THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — Solano County supervisors on Tuesday will consider the 2020 LNU Lightning Complex Fire Recovery Strategic Plan and receive an update on the progress of the recovery.

A staff report to the board states that the purpose of the strategic plan is to provide the county with a blueprint to recover from

the devastating effects of the LNU Lightning Complex Fire that occurred in August.

“The recovery plan assigns roles and responsibilities to county agencies and identifies outside agencies who must coordinate in order to complete the recovery process. The recovery plan has been developed during the ongoing recovery process and is evolving as tasks are com-

VACAVILLE — It may be a sentimental Journey for some. Others may see it as the next Journey.

For owners Morne and Nicole Van Staden, it’s a new Journey.

The couple has opened their fourth Journey Coffee in the historic Theatre DeVille.

After a one-day soft opening, the lobby was filled with people, some of them picking up $50 Journey gift cards courtesy of Clark Doyle. Their accompanying friends landed a $25 gift card.

Doyle, president of Pacific Community Lender Inc., said he was pleased to see the doors open again and wanted to help boost

“How will we use this space?” Van Staden asked rhetorically. “We are actually looking at community and what they want.”

Vacaville’s Papa Roach filmed a music video on the stage a few years ago.

“The acoustics are awesome,” Vollmer said.

The building has been through a few different phases in the past decade.

The Laugh turns 14 this month!

T he Last Laugh turns 14 this month!

Man, I thought it was rough when she became a teenager last year – that was just the beginning. I mean, now she wants to date! When I asked her who she had in mind, she said Brad Stanhope’s son, “Like I Was Sayin.’ ” I haven’t gone ballistic in some time so it was both freeing and slightly frightening to myself just how far off the handle I flew. No freakin’ way was my baby column going to be dating the offspring of (hocks loogie on the floor) Tony Wade Brad Stanhope.

The last laugh Now, I am well aware that I could be setting up a Capulet and Montague thing, but I don’t care. I put my foot down (being careful not to step on the loogie).

Once she saw that was a dead-end, she then said that she thought “The Other Side” was kinda cute. Flabbergasted, I told her that that is my brother Kelvin’s son and her first cousin! I warned that if they were one day to get married and have a baby column, it would turn out all weird like Bud Stevenson’s “Mr. Nice Guy.” That seemed to bring her to her senses.

Anyway, join me in celebrating The Last Laugh’s 14th birthday now while I clean up that loogie.

14 T-shirts: The I Grew Up in Fairfield Too Facebook Group kicked off a T-shirt selling campaign last week with proceeds benefiting The Children’s Network of Solano County. The design is an updated one we used about six years ago that I made. It features pictures of the iconic Fairfield downtown sign, the old courthouse and a silhouette of the Waving Chief Solano Statue superimposed on it. Underneath it says, “Where my story begins . . .”

Now, if your story doesn’t begin here, whatevs. Mine doesn’t, either. I was born in Portsmouth, Virginia, and lived in Norfolk before we moved here in 1976. That ain’t the point. It’s about helping kids.

OK, it’s about helping kids and getting a T-shirt. I actually got rid of my Fairfield shirts from past campaigns because they were all 4 XL and I wear a large now.

Perhaps if I needed a sail for a clipper or something I might have kept at least one.

The shirts are only $20 and I want to sell at least 14 today. You can also make donations above and beyond the price of the shirt and it all goes to The Children’s Network of Solano County, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

COVID-19

Older adults begin to test freedom after vaccinations Judith Graham

Kaiser Health News

With a mix of relief and caution, older adults fully vaccinated against Covid-19 are moving out into the world and resuming activities put on hold during the pandemic.

Many are making plans to see adult children and hug grandchildren they haven’t visited for months – or longer. Others are getting together with friends indoors, for the first time in a long time.

People are scheduling medical appointments that had been delayed and putting trips to destinations near and far on calendars. Simple things that felt unsafe pre-vaccination now feel possible: petting a neighbor’s dog, going for a walk in the park, stopping at a local

hangout for a cup of coffee.

