Supervisors seek $159M in earmark funding Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Two transportation projects totaling $8 million and two park projects top the list of priorities Solano County will submit for federal Community Project Funding.

The list will go to Rep. John Garamendi, D-Walnut Grove, and Rep. Mike Thompson, D-St. Helena, to be included among the 10 projects each can request for the earmark dollars.

The first transportation project is for the Highway 37 and Fairgrounds Drive interchange project, which is viewed as critical for the Solano360 project

as well as a general economic benefit to that part of Vallejo.

The second is for the Vaca Valley Parkway and Interstate 505 Multimodal Improvement Project.

The county is also requesting $867,648 for improvements at Lake Solano, in part due to the damage from the LNU Lightning Complex Fire.

There was no dollar amount attached to the other park project, which is to complete trail access for people with disabilities at the Patwino Worrtla Kodoi Dihi Open Space Park, formerly known as Rockville Trails Preserve.

Supervisors raise prospect of Solano County building affordable housing Todd R. Hansen

FAIRFIELD — Solano County Supervisor Monica Brown on Tuesday wanted to know why housing for the homeless was not a priority for new federal earmark funding.

Brown noted that the board hears all the time about the need, but never seems to be doing anything to meet that need.

“There is nothing here for housing our homeless,” Brown said during the discussion on setting priorities for the federal Community

Project Funding.

The program, brought back this year in the House of Representatives, gives lawmakers the power to direct spending to their districts to pay for special projects or programs.

It had been banned since 2011.

Brown was told that the county is not in the housing development business, and has no specific project to put up for the funding.

Bloomberg More than 3.1 million Americans ages 55 or older plan to apply for Social Security benefits earlier than they once thought because of the pandemic, according to the Census Bureau.

That’s offset by 1.4 million people in the same age group who anticipate working longer due to the impact of Covid-19, according to the bureau’s latest Household Pulse survey conducted between March 3-15.

The upshot is a net 1.7 million early retirements, which will likely mean more positions opening up for younger Americans.

Older workers – the so-called baby boomers – have accounted for essentially all of the more than 17 million jobs created in the U.S. since 2000.

I sat like a queen on a throne, while being served all manner of food, drink, two slices of cake and a whole lot of sweaty hugs from grandkids running wild.

I kept looking from face to face giving each of them – children and adults alike – the smile that I give just to them, or to most anyone I truly like. And they, in turn, smiled back in a way that will always melt my heart.

I may never have the kind of strength and grace that God gave my grandmothers. But I am blessed with a great many gifts: A faith that props me up in good times and bad. A husband and family to love and feel loved by in return.

Ears that listen and a voice that is sometimes heard. Wealth to share, but none to flaunt. And a clear sense, if not always acceptance, of who I am.

It’s hard to explain how two women, whose lives were so different from each other’s, had such a similar impact on mine.

Maybe it’s as simple as this: What I loved most about them was how much they loved me. Who doesn’t love being loved?

After college, I left my family in the South and moved to California, to marry and start a new family. I tried to keep in touch with phone calls, letters and occasional visits, but my new life left little room for the old life I’d left behind.

Over time, I lost most of the family I grew up in, including my grandmothers. But I never lost their love. People leave, but love remains. We don’t need to be in the same room to feel it.

Solano board raises attention to children’s issues in April Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIR F IELD — Solano County supervisors turned the spotlight Tuesday on children, adopting two resolutions recognizing a host of related observances.

Supervisor Erin Hannigan presented the resolutions.

The first resolution proclaims April as “Children’s Month” in Solano County, in support of several designated children’s issues that occur in April.

Those include Autism Acceptance Month/ Day (April 2).

“The autism community is asking that we shift our language by using the term Autism Acceptance as a way to foster acceptance and ignite change through improved support and opportunities in education, employment, accessible housing, affordable health care and comprehensive long-term services. Celebrate Autism Acceptance Month by lighting up a blue light all month long . . .,” the staff

report to the board states.

The resolution also recognizes the Week of the Young Child (April 10-16); the 50th anniversary of National Library Week (April 4-10) and El Dia de los Libros (April 30); and the Month of the Military Child.

The board also recognized, in a second resolution, April as “National Child Abuse Prevention” Month “to acknowledge the importance of families and communities working together to prevent child abuse and neglect.”

“The Solano Children’s Alliance/Solano Child Abuse Prevention Council sponsor the Solano Blue Ribbon Campaign each April during Child Abuse Prevention Month to heighten Solano residents’ awareness of child abuse and the need to support families to help prevent it,” the staff report states. fol low i n g T he observances are also recognized: Children’s Light of Hope Day (April 20) See Issues, Page A4

FAIRFIELD — The Solano County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday awarded $10,000 in state Fish & Game grants recommended by the county Parks and Recreation Commission.

The Napa-Solano Audubon Society received $2,500 to study the success or failure of four colonies of threatened tri-colored blackbirds in Solano County, and the Suisun Wildlife Center also received $2,500 to help rebuild its songbird aviary that was destroyed in a June arson fire.

Other awards included $2,346 to the Greater Vallejo Recreation District for its Trout in the Classroom program; $2,304 to the Suisun Resource Conservation District for a survey drone; and $350 to the Camp Fire Golden Empire for Vallejo outreach efforts.

The board action was taken as part of the consent calendar without comment.

Solano enacts urgency ban on new wind turbines

Wind turbines produce electricity in the Montezuma Hills near Rio Vista, June 1, 2020.

to protect Travis operations

Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Solano County supervisors voted unanimously Tuesday to support an urgency ordinance prohibiting any new wind turbines to be placed in the unincorporated area of the county.

The ordinance is for 45 days, but the county is expected to extend that in order to have enough time to look at a perma-

nent ordinance.

There was no board or public comment on the matter.

The issue is the impacts the turbines have on the radar systems at Travis Air Force Base. The primary concern has been with the civilian air traffic control operation on base.

“It’s an issue that we have been dealing with off and on . . . well, it goes back to the 1990s, really,” Assistant County Administrator

Bill Emlen said.

He is the former director of the Department of Resource Management, which handles the planning and permitting of the turbines.

A line-of-sight policy was enacted in 2015 by the Solano County Airport Land Use Commission, but the interest in developing wind farms continues to rise – especially in the Montezuma Hills area.

What pushed the

urgency this time is a proposal for Solano County going through a state agency for turbines that are 800 feet tall, close to 200 feet taller than any other in the county right now.

“At least for now, we would like to put a hold on . . . any more wind turbines,” Emlen said. “I think it is something we would want in place until the radar issue is resolved.”

Two C-5s received the modifications prior to the contract. Modifications on the remaining aircraft are scheduled to begin June 28 and conclude

by July 2025.

Designed to improve the performance and effectiveness of the aircraft, the modifications will upgrade the core mission computer and color weather radar system, the communications, navigation, surveillance and air traffic management system, as well as the pylon hydraulic check valves. In addition, the large aircraft infrared countermeasures system onboard will receive an upgrade.

“This contract is a big deal,” said Capt. Denzel Varnado, the directorate’s

alternate modification installation program manager. “This contract ensures that we are not only able to get the warfighter these upgraded weapon systems (C-5s) quickly, but to also have the flexibility to make changes as required.

These advantages are a huge win for the C-5 platform and our troops. As the Air Force becomes more agile, a contract like this will play a key role in our success.”

The contract is designed to shorten the time it takes to install modifications in order to get the aircraft back into the field and supporting operations around the world faster.

In this case, modifications on the C-5 will take

46 days per aircraft versus the three months per aircraft – pending program maintenance depot requirements and speedline constraints – that it would have taken through traditional contracts.

This is the first time the directorate has used an alternate modification installation contract, which is a small-business contract that allows the business to play a supporting role to Air Force depots, where major repair, maintenance and modifications on aircraft generally take place.

The contract is specifically designed to focus on avionics, electrical and mechanical modifications as opposed to structural modifications, which will be left to depots.

Logistics Center proposal goes before Suisun planning group Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

SUISUN CITY — Residents can sound off Tuesday at the Planning Commission meeting about a proposed project believed to be the city’s first major industrial project.

The site is currently located within unincorporated Solano County and would need to be annexed into the city by the Solano Local Agency Formation Commission and will require various other city approvals before it can begin construction.

The Highway 12 Logistics Center project, proposed by Sacramentobased Buzz Oates Inc., plans to construct more than 1.2 million square feet of new industrial space south of Highway 12 and north of Cordelia Road, fronting both sides

of Pennsylvania Avenue.

Buzz Oates Inc. in a letter to the city in December noted the project shows more than $500 million in ongoing economic impact.

It also noted there would be $145 million in onetime construction impacts and 775 one-time construction jobs. of the “Buildout Highway 12 Logistics Center must not only be strategic in planning for the present, but ultimately the future,” the letter reads. “The developer expects to invest significant capital in the city of Suisun City spanning the course of multiple decades, which will result in significant employment opportunities for the community.”

Six new buildings are planned to be built in See Center, Page A6

Police: Fairfield teen remains alive after shooting Easter Sunday Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — A young man wanted in connection with an Easter Sunday shooting that left a Vanden High junior listed in “very critical condition” surrendered to police Tuesday afternoon while accompanied by legal representation.

