup raisins, soaked in hot water to soften ¼ cup toasted sliced almonds Handful of fresh, leafy lettuce 4 thick slices crusty bread for an open-face sandwich, or 8 slices for a regular sandwich In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, yogurt and curry powder. Then add a generous pinch of salt and a good grind of black pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings. Add cooked chicken, scallions and apple and stir until well combined. (If the salad isn’t creamy enough, add a little more mayo or yogurt.) Fold in raisins and toasted almonds. Stir to combine well. Serve chicken salad tucked between two slices of bread as a sandwich or spooned on top of fresh mixed greens as a salad. Recipe from Gretchen McKay 1

How ‘Genius: Aretha’ makes her come alive with iconic wardrobe

Crossword

Tribune Content Agency Aretha Franklin knew what becomes a legend most. She liked to wear “onstage outfits as dramatic as her four-octave voice,” as Glamour declared. The Queen of Soul loved fashion, understood the power of fashion and, at one point, contemplated entering the business of fashion herself. “There is an interview that I came across in my research where she mentioned (the possibility of) doing a fashion line. Somewhere in the back of her head, that was on her list of things to do,” says costume designer Jennifer Bryan, who studied the Detroit diva’s incomparable looks for the National Geographic series “Genius: Aretha,” which debuts Sunday. Bryan grew up in Jamaica and earned a fashion degree Brooklyn’s Pratt Institute before building a career in costuming for movies and television. Her costume design credits include AMC’s “Better Call Saul,” “Halt and Catch Fire” and “Breaking Bad” and the CW’s “Vampire Diaries” and “The Originals.” “Genius: Aretha” is one of her most complex projects yet. It involved thousands of costumes and required hundreds of extras to be in period clothing for certain scenes. Most crucially, Bryan had to create or find outfits to accurately depict Franklin’s clothing from the 1950s, when she was singing her first solos at her father’s church in Detroit, through the decades that followed. Bryan scoured decades’ worth of publications for photos of Franklin, from music trade publications to magazines like Ebony and Jet aimed at Black readers to, yes, the singing superstar’s hometown newspaper, the Free Press. “I probably curated over 1,000 photographs of the time (periods) and specific ones of Aretha Franklin herself and her family and her father. The further you go back, the harder they were to find,” she says. Though the visual history was an invaluable guide, the pictures had their limitations, especially the early snapshots. Says Bryan, “There were instances where I had to replicate what she wore to some specific events, and some of those (photos) were in black and white, and I was like: ‘Oh my God, is that dress silver? Is it gold? Is it blue or pink?’” Another hurdle? Finding matches for certain vintage fabrics to achieve the right look, fit and draping. “You think fabrics are around for ever? They’re not,” explains Bryan. “Forget about the print or the color. Just the actual weave or texture of fabrics change. The polyester back then is not the polyester we have now.” Sometimes, the perfect look was just waiting to be discovered. One of the standout costumes in the series is an orange, green and burgundy knit suit worn

Oscar nominee Cynthia Erivo, above, plays Aretha Franklin with Malcolm Barrett as her husband/manager Ted White. by actress Cynthia Erivo, who plays Franklin, in scenes involving 1967 recording sessions in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. “That is actually a vintage piece that I found. It was just like a miracle. It really was. It was in immaculate shape. No holes, no snags, no faded colors. It was like, ‘Ahhhh,” says Bryan, imitating a choir of angels. “And it fit Cynthia to a T.” Among the outfits designed by Bryan, one of her favorites came from a drawing she made after meeting with “Genius: Aretha” executive producer Suzan-Lori Parks about the job. “I didn’t know I ‘had it’ had it, but I felt it,” she recalls. “That evening, I sketched this navy silk velvet gown that has black and iridescent coque feathers that just wrap around her body. . . . I went, ‘If I get this job, (I’m using) that gown!’” Bryan praises Erivo for understanding the messaging that happens with clothes. “She’s very collaborative and . . . in her own personal style, she’s adventurous. You’ve seen her red carpet looks. She’s willing to step out of her own comfort zone and try different things.” A sense of adventure helped because Franklin’s style was always evolving with the latest trends. Although she loved sequins, feathers, furs and beading for her ultra-sophisticated formal gowns, she also embraced a variety of casual wear, from mod, fitted dresses in the 1960s to flowing caftans in the early 1970s like the ones she wore for her performances at a Los Angeles church that became the “Amazing Grace” gospel album and documentary.