“I feel I can breathe again,” said Barry Dym, 78, of Lexington, Massachusetts, expressing a widely shared sense of freedom.

The rapid rollout of Covid vaccines to people 65 and older makes this possible. As of last week, nearly 49% of seniors in the U.S. had been fully vaccinated, while nearly 73% had received one dose of the Moderna or PfizerBioNTech vaccine. (A third vaccine, from Johnson & Johnson, became available recently and requires just one dose.)

Recent guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recognizes the protection that vaccines offer.

Walter Parsons

Aug. 9, 1952 — March 8, 2021

Walter Frederick Parsons, age 68, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his two daughters and wife, Kathy, on their 46th wedding anniversar y, March 8, 2021.

Walter was born in San Francisco, California, on Aug. 9, 1952, to George and Ilse Parsons. He grew up in Pittsburg, California, where he graduated from Pittsburg High in 1970 and where he later began a family.

He studied at San Francisco State and Diablo Valley College, where he met the love of his life, Kathy, and later married March 8, 1975, in Walnut Creek, California. Together they had two daughters, Kelly and Kristy.

Walter began his career in lithography at Mastercraft Press in San Francisco; a talented pressman with an eye for art and attention to detail. Here, he mastered the six-color Heidelberg Press and became a journeyman pressman. He enjoyed his craft and all the friends he met along the way.

In 1991, his family relocated to Fairfield, California, where they eventually bought Credit Bureau of Fairfield. Walter worked part-time there after retirement. His natural, witty gift of humor, onedollar side bets, and hot burgers off his old

beat-up Weber grills are things his colleagues will never forget.

As a devoted husband, father, grandpa and friend, he was an avid sports fan who knew when to ‘hold-em’ and when to ‘fold-em’. Walter was a 20–year season ticket holder with the Oakland A’s and a loyal Oakland Raiders fan who traveled to the 1981 Super Bowl XV in New Orleans.

Walter’s annual April Fool’s poker tournaments became a Fairfield tradition for 18 years. He also cherished his Tuesday nights with his Pittsburg Poker family. Always proud of his Pittsburg and Parkside roots, he maintained lifetime friendships where his friends became the brothers and sisters he never had.

Walter was a stranger to no one and the life of any party. He will be deeply missed by all of those that knew him.

Walter is survived by his wife, Kathryn (Goldmann) Parsons; daughters, Kelly O’Brien (Steven) and Kristy Ciesielski (Nicholas); and seven beautiful grandchildren that he adored.

A Celebration of Life will be held in Fairfield, California, in early August with family and friends to honor his full and blessed life, his trademark flip flops, and the many ‘moons’ spent together.

It needs a warmup, and there’s a period of peak performance

before it gets fatigued and burns out. It would be silly to blame yourself for not having more of a finite quantity.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). You’ll make mischief, though not out of a desire for rebellion; rather, you’d like to lighten the mood with the sort of playfulness that is the very effervescence of life.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Those who are not self-aware are also not going to be aware of you, and you are wise to set your expectations accordingly. At the art of calibrating your expectations, you are becoming an aficionado.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

An acute and nostalgic pang will accompany your thoughts about the gathering aspects of life, and you’ll spend time making grand plans for better eras.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: David Letterman holds the record for the longest-serving late-night talk show host in American history. True to his Aries origins, he created his own brand of humor, which included top 10 lists, stupid pet tricks and a wit that won’t quit.

In his Netflix series, “My Next Guest Needs No Introduction,” Letterman delved into more in-depth interviews than was possible in other formats.

How should East defend against three no-trump after his partner leads a low spade?

At first glance, that was an inspired lead by West. However, it was logical as North had not investigated a majorsuit fit, and because West had such a weak hand, it was reasonable to attack in one of the majors, hoping to find partner’s long suit.

Almost anyone who is sitting East will take the first four tricks before exiting with the heart jack. How would declarer continue?

He should cash his red-suit winners, learning that West began with three spades, at least three hearts and five diamonds. Therefore, West has at most two clubs. Declarer will play a club to dummy’s king and return a club, claiming when the queen appears from East.