The shooting victim, identified by many as Daniel Hughes, was shot inside a car by another passenger, the Fairfield Police Department reported.

Sgt. John Divine would not confirm the name

of the teen, but said the victim was one of two teens and an adult male riding in a car when a gun went off at approximately 4:30 p.m. Sunday on the 1000 block of Broadway Street.

He said the victim was still alive as of 4:15 p.m. Tuesday.

James S.S. Williams, 18, of Fairfield, is believed to be the shooter, but authorities are not sure if the shooting was intentional or “a horrific accident,” Divine said earlier Tuesday.

The second teen in the car has been talking to

investigators, but Divine said he did not know what he may have told the detectives of the Fairfield Police Department’s Major Crimes Unit.

“This was an isolated incident, and not gangrelated,” the police said in a statement released earlier Tuesday by Divine.

Williams was arrested at 3:25 p.m., according to jail records.

Those jail records show that he was held on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, willful discharge of a firearm with gross negligence, carrying a loaded

handgun he did not own, being a minor in illegal possession of a concealed weapon and being a minor in illegal possession of ammunition, all felonies.

Bail was set at a combined $105,000. Williams is scheduled to appear in court Thursday.

A GoFundMe page, established early Tuesday with a $5,000 goal, had garnered almost three times that amount as of 6 p.m.

Tuesday. The goal has since been raised to $15,000.

Amy Maginnis-Honey, Todd R. Hansen and Glen Faison contributed to this report.

PG&E faces another criminal case as DA files charges in Kincade fire Tribune Content Agency SACRAMENTO — Pacific Gas & Electric is facing criminal charges again following a massive California wildfire – in this case, the worst incident of the 2019 fire season.

The Sonoma County district attorney indicted the state’s largest utility Tuesday in connection with the Kincade fire, the October 2019 wildfire that didn’t kill anyone but forced the evacuation of nearly 200,000 residents.

The Sonoma case shows that PG&E, nearly a year removed from a Chapter 11 bankruptcy driven by wildfire liabilities, continues to struggle with fire risk and its legal consequences. Last month the California Department of Forestry and Fire Prevention blamed PG&E for last September’s Zogg fire, which killed four people in Shasta County, and referred the case to the Shasta district attorney’s office for possible prosecution.

And last summer the San Francisco-based utility pleaded guilty to 85 counts of manslaughter after a faulty transmission tower sparked the deadliest wildfire in California history, the 2018 Camp fire in Paradise.

Criminal charges against a corporation generally end with a fine and little else. The Par-

Luis Sinco/Los Angeles Times/TNS file (2019)

The Soda Ranch winery along State Highway 128 near Healdsburg is consumed by the Kincade fire early Sunday morning, Oct. 27, 2019. adise case ended with a $4 million fine – and a Butte County Superior Court judge’s lament that, under the law, he couldn’t send utility executives to prison.

Jill Ravitch, the Sonoma district attorney, said PG&E Corp. was being charged with five felonies and 28 misdemeanors in the Kincade fire, including charges of recklessly causing a fire with great bodily injury.

Kincade was particularly controversial because PG&E had imposed one of its “public safety power shutoffs” in the region due to high winds, but hadn’t blacked out its transmission lines because it believed its transmission towers, which tend to be at a relatively safe distance from trees, wouldn’t pose

a wildfire risk. California Gov. Gavin Newsom was so incensed that he raised the possibility of staging a takeover of PG&E, which was still in bankruptcy at the time.

Since then, the utility has become more aggressive about shutting down its transmission system during wind storms.

Transmission lines carry power in bulk over large distances.

The Oct. 23, 2019, fire began when a jumper cable broke on a transmission tower near Geyserville, causing molten metal to ignite the dry vegetation below. The fire seriously injured six firefighters, burned 78,000 acres and destroyed 374 homes and other buildings.

“I went with others from my time, along with Cal Fire, to the location in the Geysers where we believe the fire began as soon as it was safe to do so,” Ravitch said in a prepared statement. “Since that time, we have been working with Cal Fire and independent experts to determine the cause of and responsibility for the Kincade fire. I believe this criminal complaint reflects our findings.” Cal Fire had already blamed PG&E for the fire.

The utility, however, said it plans to fight the charges.

“In the spirit of working to do what’s right for the victims, we will accept Cal Fire’s finding that a PG&E transmission line caused the fire, even though we have not had access to the agency’s report or the evidence it gathered,” the company said in a written statement. “However, we do not believe there was any crime here. We remain committed to making it right for all those impacted and working to further reduce wildfire risk on our system.”

The evacuation was the largest in Sonoma County history, including all of Healdsburg, Windsor and Geyserville. PG&E has already said it believes it will have to spend as much as $625 million paying for the damages from the Kincade fire.

Gov. Newsom expects K-12 schools to be open full time in fall Tribune Content Agency LOS ANGELES — All K-12 California schools should be open in the fall for full-time, five-daysa-week , i n-per son instruction under guidelines released Tuesday by state officials.

Gov. Gavin Newsom stopped short Tuesday of saying this guidance would become a mandate, but added that he is considering additional measures, as necessary, to make sure that schoolchildren are not left behind on June 15, when the state has scheduled a sweeping economic reopening.

Newsom said campuses at all levels, including higher education, should be open. He added this is consistent with his actions to date to reopen classrooms, which have included financial incentives and

accelerated vaccinations for school employees.

“I want kids back in school safely for in-person instruction,” the governor said at a news conference in San Francisco. “We’ve made this crystal clear.”

Newsom left open the possibility of more definitive action in coordination with the Legislature, “but there will be no barrier to having our kids back in inperson instruction and that is the expectation.”

He added: “You’ll be hearing more about our efforts to more firmly and foundationally advance that cause.”

The language in the guidelines sets a clear goal: “Schools and institutions of higher education should conduct full-time, in person instruction, in compliance with Cal/ OSHA emergency temporary standards and public

health guidelines.”

The question of what will happen in the fall has worried parents up and down the state, including in the Los Angeles Unified School District.

The nation’s secondlargest school system will begin to open campuses gradually next week after more than a year of distance learning in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The district’s hybrid format will continue to rely heavily on remote instruction.

Elementary-level students will be able to attend classes in person five days a week, but only half-time.

Middle and high school students will be able to return to campus, but once there, they will remain in one classroom from which they will continue with their online class schedule, taught by teachers

in other locations. Meanwhile, the teacher in the room also will be working online with students in various classrooms.

So far, about 3 in 10 students will be returning, based on survey results.

Many families have ongoing safety concerns while others are opting to keep students home based on dissatisfaction with the hybrid plan. One new parents group, California Students United, has been soliciting donations to file a lawsuit to compel the district to provide fulltime in-person education.

A similar effort met with substantial success in San Diego County.

Still other parents say they are willing to tolerate the hybrid format for the remainder of the current academic year provided that schools reopen full time in the fall.

Plans to reopen Suisun City Hall depend on Covid-19 status Amy Maginnis-Honey

amaginnis@dailyrepublic.net

SUISUN CITY — City Hall may open its doors as early as Monday, dependent upon what tier Solano County is in next week.

City Hall staff is getting their Covid-19 vaccinations, said City Manager Greg Folsom, who shared the news at Tuesday’s City Council meeting.

He also addressed the upcoming $5.5 million the city plans to receive from the federal America Rescue Plan, the latest Covid-19 relief bill.

Folsom, who recently celebrated his second anniversary in the post, said he’s following the news closely and expects the city to get about $2.7 million in the first payment.

Covid-19 also surfaced as City Attorney Anthony Taylor addressed the mask mandate.

The city follows the regulations established by the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health, he said.

“We have tight quarters here,” he said. “We need to keep people safe.”

There was a discussion during the meeting on Councilman Mike Hudson’s nomination of Tom Alder to the city’s public safety committee.

Mayor Lori Wilson said she would vote no, saying Alder was antagonistic and had verbally accosted Folsom.

She was joined by Vice Mayor Wanda Williams, who said she would not vote for Alder’s appointment.

Wilson has not wrapped up her nominations, so the topic will return at a future City Council meeting.

Councilwoman Alma Hernandez said she wanted to do further research on the former Suisun City police chief.

‘Harry Potter,’ ‘Chernobyl’ actor Ritter dead at 54 Tribune Content Agency Paul Ritter, an accomplished actor who appeared in massive film franchises such as “Harry Potter” and the James Bond series before a prominent role in the Emmy-winning “Chernobyl,” has died at age 54.

The British star died after a battle with a brain tumor, his agent told Variety.

“It is with great sadness we can confirm that Paul Ritter passed away last night,” the agent told the outlet in a report published early Tuesday.

“He died peacefully at home with his wife Polly and sons Frank and Noah by his side.”

Ritter racked up dozens of acting credits between movies, TV

shows and stage productions during a career that began with mostly television roles in the early 1990s.

Ritter appeared in numerous Hollywood productions during the 2000s, including portraying a member of the enigmatic Quantum group in the 2008 Bond movie “Quantum Solace,” which stars Daniel Craig as 007.

The following year, Ritter played a wizard named Eldred Worple in “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” which is the sixth movie in the series.