Bryan had extreme difficulty locating a fabric that matched or even resembled the green silk caftan that Franklin donned for those sessions. “It had a large, what I would call exploded, paisley print. Couldn’t find it. Searched high and low.” Finally, she had to have a fabric custommade to replicate the caftan. Franklin’s clothes spoke to the awareness and sensitivity that she brought to every occasion. She knew what was appropriate to wear, whether it was to accept a major award as a performer or show her support for civil rights as an activist. Bryan notes that Franklin, who spoke out about the need for designer fashions in larger sizes, had a contemporary take on body image. “Nowadays, we talk about being body positive and comfortable in your size. I think she was ahead of the curve with that. . . . She worked with her body as her body changed.” “He had a very bespoke style. It was dapper, absolutely dapper” If Bryan regrets anything about working on “Genius: Aretha,” it’s that she would have wanted to cover even more of Franklin’s life and signature fashions. “I wish we had had two more episodes that I could have gone right up to the Obama inauguration,” says Bryan, referring to Franklin’s iconic gray ensemble and matching hat with the enormous bow. But she’ll settle for the decades that “Genius: Aretha” does cover. “I feel so very honored and humbled to have done the show. I just hope that I did Ms. Franklin’s style and her legacy justice.”

So he made his natural rebid of two clubs, exactly what he would have done if East had passed, and South had responded one heart. Then South plunged into three no-trump.

He was clearly going to get a second spade trick but still needed to establish and run dummy’s club suit. However, that meant losing the lead twice.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an "eligible tenant buyer," you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an "eligible bidder," you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase.

Giants: Beat L.A. From Page B1 Buster Posey said. Kazmir also got to face most of the Dodgers regulars, striking out four – including Mookie Betts looking at a fastball in a 1-2-3 third inning. Kazmir said, facing “that type of caliber of players really kind of it speeds up the learning curve. . . . You get a lot of feedback on how your stuff plays.” Kazmir, 37, is nominally in the hunt for a rotation spot as he tries to restart his big-league career for the second time, but he’s indicated he’d be

OK opening the season in Triple-A Sacramento’s rotation. Might conversations about his bullpen warm-up routine suggest he’s potentially in the Giants plans as a long man? “Wherever the chips fall, that’s how it’s going to be,” he said. “I’m just going out there and trying to get better every day.” Kapler said the team isn’t getting locked into any one particular role for Kazmir, but they are preparing him as a “bulk innings’ pitcher, be that out of the bullpen or rotation “with a lean toward starting.”

Jones: Grabs win From Page B1 268, equaling the secondlowest four-round total since Honda moved to PGA National. His fiveshot margin over Brandon Hagy equals the widest victory margin in Honda Classic history, which dates to 1972. “That’s the best I’ve hit it from tee to green for . . . ever,” Jones said. “And to be able to do it on this golf course is amazing.” In recent years, the Honda Classic is where young golfers have made their bones.

announcers. Her knowledge is extensive, spanning multiple sports, and she takes pride in her versatility. Mowins has called NCAA championships in basketball, softball, soccer and volleyball. For the last 15 years, Mowins has been calling college football playby-play for ESPN and ABC. In 2017, she also worked four NFL games for CBS Sports and has been the play-by-play announcer for Oakland Raiders preseason games since 2015. For more than two decades, she has been the voice of the Women’s College World Series. Mowins expects her experience calling softball games to help in her new role. “At its heart, the language of the game, the vocabulary of the game, if you will, is pretty much the same,” Mowins said. “Working off of that foundation is right in my comfort zone, so that’s absolutely beneficial just to be able to talk the talk and then find the opportunities based on what’s happening in game.” Mowins heard from her agent that Marquee might need people to fill the playby-play role at times. Her name was added to the mix, and after a conversation with the network, everything aligned for Mowins. Marquee general manager Mike McCarthy and senior vice president of programming and production Mike Santini