Seems straightforward, but now imagine that East takes only three spade tricks, keeping the seven in his KEEP THE TRICK IN pocket, before shifting to the heart YOUR POCKET jack. What would South make of that?

He would assume that West had led In “Don Quixote” you can find, “A little in one’s own pocket is better than from 10-fourth of spades. Then the contract would be safe if declarer much in another man’s purse.”

However, disaster likely you will have to add to an strikes.

LeVar Burton’s fans want him to host ‘Jeopardy!’

Tribune Content Agency Geordi La Forge is here for it.

At least, LeVar Burton, the actor who played the chief engineer on the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-E in “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” is.

The former host of “Reading Rainbow” is ready to emcee another show, and appears to be lobbying to fill Alex Trebek’s ample shoes.

The late “Jeopardy!” host, who died in November of pancreatic cancer after headlining the show for decades, has so far been succeeded by a series of guest hosts as the show seeks new footing, while staying rooted in its dedication to sound science and provable facts.

Burton is also known for his role as the teenage Kunta Kinte in the original “Roots,” in addition to his spell on “Star Trek: The Next Generation” and assorted movies in the sci-fi franchise.

For 23 years, the actor shared his passion for reading on “Reading Rainbow” on PBS. The show encouraged viewers to visit local libraries, find joy in reading and exercise their imagination in the form of stories.

On Monday, Burton tweeted his implicit support for a petition posted on Change.org by linking to it.

“Leaving this here in the event the powers that be are listening . . .” he wrote, clearly game to helm yet another enterprise.

We need to remove our blinders

H

ave you ever wondered why it seems so easy for us to go through life with blinders on?

It seems as a species we have the uncanny ability to absorb only that which we want to see, hear and feel while blocking out everything contradictory. The result is we all get played, to one extent or another, by those who relentlessly put out a message we will feel good about.

Paraphrasing former Vice President Al Gore: Facts are inconvenient things. So, politically, we see advocates on both sides relentlessly spinning facts to agendas.

Thinking for ourselves is Jim McCully hard and we must train ourselves to do it. My wife’s mother had a phrase for her children, especially when they were being intellectually lazy or looking for a shortcut where her Mom would do their work and give them the answer. She would tell them: “You have a brain. Use it.” Another quote I like on the subject of thinking attributed to that very smart, gay, liberal, funny woman Lily Tomlin: “The road to success is always under construction.”

Humanity thinks principally in two ways: One, linear thinking, as in from Point A to Point B, which is analytical, rational and logical characteristically. Our brains are generally wired to want things to simply progress in a straightforward fashion, connecting things sequentially. All being premised upon truth and logic often in short supply in our nonliner world and especially politically over the past four years. Two, nonlinear thinking, which is the opposite, meaning not thinking along straight lines at all. In nonlinear thinking, we make connections among seemingly unrelated concepts or ideas. We draw conclusions from a number of different fields of thought or backgrounds. Nonlinear thinkers are rather abstract in their views.

Simplistically, linear thinkers are binary thinkers where issues are either on or off, yes or no. Nonliner thinkers often excel at the arts and the social science arena where things tend to be more abstract and indefinite by nature.

Either type of thinking in extreme is often fruitless and sometimes dangerously wrong.

In America today we seem to have these two types of thinkers, in some ways, identifying politically. The often-older generation (baby boomers, etc.) some labeled as ultra-conservatives with obvious, to them, predictable causes and effects of failed social engineering, and the younger (millennials, etc.) many labeled progressives with obvious, to them, dreams of what should be, each clashing with the other to a serious and potentially dangerous degree.

We have Americans looking at each other as the enemy of freedom and what is right and proper as each side defines it.

We have just gone through four years of constant contention where President Donald Trump was vilified from Day One, where regardless of what positive and good things the president did, and there were many, they were rejected immediately by the so-called progressives.

Any of us who have had children or grandchildren on college campuses know the education establishment has, for years, been all but solely left-wing Democrats in political thought. It’s been turbulent at least and out of control at worst.