In 2009, Ritter also appeared in “Nowhere Boy,” a film directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson that centers on John Lennon’s early life.

When people are unhappy, they lash out at the ones they love the most. While it is certainly hurtful, understanding this can allow you to see your sister-in-law with more compassion. You’ve been through a lot together, and I can hear the resentment brewing. Rather than letting this boil over, let cooler heads prevail.

If you don’t think you and your wife will be happy with your sister-in-law living with you, then don’t live together.

You can still be close – from a distance. And if, after some time apart, she has a steady job and is respectful to you and your wife, then I’m all for helping family out temporarily.

But if she acts entitled and does not take accountability for her actions, then show her some tough love and let her find a place on her own. Whichever you choose, set some ground rules from the beginning.

MURDER TRIAL OF DEREK CHAUVIN

Outside expert testifies about numerous signs that Floyd was no longer resisting Tribune Content Agency MINNEAPOLIS — A leading use-of-force expert with one of the nation’s largest urban police depar tments test ified Tuesday in Derek Chauvin’s murder trial that the evidence from George Floyd’s arrest late last spring showed him there were numerous clear signs that the nowfired Minneapolis officer should have eased up on his use of force.

Los Angeles police Sgt. Jody Stiger’s conclusions followed testimony earlier Tuesday from two Minneapolis police officers with experience in crisis intervention and use of force about proper procedures during the seventh day of testimony in Hennepin County District Court, with one of them saying that Chauvin’s knee on Floyd’s neck was not part of department training.

Stiger, a member of the nation’s largest police force with roughly 9,000 sworn officers, was hired by the prosecution to review relevant video from the scene, court records and training and policy material in preparation for his testimony.

Asked to sum up his analysis of what he learned about Floyd’s arrest, Stiger said, “My opinion is that the force was excessive.”

“Initially, when Mr. Floyd was being placed in the back seat of the vehicle, the officers were justified in trying to have him comply and sit in the back seat of the vehicle,” the sergeant said. “However, once he was placed in the prone position on the ground, he slowly ceased his resistance and the officers – or ex-officers, I should say – should have slowed down or stopped their force.”

Besides Floyd backing off his resistance, Stiger said other factors the officers should have considered when weighing use of force include the nature of the original alleged offense, in Floyd’s case the passing of a counterfeit $20 bill at Cup Foods at 38th Street and Chicago Avenue on May 25.

“Typically, in a normal situation” for what the sergeant said called low-level offense, “you wouldn’t expect to use any force.”

Stiger also said he could hear on one of the videos Floyd say “thank you” to the officers once they got him out of the squad and on his knees while still handcuffed behind his back.

From there, Floyd can be seen being placed on his chest in the prone position.

Stiger noted that he saw Floyd one time “kicked their arms in an attempt to possibly break free from the officers’ grasp.”

Chauvin then asked for what is known as a “hobble,” a nylon strap that connects a suspect’s ankles and waistline in order to prevent kicking.

However, after that one kick, police changed their mind and did not put the hobble on Floyd.

Stiger explained that decision to reverse course: “Based on my review, I would believe that he was starting to comply, and his aggression was starting to cease.”

Prosecutor Steve Schleicher then asked whether the compliance continued, and Stiger said it did throughout the more than nine minutes Floyd remained pinned on the pavement by Chauvin until paramedics arrived.

Tuesday ended with Stiger still on the stand and with the defense yet to cross examine the prosecution’s hired witness.

At the day’s start, Minneapolis police Sgt.

Ker Yang, who serves as the department’s crisis intervention training coordinator, and Lt. Johnny Mercil, who oversees MPD’s use of force training, became the seventh and eighth current or former Minneapolis police officers to testify. That included Chief Medaria Arradondo.

Yang testified that in his job he coordinates with civilian mental health professionals to train officers who encounter people in crisis situations, such as mental health issues.

Although Yang was never directly asked about Chauvin’s actions, he discussed the best practices in dealing with people in crisis, or a situation “beyond a person’s coping mechanism. What it is beyond their control, they don’t know what to do.”

That could also include people under the influence of drugs and alcohol or suffering from anxiety.

Yang said he trains officers to “bring them back down.”

“When it is safe and feasible, we shall de-escalate,” Yang said, adding that the model for crisis intervention focuses on voice, neutrality, respect and trust. “It is useful, and it is practical.”

He was followed by Mercil, who explained to the jury when two specific neck restraints are allowed on a subject: whether it is one that renders a suspect unconscious to counter “active aggression” or one that keeps someone conscious while offering the lesser “active resistance.”

He testified about “red zones,” where injury tends to range from serious to long lasting and could include serious bodily injury or death. Areas included the head, neck and sternum, among others.

Mercil was shown a photo from the viral bystander video of Floyd under Chauvin’s knee and then asked whether that tactic is part of department training that Chauvin and all other officers have received.

“No, sir,” the lieutenant said. At the same time, he acknowledged that department policy does not explicitly forbid such an act, but he added that this position should stop once a suspect is handcuffed and under control, as Floyd was that night.

During cross examination, defense attorney Eric Nelson offered for the first time a series of photographs from Officer Thomas Lane’s body camera. Mercil agreed they show Chauvin’s knee and shin on Floyd’s shoulder area. The images offer four moments within a five-minute span.

After viewing those photos, Nelson asked Mercil, “Does this appear to be a neck restraint?” He responded with “no.”

Nelson also raised with questions of a general nature about whether suspects Mercil has ever arrested “at times are making excuses,” say they are suffering a medical emergency of declare “ ‘I can’t breathe’ “ to avoid going to jail. The lieutenant said he’s had those experiences.

While pinned on the pavement, Floyd was asked by police during his arrest how he can talk while at the same time be unable to breathe, a question that appeared to raise the question among the officers about Floyd being deceptive.

The afternoon started with testimony from Nicole Mackenzie, the department’s medical support coordinator and first aid

Mark Vancleave/Minneapolis Star Tribune/TNS

Gwen Carr, mother of Eric Garner, joins attorney Ben Crump and representatives of the Floyd family at the Hennepin County Government Center in Minneapolis, Tuesday, where testimony continues in the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. Chauvin is charged with murder in the death of George Floyd during an arrest last May in Minneapolis. educator of officers.

Mackenzie helped the prosecution make two points: that cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, can be started while waiting for paramedics to arrive and that talking doesn’t contradict someone’s contention that they can’t breathe.

Prosecutor Schleicher asked Mackenzie whether officers are trained to go ahead with CPR before an ambulance arrives.

She said yes. Floyd did not receive medical attention while under arrest until two paramedics arrived.

In the context of talking during an “I can’t breathe” plea, Mackenzie said: “There is a possibility somebody could be in respiratory distress and still be able to verbalize it. Just because they’re speaking doesn’t mean they’re breathing adequately.”

Mackenzie acknowledged under questioning from Nelson that police officers should ensure that a scene is safe before rendering aid. This is a theme the defense attorney has visited numerous times since his opening statement at the start of last week.

Nelson also asked whether agonal breathing – or involuntary gasps sometimes made by people under cardiac arrest – could be confused as regular breathing. She confirmed that as well.

M acken z ie a l so agreed that chaotic scenes can contribute to a first responder’s ability to provide aid.

“If you’re trying to be heads down on a patient that you need to render aid to, it’s very difficult to focus on that patient while there’s other things around you,” she said, “if you don’t feel safe around you, if you don’t have enough resources, it’s very difficult to focus on the one thing in front of you.”

Nelson asked: “Does it make it more likely that you may miss signs that a patient is experiencing something?”

M a c k“ Ye s , ” enzie replied.

“The distraction can harm the potential care of the patient?” Nelson inquired.

“Yes,” Mackenzie said.

Schleicher came back and asked whether a crowd of agitated onlookers excuses a police officer from rendering aid.

“Only if they were physically getting themselves involved,” Mackenzie said.

At the scene of the arrest, some bystanders grew increasingly louder in their pleadings with the officers and sometimes used profanity, but never physically threatened Chauvin or the other officers on Floyd’s body, according to any of the witnesses or video evidence presented so far.

Before the day’s testimony began, attorneys made their arguments Tuesday about whether a witness to Floyd’s arrest should be compelled to testify.

Morries L. Hall was with Floyd on that night late last spring, when Floyd was apprehended by police outside the corner store and pinned on the pavement under an officer’s knee until dying.

Hall has said he would invoke his Fifth Amendment constitutional right against self-incrimination and not testify as ordered in the fired police officer’s trial in Hennepin County District Court.

Judge Peter Cahill listened Tuesday to points raised by Hall’s attorney, Adrienne Cousins,

and from the defense and prosecution before putting off any ruling on the issue until at least late in the week.

In the hearing out of the view of the jury, Hall appeared via video hookup and explained through his attorney that he would be exposed to a potential third-degree murder charge and other possible felony counts should he be forced to answer questions in Chauvin’s trial.

Cousins said her client “has been provided no immunity, no protection for his testimony whatsoever. I cannot envision any topics Mr. Hall would be called to testify on that would be relevant to the case that would not incriminate him.”

Hall is listed by both the defense and the prosecution as a possible witness as they present their respective cases.