collaborated with Cubs president of business operations Crane Kenney and the team during the process to find a new play-by-play announcer following Len Kasper’s departure. McCarthy told the Tribune recently that they collectively wanted to be more progressive in whom they hired. Several candidates were considered, including women, McCarthy said, before ultimately naming Jon “Boog” Sciambi as Marquee’s lead TV play-by-play announcer. Sciambi remains a broadcaster for ESPN, creating a need for someone to fill in when he has national broadcasts. Mowins, Chris Myers and Pat Hughes will take on the play-byplay call for select Cubs games this season. Mowins’ experience and credibility made her an easy choice, McCarthy said. “We watched a lot of tape of her doing the collegiate softball World Series on ESPN, softball – obviously, there’s enough similarities,” McCarthy said. “She has a real ability to work color commentators in seamlessly and she knows the game. . . . She hasn’t done Major League Baseball, but she’s come as close as you can without actually doing it, and I don’t think anybody around her and familiar with her work would have anything but confidence that she’s going to be able to do quite nicely here.” The expectation is

careers at Honda. Jones’ career is in a far different spot than the 20-somethings, having turned pro in 2001 and joining the PGA Tour seven years later. But his trophy case was nearly as bare. Honda was Jones’ 330th career start and just his second Tour victory after the 2014 Houston Open. He also has two Australian Open titles to his credit. Jones’ two Tour wins have come in his 156th and 330th career starts. Which explains that brief emotional outburst. “Golf, it’s a very tough sport we play out here,” he said when asked where that emotion came from.

Mowins will call five to six Cubs games this season. The Cactus League game Saturday against the Colorado Rockies was the first time Mowins and color analyst Jim Deshaies worked together, though the game was called remotely. Deshaies said the preparation process for a game doesn’t change when working with a new partner. He lauded Mowins’ smarts and professionalism and looked forward to teaming up. They share a similar background, too, having both lived in central New York. Mowins is a native of North Syracuse and earned a master’s degree from Syracuse University; Deshaies attended Le Moyne College in Syracuse. “She’s a pioneer in our business,” Deshaies told the Tribune. “She’s done a lot of great things. I’ll probably have to make sure I don’t just interview her, ‘So tell me about this.’ ” From a young age, Mowins always knew she wanted to be a sports broadcaster. Inherently, that has meant breaking ground as a woman in the field. “You understand there’s a little more attention around it,” Mowins said. “But honestly, when you’re going through it day to day, it’s all I’ve ever known and all I’ve ever wanted to do, so from that standpoint, you want to be at your best when you’re doing something like this, and the hope is that even though I’m the

first, I won’t be the last. You want to try to open doors and open opportunities and knock it out of the park, if you will.” Her role with Marquee and the Cubs isn’t the first time she has made history. Mowins became the first woman to call a nationally televised NFL game when she worked an ESPN “Monday Night Football” doubleheader in September 2017. It also represented the first time a woman did the play-by-play for any NFL game in 30 years. Mowins values those moments and the responsibilities they bring. A moment before her “Monday Night Football” debut five years ago stays with her. Mowins was on the field pregame when somebody started yelling at her from the stands. She saw parents with their little girl, who was wearing an ESPN T-shirt and holding a microphone. The girl held up a sign: “I’ve got next.” “It’s pretty cool to see that,” Mowins said. “I really, truly believe if you see it, you can be it. That’s something that I’ve really learned to appreciate over the years. “To be able to pursue your dreams and be ambitious and want to go after things and try to get them – even if that means you’re a Cubs fan and one day you want to be playing at Wrigley or you want to be calling games at Wrigley, then through a lot of hard work and some good fortune, that’s a possibility.”