Interestingly, we have seen this in the social science (nonlinear) arenas of campuses.

Whereas, the math and hard sciences (linear) areas of the campuses were peaceful. This appears universally true from border to border and coast to coast.

We have hard decisions to make. We’re using Covid-19 as a political foil, e.g. the $1.9 trillion so-called Covid Relief Act had only 9% allocated to Covid-specific issues, the rest being partisan pork. Inflation is rearing its ugly head; the stock market seems poised for a sharp correction. Many are worried.

What’s to do, folks? How about we take off our blinders actually think and speak civilly with each other for a change.

I I was prompted to this by also recall now that all those last week’s The Right Stuff predictions relied on maincolumn that I thought was taining our usual pretty fair and balanced Jack Batson immigration rates, a fact (except for the headline I had ignored.

“Citizenship must be earned,” which The well-regarded Conference is pretty sketchy legally. But headBoard is a major voice about labor lines are chosen by the DR). shortages. I found this comment So I’ve been researching the topic about labor shortages in one of their and it became immediately obvious articles: “. . . it would take a virtual that the subject is like quicksand – miracle to maintain the growth rate the more you step in, the deeper you in standard of living we have historifind it to be. The subject is complically enjoyed . . . in the coming cated and vast. decade.” Ouch. We all like our I eventually realized that I have standard of living. conflicting impulses, one of the heart Then this, from the then-acting and one of the mind. That is, my presidential chief of staff, Mick emotions disagreed with my reason.

I’ve found that factually we have a Mulvaney, speaking at an Oxford Union discussion last year: “We are serious labor shortage and a serious desperate – desperate – for more “baby bust.” I’ve discovered that the people. . . . We are running out of labor shortage will do serious harm people to feed economic growth.” I to our economy at some future point. did not learn how his boss reacted Both will jeopardize our retirement when he returned from London. and medical care systems.

After I learned that Trump has How inconvenient for my emotions. And that’s because I admit that reduced legal immigration by 50%, I read this from the National FoundaI resent seemingly hordes of immition for American Policy: “The grants showing up at our southern significant decline in the annual level border and seemingly to say blithely, of legal immigration means that “OK, lemmie in.” “Well, no,” I think.

“We have a border and we have laws, lower long-term economic growth may be Donald Trump’s most lasting and you have no entitlement to just economic legacy.” Ah, Donald come on in.” Does that make me a Trump; the gift that keeps on giving. conservative? How shocking.

So we have a labor shortage, So, here goes.

First, our demographic problem. especially in blue-collar workers and

especially – surprise – in manufacturing. But personal care, meatpacking, construction, farm labor and skilled work are short, too.

White-collar work has lots fewer shortages.

Next, our baby bust. First, we’ve known for ages that when women move to the city and get an education, the birth rates decline. (Whites in the U.S. illustrated this first, but now all ethnicities do, too.) Also, we know that we need 2.1 births per woman of child-bearing age (15-44) to just maintain the population. And we know that we dipped below that number beginning in 1971. Yet we didn’t have labor problems because of immigration.

When the Great Recession hit, birthrate decline went to crash. By 2018 our birthrate hit a low of 1.73, and then the whammy, the novel coronavirus pandemic. People predicted that all that time at home would result in a solution to the problem but it didn’t happen. We will have the fewest births in our history in 2021.

So I have a fraught decision to make: heart or head. My head now tells me that we need immigration, yes, lots of immigration. My head also tells me that these people are desperate. But like conservatives, my heart feels sad that the country I see today doesn’t resemble the country I was born into.

More next time.

Some of the disputes over representation election outcomes have been raging for years without resolution.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Supreme Court is now weighing the constitutionality of a state law granting the UFW access to farmers’ property to talk to workers – one of the Legislature’s many previous pro-union acts.

Fire: County plans From Page One posted on the county’s LNU website page.

The LNU Lightning Complex Fire started early Aug. 17 in Napa County and ultimately surrounded Lake Berryessa. The Hennessey Fire, the largest fire of the LNU complex that ultimately scorched portions of six counties, is the fire that burned into Solano County late Aug. 18 and early Aug. 19.