Defense attorney Nelson disclosed the areas of questions he has for Hall. They include inquiries about: what Floyd and Hall were doing together that day, Hall possibly passing Floyd a counterfeit bill in the store, providing Floyd with drugs and other questions about illicit drug use.

“Going for the ignition when police arrived ... taking something out of his backpack and throwing it,” giving false names to police and his decision to leave Minnesota for Texas immediately after Floyd’s death, Nelson continued.

Testimony last week from Floyd’s girlfriend revealed her belief that Hall provided drugs to

Floyd earlier in the month of his death.

Cahill agreed that all those topics would expose Hall to self-incrimination while testifying. The judge said he did see that Hall could talk about being in the SUV with Floyd and share his observations of his friend, but his attorney and prosecutor Matthew Frank disagreed.

Again, Cousins said, that too could incriminate her client.

Frank concurred with Cousins, saying that limiting the line of questioning “creates a huge problem” in that Hall would be invoking his Fifth Amendment right in front of the jury when asked followup questions.

“It won’t exist in a vacuum, there will be other questioning, and we will have the right to question him about his credibility and other aspects of that interaction that would lead, unfortunately and potentially, to him invoking question by question in front of the jury.”

Ultimately, Cahill directed Nelson to put in writing the questions he would ask Hall and bring those back by Thursday for further discussion.

Chauvin is charged with second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in the killing of Floyd.

But Supervisors John Vasquez and Jim Spering took the idea further, with an eye on larger housing developments.

“I think it’s time the county looks at a strategic plan for affordable housing, even if we have to amend the General Plan to identify places to put in affordable housing,” Spring said.

Vasquez said he also supports the idea of the county developing its own affordable housing projects, emphasizing they could be completed contiguous to the cities.

Super v isor Er in Hannigan said it was time “we are driving that effort instead of it being driven by others.”

a whole. This will not be county-by-county,” Dr. Mark Ghaly, California’s health and human services secretar y, said in a briefing call with reporters.

In a statement, officials said those sectors included in the state’s reopening blueprint will be allowed to “return to usual operations in compliance with Cal/OSHA requirements and with common-sense public health policies in place, such as required masking, testing and with vaccinations encouraged.

Large-scale indoor events, such as conventions, will be allowed to occur with testing or vaccination verification requirements.”

Ghaly emphasized that, “if we see any concerning rise in our hospitalizations, we will take the necessary precautions. But right now, we are hopeful in what we’re seeing as we continue to build on the 20 million vaccines already administered.”

Though state offi-

cials said they will keep a watchful eye on vaccine supply and hospitalizations – including how many fully vaccinated people end up requiring that level of care – they did not establish any hard benchmarks to determine whether California is ready to progress.

“We don’t have a specific number, per se, on the hospitalizations, but are looking at impacts on hospital capacity and the delivery systems’ ability to continue to deliver routine care,” Ghaly said.

On Monday, 1,989 coronavirus-positive patients were hospitalized in California – with 493 of them in intensive care. The state hasn’t seen numbers that low since last spring.

Part of the reason June 15 was chosen as the target date, Ghaly said, was that it falls two months after the state will extend vaccine eligibility to anyone 16 and older.

“We wanted to be able to provide at least a couple of weeks, two

to three weeks, for individuals interested in getting vaccinated who suddenly become eligible on April 15 to get in line to get their vaccines started,” he said.

The timeline for full vaccination depends on what type of shot is administered. Ghaly noted that the longest time frame is associated with the Moderna vaccine – which has a four-week gap between first and second doses.

Health officials consider someone to be fully vaccinated two weeks after they receive their final dose.

To date, providers throughout California have doled out 20.3 million total Covid-19 vaccine doses, and 34.2% of residents have received at least one shot, according to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Roughly 18.1% of Californians are fully vaccinated, meaning they’ve either received the single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine or both required doses of either the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines.

Nationwide, 32.4% of Americans have received at least one dose, and 18.8% are fully vaccinated, CDC data show.

Along with the progress being made on the vaccine front, officials pointed out that California is also currently enjoying one of the lowest coronavirus case rates in the nation – a welcome development as other areas of the country contend with new spikes of the illness.

other requirements.

“If you don’t hit them in the pocketbook and charge them some money,” Mashburn said, “you are not going to bring them into compliance.”

He also clearly stated his belief that the tourist homes should be subjected to the same safety measures to which hotels, bed and breakfast establishments and other similar businesses must adhere.

Compliance has been one of the challenges for the county, which has only four permitted vacation rentals since the ordinance was enacted in late 2018.

The Resource Management staff reported that it identified 55 tourist homes operating in the unincorporated area, though Brown said she believes that number to be much higher.

She also called for an end to unhosted rental homes.

The county sent letters to those homeowners operating without a permit, 33 of whom either shut down or altered their rental requirements to 30 or more days.

Twenty-two did not comply; some of those, however, did begin the permitting process.

But proponents argued that if the county becomes to heavy-handed with its regulations, it will only drive the operators underground.

The best way to get compliance, they argued, was to ease the restric-

tions to a reasonable and doable level of requirements. They also argued the county’s permitting is far too difficult and takes too long, which only encourages homeowners not to apply.

One of the driving motivations for the county to allow the rental homes is tax revenue, although since 2016, the county has collected only $93,000.

Hannigan called for the county to raise its transient occupancy tax rate from the current 5% to match Napa County at 13%.

“I don’t think that will prevent people from coming,” she said.

The staff presented a number of options that could be incorporated into a new ordinance.

Among those are: n Amend the code to require that life/safety issues be addressed rather than compliance with all building and fire codes prior to rental. n Establish an annual operational permit or registration program for short-term rentals separate from the land use entitlement permit and require it to be maintained valid as a condition of land entitlement permits. n Add a requirement for the short-term rental operator to provide a county-approved “Tenant Notification Sheet” / “Good Neighbor Brochure” to each renter prior to the rental period. n Require the shortterm rental operator

to have signage with contact information for a third-party complaint resolution service, if such a service is implemented by the Department of Resource Management to supplement the county’s complaint process. n Allow short-term rentals in the Sandy Beach Road, Vallejo community by rezoning the RTC-6 zoning district to a new RTC designation that addresses the unique issues to this waterfront community. An application from the homeowner association is recommended to ensure all homeowners in the Sandy Beach neighborhood concur with the inclusion of this type of use. n Add additional rental terms, including a minimum of a three-day rental and a minimum age for the person renting the short-term rental. n Add “Right to Farm” language into all approvals and rental agreements. n Require enhanced noticing to neighbors that includes approximate time periods of renting and pertinent contact information for the owner/ property manager. n Require a nuisance bond that could be drawn upon as needed for cost recovery of county staff time spent responding to verified complaints. n Consider raising the transient occupancy tax comparable to the 23 California county average of 10%.

Joe Krahn, president and managing partner of Paragon Lobbying, that the projects on the county’s list do appear to be eligible.

In the case of the fifth project – the $228.7 million Rio Vista Flood Risk Reduction Project – the request is for $150 million.

The project is designed to provide 200-year flood protection to the city by “raising levees and constructing cutoff walls on several levees protecting the eastern and northern flanks of the city along (the) Sacramento River and raising vulnerable structures above (the) 200-year flood elevation

within the flood zone.”

Krahn said there are some question marks about the project and where the funds could originate, adding it is unlikely it would get U.S. Army Corps of Engineers funding but could qualify for funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

However, he also indicated that the early discussions on Capitol Hill have included the possibility that project requests could be capped at $100 million.

Solano County Administrator Birgitta Corsello said the county has been told that it is better to submit projects that are

“shovel ready.” She also noted that there could be other opportunities in future rounds, or through other sources such as the $87 million in American Resource Plan dollars, or possibly President Joe Biden’s proposed infrastructure plan.

The supervisors did discuss what would be the best strategy to be successful, and whether that would be to submit just the very top priorities rather than a more extensive list.

“If everything is a priority, then nothing is a priority,” Krahn said in response to Supervisor Erin Hannigan’s concern the county is overreaching with its requests.

From Page One gible and stable and low numbers of people hospitalized with the disease.

There also will not be a full return to prepandemic life. Notably, California’s mask mandate will remain in place.

But officials expressed confidence that the state, through continued improvement in its coronavirus metrics and the steady rollout of vaccines, is now positioned to begin actively planning for what comes after Covid-19.

“With the expectation of an abundance of doses coming in from the federal government through the end of this month and into May, we can confidently say by June 15 that we can start to open up as business as usual – subject to ongoing mask wearing and ongoing vigilance,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said during a news conference in San Francisco on Tuesday.

“So this is a big day.”

Should all go as planned, June 15 will see the official end of California’s current reopening road map, which sorts counties into one of four color-coded tiers based on three metrics: coronavirus case rates, adjusted based on the number of tests performed; the rate of positive test results; and a health-equity metric intended to ensure that the positive test rate in poorer communities is not significantly higher than the county’s overall figure.

“The entire state will move into this phase as

Debate From Page One well as the highway and commercial zones where hotels are permitted.

And while there were board comments about limiting the number of vacation rentals in a given area – or even going to a lottery system like some counties – that restriction would not necessarily apply to the areas where the county is promoting ag tourism.

“We have committed to ag tourism in ag tourism areas,” Supervisor Erin Hannigan said. “So why would we detract?”

But there was plenty of debate and emotion surrounding rural residential areas where those who run the vacation rentals said it works beautifully and is part of the experience their clients want.

But it is also where existing, and often longtime residents, balk at the very notion. Several speakers called for the county to “carve out rural residential” from where the short-term rentals are allowed.

Regulations were the other part of the discussion that raised the temperature level.

Supervisors Mitch Mashburn and Monica Brown each said they believe the county needs to have more teeth in the ordinance to force compliance with permit and

Earmark From Page One Representatives recently voted to bring back the practice of earmark spending, which allows for individual representatives to direct spending to their districts to pay for special projects or programs.

The practice had been banned since 2011, largely due the criticism that it lends itself to wasteful “pork barrel” and “special interest” spending.

What projects will be eligible is not entirely clear, but the Board of Supervisors was told by

Players: Woods’ absence leaves void at Masters Garry Smits

THE FLORIDA TIMES-UNION

A

UGUSTA, Ga. — Tiger Woods has been a bigger-thanlife presence at the Masters since he won the first of his five green jackets in 1997.

During the rare weeks when he’s absent, the void is palpable.

Woods was injured in a car wreck in February and is recuperating at his home in Jupiter, Fla. He was the last Masters champion in April and tied for 38th in his title defense in November.

Had he been able to play, Woods would have started his 24th Masters. Even when he couldn’t play in 2016 and 2017 because of a series of back injuries, he managed to show up for the past Champions dinner.

“Any time Tiger Woods tees it up in a golf tournament, it’s better,” Rory McIlroy said on Tuesday at the

ANALYSIS Augusta National Media Center. “It’s better for the tournament. It’s better for the players that are involved. It’s better for everyone.”

Many of the Tour players who live in the Jupiter area have gone to visit Woods, such as McIlroy, Justin Thomas, Rickie Fowler, Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka.

“It was good to see him ... good to see him in decent spirits,” said McIroy. “Everyone would love to see him back out here again.

I think myself, J.T., Rickie, DJ, Brooks, all those guys down there, we all have a responsibility to try to keep his spirits up and keep him going and try to get him back out here.”

Thomas said Woods was feeling out of sorts about not being in Augusta.

Baylor coach goes from goat to great Mac Engel

FORT WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM

F

ORT WORTH, Texas — In his tenure as the athletic director at Baylor, Ian McCaw said he never once fielded a phone call or email about poaching his men’s basketball coach, but instead the correspondence was of a darker nature.

“Now, what I did get was emails from fans who said, ‘He’s a great guy but he can’t coach,’” said McCaw on Monday morning in a phone interview. McCaw is now the AD at Liberty University.

“They all said, ‘Oh, he can recruit great players, but he’s not a good enough X’s and O’s coach,’” McCaw revealed. “That was

ANALYSIS the criticism I’d always hear. The fact is he was a better X’s and O’s coach than people ever gave him credit for. He always continued to grow from a coaching standpoint.”

Even as Scott Drew’s resume grew, and he stacked accomplishments and NCAA tourney appearances, McCaw said the coach never once looked elsewhere.

Drew’s Baylor Bears (28-2) totally dominated the previously undefeated Gonzaga Bulldogs (31-1) in the NCAA men’s basketball title game, winning 86-70 on Monday night in Indianapolis. He may be the last coach in a Power 5 conference who

was given time to grow into his job.

No one gets the amount of time to mature, and lose, the way Drew did since he landed in Waco. No one has the time, or patience, for maturation.

Drew and Kansas’ Bill Self are the longest tenured coaches in the Big 12.

Drew’s first four years in Waco were all losing seasons, as he was burdened with both NCAA sanctions and Baylorimposed penalties on the program stemming from the Dave Bliss era.

How many coaches today would be allowed to post four-straight losing records to start their career at a P5 program and still

have a job, regardless of circumstances?

McCaw would like to take credit for hiring Drew, but he is the first person to admit it wasn’t entirely his call.

Back in 2003, Baylor had fired Bliss as well as the school’s athletic director, Tom Stanton.

To find replacements, then Baylor president Robert Sloan conducted searches for a basketball coach and new AD simultaneously.

When Sloan was narrowing the respective fields for both jobs, he asked McCaw what he thought about Drew as a potential head coach.

MLB All-Star Game moves to Mile High City Tribune Content Agency The Major League Baseball All-Star Game will be hosted by the Colorado Rockies on July 13 at Coors Field, baseball officially announced Tuesday.

The game was originally scheduled to take place in Atlanta, but was moved after Georgia passed new laws critics say restrict voting access.

“Major League Baseball is grateful to the Rockies, the city of Denver and the state of Colorado for their

support of this summer’s All-Star Game,” Commissioner Robert Manfred said in a statement. “We appreciate their flexibility and enthusiasm to deliver a first-class event for our game and the region.”

It will be the second time the All-Star Game will be held at Coors Field, with the only other time coming in 1998. The event consists of the AllStar Game, the Home Run Derby and the draft, which will be held at a different location in Denver.

“We are excited to host this year’s All-Star festivities at Coors Field,” Rockies chief operating officer Greg Feasel said in a statement. “We are confident that our organization along with the city, state, Visit Denver and the Denver Sports Commission are capable of putting on this premier event in a relatively quick time frame because of the preparations that had already been done.”

The city and the team had already put in a bid

to Major League Baseball to host the All-Star Game, but they were aiming for 2024. MLB already made site visits to Denver, and the city already had detailed plans in the works for security, hotels and event spaces.

When MLB reached out last week asking if Denver could host, the city and team were able to say yes since most of this work was already done.

Warriors have a choice to make; so far, they’re blowing it Dieter Kurtenbach THE MERCURY NEWS

The Warriors have a choice to make.

Are they going to make a push for something better than the last spot in the play-in tournament, or are they going to prioritize the team’s youth for the remainder of the season – namely center James Wiseman, results be damned?

Trying to do both things simultaneously is not working. This team is spiraling, as evidenced by its embarrassing 0-3 trip, which included a 53-point loss in Toronto on Friday and a squandered chance at victory in Atlanta on Sunday.

Sunday’s loss to the Hawks, even more so than the embarrassment against the Raptors, best summarized the depths of the Warriors’ predicament.

The world might be completely different, but so little has changed for the Warriors on the court since last season: Without

ANALYSIS Steph Curry, they’re arguably the worst team in the NBA. And that includes every minute of rest he receives in games.

Golden State is in no-man’s land – sub-.500, hanging onto the final play-in spot in the Western Conference. So when the Warriors make their choice following Tuesday night’s game against Milwaukee, which leads them into their last two-day break until the final week of the season, there are serious consequences. There could be a ripple effect that lasts years.

But there’s no wrong choice to make – so long as they make a firm decision.

If the organization decides it wants to go all-in on Wiseman, that’s fine. But that means Steve Kerr needs to stop playing veteran role players like Kent Bazemore, and start playing Wiseman more than the 18 minutes he

played against Atlanta Sunday.

Against the Hawks, you could see the team’s priorities change in real time. One minute they were all about development, then they were about winning the game, then development again.

Of course the kid’s head is spinning – everyone’s head is spinning.

The offensive system likely needs to be simplified a bit, too. More of that pick-and-roll action we saw against the Bulls, less of the Princeton offense that is proving to be well above the heads of everyone but Curry and Draymond Green.

Spending the remainder of the season working with Wiseman, giving him the run he needs, might result in the Warriors missing the playoffs, but it could go a long way for Golden State next season.

An end-of-season run, paired with Summer League and a full training camp might get Wiseman to the point where he’s no longer a liability to

Golden State’s efforts to win. The same logic can be applied to the Warriors’ other young guns, Nico Mannion and Jordan Poole.

The consistent, steady run could also ignite Wiseman’s motor, which has been lacking in recent games.

Plus, a soft tank would likely result in another lottery pick for the Dubs.

Perhaps the ping-pong balls bless them twice – once with their own pick, once with Minnesota’s (which they receive if it’s not top-three) on lottery night.

And if the Warriors decide that they have more to offer than ping-pong balls and G League-style player development – if they want to see how far Curry and Green can take them in a Western Conference that is still wide open – that’s fine, too.

But that means putting Wiseman on the bench to start the game and keeping him there for all but a few minutes

US considering boycott of 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing Los Angeles Times WASHINGTON — The United States is considering a boycott of next year’s Olympic Games in China because of Beijing’s repression of minorities and other human rights abuses, the State Department said Tuesday.

State Department spokesman Ned Price said the U.S. would consult with other countries to see if a joint boycott could be staged for the Winter Olympics, which are set to run Feb. 4 to 20, 2022, in Beijing.

He said the administration is considering such action, though a final decision has not been made.

“It is something that we certainly wish to discuss,” Price said in a briefing with reporters when asked about a boycott of the Games.

Later, Price suggested he had been misinterpreted. “As I said, we don’t have any announcement regarding the Beijing Olympics,” he said on Twitter after the brief-

ing. “2022 remains a ways off, but we will continue to consult closely with allies and partners to define our common concerns and establish our shared approach to the PRC,” he wrote, referring to the People’s Republic of China.