Six people died as a result of the fire, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection reports. Five people were injured, including one first responder.

A total of 309 single-family homes were destroyed by the fire in rural Solano County. A total of 1,491 structures were destroyed across the larger fire complex.

Hennessey, eight fires that sparked in Napa County and quickly merged into one megafire, also burned across portions of Yolo, Lake and Colusa counties, charring nearly 477.58 square miles (305,651 acres) – 65.625 square miles acres) in (42,000 Solano County.

The larger fire complex includes two smaller fires in Sonoma County and charred more than 567.53 square miles (363,220 acres). The fire burned until Oct. 2. The complex fire is the fifth-largest fire in the state’s modern history, dating back to 1932.

It’s the 11th

most-destructive fire of the modern era and is tied for 11th as the most-deadly fire, Cal Fire reports.

Hennessey by itself would rank seventh on the list of the state’s largest fires.

Short-term vacation rental, other action The board on Tuesday also will hold a public hearing at 2 p.m. on a shortterm vacation rental permit application for 4376 Edinburg Court in the Green Valley Highlands area.

The application came before the Planning Commission, which was divided 2-2, so the matter automatically comes to the Board of Supervisors.

The board meets at 9 a.m. in the virtual meeting. Directions on how to join the meeting and participate are on the agenda. Go to www. solanocounty.com, click on the Board of Supervisors link under the Department heading and then go to the Board Meeting Minutes and Agencies link on the left side of the page.

The board will meet in a closed session after the morning session, during which the supervisors will be updated on consideration for a Library Services director and on four legal matters.

The board also will consider as part of the early session a resolution to amend the Microenterprise Home Kitchen Operations policy to align with Covid-19 restrictions.

Worries grow after volcano erupts Tribune Content Agency The eastern Caribbean island of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, which saw the eruption of its La Soufriere volcano for the first time in 42 years, woke up Sunday to heavy ash fall everywhere, more explosive eruptions, minor earthquakes overnight and a new worry: the possible destruction of communities from heavy flows of lava droplets and hot gas.

Lead geologist Richard Robertson said while

white-colored volcanic ash covered everything from rooftops and roads to the island’s vegetation, scientists with the University of the West Indies Seismic Research Center were becoming increasingly concerned about the destruction of communities near the volcano.

A video obtained by the team, he said, showed evidence of pyroclastic flows, the fast-moving volcanic ash, lava droplets and hot gas that can incinerate everything in

its path, instantly.

“They will tend to boil the sea and they will shoot across the sea as a foam of rapidly moving hot air,” Robertson said. “We don’t have lava flows, the nice flow, running things, that’s red. . . . What we have is fragments of rocks, and boulders and other things that shoot down the mountainside very fast and destroy everything.”

Robertson said mountainside communities near La Soufriere not only have to ”survive

the heavy ash, but now they have the potential of being destroyed by these flows that go down the mountainside.”

“These flows are really moving masses of destruction,” he said during an appearance on a local news program along with Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves.

“If you have the strongest house in the world, they will just bulldoze it off the ground.”

Emergency officials described the country as looking like “a battle-zone.”

Covid: Toll slowing Coffee: Company opens 4th location From Page One Columbia and Puerto Rico.

California has the lowest cumulative Covid-19 per capita death rate of the eight most populous states in the nation, according to a Times analysis of Johns Hopkins University data.

Besides California, the eight most populous states are Texas, Florida, New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Georgia.

California has a cumulative Covid-19 death rate, per 100,000 residents, of 153. New Jersey and New York have the highest cumulative death rates in the nation, with death rates per 100,000 residents of 280 and 260, respectively. If California had New York’s cumulative Covid-19 death rate, California’s cumulative Covid-19 death toll would exceed 101,000.

The state has recently observed a dramatic slowing of the average number of deaths being reported daily. In recent days, California has reported an average of 105 to 120 Covid-19 deaths a day – the lowest such number reported since the autumn-and-winter wave began. At its worst, in late January, California was recording as many as 562 deaths a day, on average, over a seven-day period.