Both the Biden and the Trump administrations have labeled as genocide China’s attempts to control the Muslim Uyghur minority and deprive it of its cultural identity. China has also come under international pressure for its crackdowns on pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong.

In recent Chinese-U.S. talks in Alaska, Secretary of State Antony J.

U.S.-China relations have plummeted dramatically in recent years.

Former President Donald Trump blamed China for the Covid-19 pandemic, often using racist terms to refer to the disease.

President Joe Biden has been more measured in his rhetoric, suggesting China can be both a rival on issues like democracy and a collaborator on climate change and related matters.

Public opinion polls, meanwhile, have shown growing antipathy among U.S. residents toward the Chinese government, which is increasingly seen by those surveyed as an economic threat.

of the contest.

Since Wiseman has moved back into the Warriors’ starting lineup on March 22, he has posted an offensive rating of 99.7 and a defensive rating of 119.3. You can do the math – that’s an egregiously bad net rating.

And in the three games that Curry has started over that stretch, Wiseman is the only Warriors rotation player who has produced a negative net rating while on the court with No. 30.

Defensively, the pairing of Curry and Wiseman is fine. Not as good as the Curry-Kevon Looney pairing, but good nevertheless with a 99.2 defensive rating in 55 minutes going into Tuesday’s game.

But Wiseman’s presence on the court grinds the Warriors’ offense to a halt.

Yes, someone found a way to stop Steph.

With the young big on the floor with the Baby Faced Assassin, the

Warriors score 0.95 points per possession. For comparison, playing Looney with Curry instead of Wiseman nets the Warriors 1.43 points per possession.

Of course, it makes sense that it’s not working.

Wiseman is a square peg in the round hole that is the Warriors’ motion offense. He can do so many things well, but the thing that the Warriors demand from their center in their offensive system – passing – is beyond him at the moment. But because the Warriors are spoonfeeding touches to him, the collective – including Curry – must suffer.

If the Dubs want to be anything more than a play-in tournament loser, they have to do what Kerr did in Atlanta – play Wiseman less when the game is winnable.

So what’s it going to be?

Again, there’s no single right answer. But to keep doing what they have been doing would be the wrong one.

MLB: All-Star months or years to happen, happened in a matter of days,” Denver mayor Michael Hancock said in a press conference. “We are thrilled and honored that Major League Baseball selected Denver and the Colorado Rockies as the new host of this All-Star Game.”

Attendance at Coors Field is currently capped at 42.6%, but Gover-

nor Jared Polis said he expects the stadium to be fully packed for the game in July. This could bring in more than $100,000,000 to the local economy, Hancock said.

The Dodgers will remain the host off the 2022 All-Star Game.

The game was canceled last season because Covid-19 delayed the start of the season until July.

Covid-19 vaccine? I’ve had worse

A

friend told me three weeks ago she isn’t going to be vaccinated. Her father was vaccinated and had a fever, chills and fatigue for days afterward. While we’ve vaccinated up to 4 million Americans in one day recently, there are still those who opt out, who don’t trust the vaccine or have devoured misinformation about them. The majority of counties in California where vaccines lag are in counties won by Donald Trump in 2020.

Despite my friend’s misgivings, I went ahead and got my first Pfizer-BioNTech shot March 19 and had zero side effects. No pain, fever, chills, aches or fatigue.

A lot of resistance to the vaccine is from people erroneously claiming the vaccines aren’t safe. The way I approach it is simple.

In my life I’ve eaten a lot of junk food. If it’s ooey-gooey, hot, Kelvin Wade baked, broiled, barbecued or fried, I’ve eaten it, over and over to excess. And while I’ve recently dropped 50 pounds, I’ve lived a life of recklessness and overindulgence when it comes to food.

Though food has always been my drug of choice, it wasn’t the only substance I put in my body. Years before marijuana was legalized in California and dating back to high school I’ve partaken of weed bought from shady characters. I didn’t know where that marijuana came from or what was in it. Like so many other Californians, I just used it.

And I didn’t stop at marijuana. I tried hash, mushrooms, crank, speed, powder and rock cocaine. If someone offered me a toke or a pill, I wouldn’t question the possible hazards of taking it. I just did it, forget the consequences.

Thirty years ago, when I was partaking of that panoply of drugs, I was also a heavy drinker. The friends that I had at the time partied every weekend. And unfortunately, we routinely drove while drunk. Like an idiot, I put myself and others at risk. I only stopped when one by one my friends started getting DUIs. Fortunately, most of us grew up and stopped that dangerous, reckless behavior.

For a while there, like my father before me, I also enjoyed a good cigar.

I’ve written about being in pain management with a Dr. Feelgood who kept me on high doses of Vicodin and morphine. There were times I couldn’t even recall how to get home when I was out. There were times I wrote columns that you read that I had no memory of writing. I weaned myself off of those drugs.

I tell you all of these personal things about myself only to say what kind of hypocrite I would be if after all of those substances I abused my body with, I refused a vaccine, something designed to help me.

Not everyone went down the dark road I have, but many have. We had no problem ingesting substances to alter our mood. Now, too many are making excuses as to why they can’t take this step to help themselves and help others.

When Dr. Deborah Birx acknowledged last month that the majority of deaths from Covid-19 were preventable it should sadden and horrify all of us. I’ve had friends battle this disease. I’ve had a half-dozen relatives contract this novel coronavirus.

No one who took the Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna or Johnson & Johnson vaccines died or were hospitalized in the clinical trials. Side effects after taking the vaccines are signs that the vaccines are working. Half of vaccine takers experience no side effects. The CDC reminds us that even those of us who display no side effects are still reaping the benefits of the vaccine.

To skip the vaccine for fear it will harm you is foolish. To do so when you’ve had no problem downing unhealthy substances like I have is just bowing to politics over your health. It’s no secret why the highest vaccine resistance comes from Trumpers and Republicans. It’s a belief in fiction over facts.

We’re on the path back to our old lives. Do your part and get the jab. Peace.

Amazon should be broken up, small merchant coalition says Tribune Content Agency A new coalition of small business organizations is urging policymakers to break up Amazon.com Inc. Small Business Rising, which represents grocers, hardware stores, pharmacies and bookstores, on Tuesday laid out a set of goals aimed at reinvigorating U.S. antitrust enforcement, including a call to separate Amazon’s own retail business from the marketplace that hosts third-party sellers.

Convened in part by the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, a smallbusiness advocacy group and a longtime critic of Amazon’s market power, the coalition is likely to ramp up the pressure on the world’s largest web retailer, which has thrived during the pandemic as home-bound shoppers stormed online. Members include the American Booksellers Association, the Alliance for Pharmacy Compounding and the National Grocers Association, along with regional groups of small merchants.

“Small businesses are in crisis,” said Stacy Mitchell, the ILSR’s codirector. She said the pandemic-fueled economic turmoil and the commanding presence of dominant firms like Amazon helped inform the coalition’s goals. “As one bookseller said to me, ‘It says Covid on the death certificate, but the underlying condition was Amazon.’”

The group also is calling for changes to antitrust laws that would

empower regulators to stamp out anti-competitive tactics, as well as stricter review of mergers among big industry players.

Policymakers around the world have scrutinized Amazon’s practice of competing with the independent sellers who now account for most sales on its web store. Critics say Amazon treats sellers as disposable and beholden to its fees and other demands.

The company also has been accused of using seller data to inform the design of its own products.

Amazon’s conduct and seller critiques featured prominently in a Congressional antitrust committee report last year that found the company wielded monopoly power over small merchants.

Amid rising pressure from small business activists and politicians, Amazon has in recent years sought to portray itself as a friend to small businesses, pitching stories of successful sellers in ad campaigns.

Amazon didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. In a statement to the Wall Street Journal, which reported on the new merchant group earlier Tuesday, a spokesperson said Amazon’s critics “are suggesting misguided interventions in the free market that would kill off independent retailers and punish consumers by forcing small businesses out of popular online stores, raising prices, and reducing consumer choice and convenience.”

Airline announces it’s retiring some Boeing jets Japan Airlines announced Tuesday it’s retiring Boeing 777 planes equipped with Pratt & Whitney engines following two mid-air failures, one involving a Japan Airlines plane last December.

With no known reports to resume the operation of Boeing 777 planes equipped with Pratt & Whitney engines, Japan Airlines said it has accelerated the retirement of all the planes by March. Sidelining the planes was originally scheduled for March 2022, the airline said.

Japan Airlines said it was responding to an incident involving an engine failure on a Dec. 4, 2020, Japan Airlines flight from Okinawa Naha to Tokyo Haneda airport, and a United Airlines engine failure near Denver on Feb. 20.

GM China reports 69% increase in 1Q sales DETROIT — General Motors Co. and its joint venture in China sold more than 780,000 vehicles in the first quarter of 2021, a 69% increase over 2020’s first quarter when the country was shut down during the pandemic.

The automaker said its rebound has been driven by luxury and premium vehicles, midsize/large SUVs and multi-purpose vehicles, including the Cadillac CT5 and XT6, Buick GL8 family and Buick LaCrosse. The Wuling Hong Guang Mini EV remained the best-selling electric vehicle in China, the automaker said.

Buick deliveries in the first quarter increased 73% from a year earlier. GM said Cadillac set a first-quarter record with its sales of more than 57,000 units, a 114% year-over-year increase. Chevrolet saw a 27% increase in the quarter.

GM China’s Wuling brand had sales double to more than 347,000. The Baojun brand saw a 5% increase.

In the U.S., GM said it sold 642,250 vehicles in the first quarter, a 4% year-over-year improvement.

US jobs come roaring back,

The Hiring Sushi Chef sign is seen on the door at 9Bangkok Thai and Sushi Restaurant in St. Petersburg, Fla., Friday.

surprising employers, economists

Tribune Content Agency A resurgent job market is creating more opportunities at a faster clip than many economists and employers expected.

What’s more, too few people are applying for positions that are reopening, and that’s setting up a battle for talent. Restaurants and hotels are raising wages, offering bonuses for worker referrals or luring people from other states to cope with the shortage.

Many data watchers have been caught off guard as improving weather, stimulus and a surge in vaccinations converge to boost the economy. Nonfarm payrolls rose by 916,000 last month, blowing away economists’ median estimate of a 660,000-job gain. Meanwhile, a measure of service-industry activity released this week saw the fastest growth on record in March, exceeding the highest estimate in a Bloomberg survey.

On Florida’s Captiva Island, Doug Babcock is considering hiring a temporary labor firm to fill roles at ‘Tween Waters Island Resort and Spa and other resorts on neighboring Sanibel Island. Historically, workers have willingly driven up to an hour from the mainland for the promise of year-round work. This year, applicants are grilling him about drive times and taking jobs closer to home.

“It’s almost like the staff is interviewing you,” said Babcock, who’s boosted starting pay for dishwashers by $2 to $3 recently.

Next phase Economic data are rebounding better than expected because of a “superfecta” of positives colliding at once, Michael Skordeles, a senior U.S. macro strategist at Truist Financial Corp., said in an April 2 note.

“The resulting horsepower lifting the economy is unparalleled, particularly for jobs in the coming months,” he wrote.

Economists like Skordeles point to improving weather, more states lifting business restrictions, the vaccine roll-out and President

Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion stimulus bill as drivers.

Even before states like Texas and Mississippi reopened last month, job openings were surging – hitting a two-year high in February, data showed Tuesday.

“I think we’re getting to another phase in the reopening and that’s leading to a spurt in economic activity,” said Ryan Sweet, head of monetary policy research at Moody’s Analytics Inc. And while economic data can sometimes send mixed signals, “this time around, we’re getting strong signals that the economy is set to bounce back,” he said.

Restaurant wages To get ahead of the competition for talent, Olive Garden parent Darden Restaurants Inc. is boosting pay to ensure all workers, tipped and untipped, earn at least $10 an hour initially and $12 by January 2023.

Many Applebee’s restaurants are offering $3,000 bounties for manager referrals after the first six months, while some Arby’s locations are paying $500 referral bonuses up front.

“Our restaurants are literally busier than they’ve been in decades,” said Greg Flynn, whose Flynn Restaurant Group owns 2,355 restaurants including Applebee’s, Panera Bread, Taco Bell and other brands.

The worker shortage is especially apparent at Southern restaurants and hotels that have seen a springbreak surge of activity in states that reopened earlier than most, on top of a wave of spending from the $1,400 federal stimulus payments that Congress passed in March.

In Southern states including Alabama, South Carolina and Florida, growth in consumer spending since January 2020 far exceeds the national average, according to data from Opportunity Insights.

“Never have we ever had this many positions open,” said Francesco Balli, co-founder and co-CEO of Grove Bay Hospitality Group that owns eight restaurants in the Miami area.

Pre-pandemic the company

employed about 500 people, but that workforce shrunk during shutdowns last year. Now with about 280 on staff, it isn’t enough, Balli said.

Hotel bookings Hoteliers are in an especially rough spot right now, with a flood of leisure travelers booking rooms on weekends and almost no business travelers during the week, said Tim McPherson, whose Hospitality Staffing Solutions employs more than 10,000 workers around the country.

Hotels have boosted their pay by around 15% over pre-pandemic rates, McPherson said, while sign-on bonuses or bonuses for finishing a three-month assignment are catching on. In Nashville, staffing agencies like his have brought in workers from Minnesota temporarily to fill the need, McPherson said.

Hotel and restaurant operators have a litany of theories about what’s keeping workers away.

Some say it’s the hot housing market luring away would-be employees. Others say it’s e-commerce companies or even customer service call centers, some of which are adopting attractive work-fromhome arrangements permanently.

However, nearly everyone blames the $300 federal unemployment benefits that Congress renewed until September 6.

Earlier in the pandemic, several economists published research suggesting the then-$600 weekly benefit largely didn’t dissuade people from seeking work, including a September paper from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. The appeal of a sustained salary outweighs even generous temporary unemployment benefits, the Fed researchers noted at the time.

For now, a poolside bar at the SpringHill Suites in Navarre Beach is closed until the hotel can find enough workers to staff it. Cooks, who earn $13 to $17 an hour, are especially needed, said General Manager Scott Mauer.

“I feel like this is all going to go away,” Mauer said. “At some point, people will want to start looking for jobs again.

Thousands from CA, IL, NY move to Texas Tribune Content Agency During the pandemic there’s been lots of chatter about folks moving to North Texas from other states.

But so far there’ve been few hard numbers on the immigrant totals.

Now a new study from commercial real estate giant CBRE confirms the thousands of people heading to Dallas-Fort Worth last year and where they came from.

No surprise, the

largest number of new D-FW transplants comes from California.

In 2020 more than 16,000 people moved to North Texas from California, according to CBRE’s a study of post office change of address information. California moves to D-FW were up more than 19% last year from 2019 totals.

Relocations from New York had an even bigger 2020 gain, rising more than 22% last year with more than 4,500 moves.

Other states that shifted thousands of workers to the D-FW area include Florida and Illinois.

“Doesn’t surprise me the California ones,” said Dr. Luis Torres, an economist with the Texas Real Estate Research Center. “New York State is probably starting from a lower base.

In 2019, most of the Texas moves came from California and Florida, Torres said.

“We are actually trying to get a better grasp on

migration numbers – we are looking into possible data sets,” he said.

CBRE’s new study, Covid-19 Impact on Resident Migration Patterns, took a deep dive into relocation in markets across the U.S. Moves out of markets including San Francisco, New York, Miami and Boston surged, while there were more immigrants to metros including Austin, Charlotte, Dallas and Phoenix, CBRE researchers found.

Kai Luke Brummer in Oliver Hermanus’ “Moffie.”

A brutal coming-ofage story about the eradication of feeling K atie Walsh

Tribune Content Agency

S

outh Africa, 1981.

A few teenage soldiers, tanned, blond, just out of boyhood, enjoy a rare night out with a few female companions.

Michael (Matthew Vey) drags on a cigarette and informs their new friends that, “we don’t feel a thing.” Later, he repeats himself back at camp, near the Angolan border, where the troops patrol for landmines and “communist” insurgents: “I feel nothing,” he reminds himself, as soldiers shoot up morphine just out of sight.

This eradication of “feeling” is at the center of “Moffie,” a film about a brutal coming-of-age as a gay teenager during compulsory military service in the South African National Defense Force during apartheid, and the border war with Angola.

Based on the book by Andre Carl van de Merwe, the film is directed and co-written

by Oliver Hermanus, who adapted the screenplay with Jack Sidey, following the young Nicholas (Kai Luke Brummer) into what seems the depths of hell, if hell is a remote military training camp that operates like a frat house with guns.

“Moffie” is a homophobic slur that the sergeants force the cadets to chant at two bloodied recruits who have been caught together, reinforcing the self-policing social order they bludgeon into their charges.

One of these young men later cautions Nicholas to make himself as invisible as possible, lest he be sent to Ward 22, or the “loony bin” as they call it. Nicholas

(out of four)

imagines Ward 22 as a nightmarish place, where homosexuality is treated as equivalent to drug abuse and psychopathy. He wonders about his friend, Dylan (Ryan de Villiers), who mysteriously disappeared there, after the two boys stole a few moments of tenderness together.

Tenderness is nonexistent in this place, where their lean bodies are trained, punished, and beaten with the ostensible end goal of destroying other youthful bodies in a racist war fought in the name of protecting their country from the vague threat of communism.

“Moffie” is a contained story that captures the two years of Nicholas’ life as he’s thrown into the world of men; struggling as he’s subsumed into these brainwashing systems of destructive masculinity and hazing that characterize these spaces.

Hermanus resists over-explaining the political details and nuances of this conflict, instead focusing on the human element within this military apparatus.

In doing so, he crafts an astonishingly sharp argument for demilitarization, as one can’t help but wonder just what all of this training is for.

The threat is so theoretical, the entire endeavor seems only a system built to dehumanize those caught in its deadly web. Nicholas fights mightily to escape, but it’s unclear what he has to sacrifice to survive.

After backlash, Fallon hosts creators of viral TikTok dances

Crossword

Tribune Content Agency A week after his now-infamous TikTok dance medley with Addison Rae backfired, Jimmy Fallon invited the dances’ choreographers to perform their viral moves on “The Tonight Show.”

On Monday night, Fallon spoke virtually with Mya Nicole Johnson, Chris Cotter, Dorien Scott, Fur-Quan Powell, Camyra Franklin, Adam Snyder, Nate Nale, Greg Dahl and Keara Wilson – all of whom created the challenges that TikTok star Rae previously performed on the show.

Fallon and Rae, who are both white, came under fire last week for demonstrating the dances on the show without crediting the originators, many of whom are Black. The controversy reignited conversations about white celebrities who profit from the creativity of Black artists who don’t get the same opportunities.

“On our last show before break, we did a bit with Addison Rae where she taught me eight viral TikTok dances, and we recognize that the creators of those dances deserve to have their own spotlight,” Fallon said Monday.

“So right now, some of the creators will join me to talk about how their dance went viral and then perform the dance themselves.”

First up were Johnson (@ theemyanicole) and Cotter (@ cchrvs), who choreographed the dance to Cardi B’s “Up.” A side-by-side video of the pair performing the dynamic dance alongside Rae blew up on Twitter last week, as many believed Rae executed the choreography poorly in comparison on “The Tonight Show.”

“We already knew that Cardi B had just came out with a new song called ‘Up,’ and it was going viral – everyone was listening to the song,” Cotter said of their creative process. “So we knew that if we were to make a challenge to it, it had the potential of going viral.”

Cardi B “posted our video two times on her Instagram and then one time on TikTok,” Johnson added. “So yeah, that was a good experience.”

Up next was Scott (@yvnggprince), who created the dance to Pop Hunna’s “Adderall (Corvette Corvette)” and is currently a freshman studying visual communications at the University of Delaware.

In addition to being a full-time student, Scott is also a model, dancer and actor who hopes to portray the live-action version of Marvel’s Miles Morales, a.k.a. Spider-Man. “I want to be an all-around performer and entertainer,” Scott told Fallon. “Will Smith and Kevin Hart – they’re my inspirations. I love their journey.

One of my dream roles would be to play . . . Spider-Man. I told you I was a gymnast, so you

Then came Powell (@flyboyfu), who created the TikTok remix to D4L’s “Laffy Taffy,” and Franklin (@17slumz), who choreographed the dance. The former recorded the “Laffy Taffy” rap, freestyle, in a single take, while the latter came up with the choreography in about five minutes on the school bus.

“I made the dance when I was 15 just because,” Franklin said. “And then, two years later . . . it’s on TikTok. It’s viral. . . .

It shocked me because I wasn’t even expecting it to go viral.”

Powell and Franklin were followed by Snyder, Nale and Dahl, who teamed up for a dance to the Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights.”

They operate a joint TikTok account (@macdaddyz) while rooming together at Immaculata University in Pennsylvania.

“I’ve actually been a huge fan of the Weeknd for a while, and when that song first came out, I was listening to it all the time, playing it at school,” one of the roommates said. “And one night we were dancing to it, and it just kind of went together perfectly.”

Last but certainly not least was Wilson (@keke.janjah), the mastermind behind the dance to

Megan Thee Stallion’s “Savage,” which has been re-created by multiple high-profile stars, including Megan Thee Stallion herself. Wilson, who has been dancing for 10 years, said she choreographed the hit challenge in about 30 minutes.

“At that time, I just had graduated high school, and I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life,” Wilson told Fallon. “I needed an outlet to de-stress, so I downloaded TikTok. . . . I’d seen that people were doing a bunch of dances on TikTok, so I wanted to try it too.”

After Monday’s “Tonight Show” episode aired, Rae shared the segment on social media, expressed a desire to collaborate with the choreographers and encouraged her millions of followers to “show them love.”

Last week, Rae responded to the criticism when approached

by TMZ and praised the creators for their work.

“It’s kind of hard to [give] credit during the show, but they all know that I love them so much, and I support all of them so much,” Rae told TMZ. “And hopefully, one day, we can all meet up and dance together. . . .

They’re all so talented, and I definitely don’t do them justice.

They’re amazing.”

How should South plan the play in four spades on today’s deal? The defenders begin with two rounds of clubs.

I agree with South’s one-spade overcall (in preference to a takeout double). Get those five-card majors into the auction. East nearly rebid four no-trump, to show a minor two-suiter with shorter diamonds, but was dissuaded by the unfavorable vulnerability.

South can afford one heart loser, but not two. If hearts are breaking 3-2, the contract is in no jeopardy, but what if they are 4-1?

Jordan be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1)four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

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. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-20-887131-AB. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. 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. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916-939-0772, or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-20887131-AB to find the date on which the trustee's sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee's sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee's sale. If you think you may qualify as an "eligible tenant buyer" or "eligible bidder," you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy.

The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary's Agent, or the Beneficiary's Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right's against the real property only.

Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

getic and he wanted to be at a faith-based school,” McCaw said.

Baylor hired Drew in August of 2003. A few weeks later, McCaw was named its AD. “I’ll never forget the first meeting I had with him,” McCaw said. “He says to me, ‘Are you ready to go to the Final Four?’

“Because of the NCAA penalties, we had something like five or six scholarship players left,” he said. “The entire team had been given an

“We texted Friday morning and he said it’s starting to set in,” Thomas said. “He’s bummed he’s not here playing practice rounds with us and we hate it too.”

However, Woods used Twitter to give Johnson the needle, tweeting: “I’ll miss running up @DJohnsonPGA’s bill at the Champions Dinner tonight.”

Thomas said he’s especially missed the early-morning Augusta practice rounds with Woods and Fred Couples and blamed Woods’ absence, indirectly, for Couples missing their planned round on Tuesday.

“He didn’t feel like getting up early in the cold weather this morning,” Thomas said of Couples. “I made sure to give him some grief.

I don’t know if he would have bailed on me if Tiger was with me, but he did on me.”

ference title in men’s basketball since 1950.

A few days later, McCaw received a note in the mail. It was from Drew. In the envelope was a picture of the team celebrating the title, and a clipping of the net cut down.

Drew wrote, “Sorry it took so long to get this.

You’re a big part of it.”

In the end, Scott Drew was right.

And in the coming days, McCaw might be on the lookout for yet another envelope.

He was cryptic when asked about the strain on his knee walking up and down the hilly course.

“Good is relative,” he said.

Koepka did admit that his knee hurts more while walking down slopes.

“It puts all the pressure on the patella, so considering I dislocated and . . . there’s a bunch of stuff going on in there that can cause a pain right where the brace is,” he said. “It’s probably the most sensitive spot, so it’s going to pull. It’s going to hurt downhill.”

bet him $100 it wasn’t true. And because cell phones weren’t allowed in the clubhouse, no one could Google it.

“So everybody is calling me out on my BS,” Mickelson said. “And a lot of times, I am BSing.”

Not this time. Mickelson knew all about the desert and its connection to Anna Pavlova because his daughter was in a ballet class and did a class paper on Pavlova. Mickelson even made 32 Pavlovas for his daughter and her classmates.

“And I ended up, you know, being right, which is not often,” Mickelson said. “But I was right on that particular moment.”

Thomas isn’t quite sure the reason but he said it could be because during the run-up to those events, or during those weeks, he practices a bit more or spends time on a shot that he knows he’ll need on that course, that week.

“I wish I could say I flip a switch when it’s a major or WGC and I play better,” he said.

“Because I would permanently leave that switch on. But I think a lot of it for me goes into the preparation on the mental side of it. I hate to say it because you should treat every tournament the same, but it’s different.”

For example, Thomas said he’s practiced a few extra 8-irons for the tee shot he’ll need at Augusta’s par-3 16th hole.

“Just making sure that I’m not uncomfortable when I get on the golf course in any of those scenarios, and I do the same thing in other events,” he said.

Score one for Phil Phil Mickelson prides himself on being inquisitive about a variety of subjects. He related a story about the 2014 Masters Champions Dinner in which he was proven right on a combination of cuisine and ballet.

Adam Scott was the defending champion and the desert he served was Pavlova, a meringue and fruit combination.

When it was served, Mickelson noted to his fellow champions, “Pavlova ... that’s inspired by the great Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova who was touring through New Zealand [and] Australia, and an Australian chef so inspired by her beautiful movement . . . he made a dessert after her.”

Mickelson said former chairman Billy Payne, gave him an odd look.

And Zach Johnson, of the belief Mickelson was just making the story up,

It’s incredible. It’s one of the greatest turnarounds in the history of college basketball.”

Baylor’s staff no longer receives emails from fans suggesting that Drew is an ish coach who lacks X’s and O’s skills.

McCaw resigned as AD from Baylor in May of 2016, when the school was under intense pressure in the wake of sexual assault allegations against members of the football team.

In March of this year, Baylor won its first con-

Brooks Koepka spoke to the media for the first time this week and he pronounced his game and his injured knee, which kept him out of The Players Championship, ready to go for Thursday’s first round.

“Game feels fine . . . game is good, playing good,” he said. “I like how I’m swinging it. Everything should be fine.”

“So we have five or six guys, and we’re left with intramural players. There was this attitude and the energy he brought to that program. You could see he had the vision, and the passion and the commitment,” McCaw said.

“In my 13 years there, he never once looked at another job. He really felt like he could build something special there.