By the weekend, California was reporting an average of 110 deaths a day over the last week; that’s a 14% decrease over the previous week.

The pandemic’s effect statewide has varied by region. Of California’s most populous regions, Los Angeles County has fared the worst. For every 100,000 residents, LA County has recorded

232 deaths; if LA County were a state, it would have the seventh highest death rate.

The San Francisco Bay Area has fared far better; for every 100,000 residents, the Bay Area has recorded 79 deaths. If the nine-county Bay Area were a state, it would have the 45th highest cumulative Covid-19 death rate in the nation of the 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.

Cumulatively, counties in Southern California and the San Joaquin Valley have reported the highest per capita death rates in the state, with the 14 hardest-hit counties, in descending order: Imperial, Los Angeles, Inyo, San Bernardino, Stanislaus, Riverside, San Joaquin, Tulare, Fresno, Merced, Kings, Orange, Madera and Kern.

A big contributing factor to the worse death rates in Southern California included the large proportion of residents who must leave home to work and also live in crowded homes, which makes it easier for the coronavirus to spread once a member of a household is infected.

Southern California and the San Joaquin Valley generally have a higher social vulnerability than the Bay Area, meaning that factors like poverty and crowded housing cause many of these communities to be more vulnerable in a disaster like a pandemic.

Gov. Gavin Newsom faces a potential recall vote over his handling of the pandemic, with critics opposing restrictions he ordered that closed a number of businesses to slow the spread of disease, calling them economically devastating.

Union: Supporters vow to continue fight From Page One worth an estimated $51 million, one of the largest financial enticements the company has ever received to open a warehouse. At around the same time, the nearby city of Birmingham constructed three giant faux-Amazon cardboard boxes around town, part of an unsuccessful promotional stunt to try to lure Amazon’s second headquarters to the city. Like a lot of other states, Alabama wanted Amazon and its jobs in a time of widespread economic anxiety.

Employees seemed to get that voting for a union and thumbing their collective noses at Amazon Chief Executive Officer Jeff Bezos would have interfered with that objective. Out of more than 3,000 ballots cast by mail, 1,798 rejected the union.

The RWDSU plans to appeal the vote and has alleged that Amazon coerced workers into voting “no” through a variety of illegal means, such as forcing the post office to put a mailbox outside the facility to collect votes – a suspected intimidation tactic.

For its part, Amazon seemed interested in putting the saga behind it and moving on.

But before it comfortably retires with its victory, Amazon will likely stop to carefully consider the Bessemer saga. Though it won decisively, the battle was unusually bruising, and the public is likely to remember the entire ordeal mainly for Amazon’s ham-fisted responses to criticism from U.S. Sens. Bernie Sanders and

Jenny Jarvie/Los Angeles Times/TNS

A sign outside the Amazon Fulfillment Center Bessemer, Alabama, after meeting with workers and organizers involved in the Amazon BHM1 facility unionization effort, represented by the Retail, Wholesale, and Department Store Union.

Elizabeth Warren, and the accusation that the company’s drivers often have to relieve themselves in bottles while on the road.

To avoid running headlong into the next battle in an escalating war with a resurgent organized labor movement that is backed by the U.S. president, Amazon probably needs to act on a few important lessons.

The first is to listen more carefully to employees. Amazon, of course, would publicly vow that already it does so, religiously; but it didn’t instill much faith when it denied that its drivers were forced to use bottles along their routes, then apologized for the tweet a few days later and acknowledged it was a problem. During the union fight, Amazon employees told other harrowing stories; about being ordered into mandatory overtime without much forewarning or explanation; long walks to the breakroom or bathroom that eat into their two, half-

hour breaks in a 10-hour shift; and the physical toll that comes from standing on their feet for a whole workday.

Bessemer employees who voted against the union say they plan to ensure the company listens to these complaints. “We already have a seat at the table, and we are talking to senior management about things we want to change,” said Will Stokes, an Amazon worker that the company made available in a Zoom press conference on Friday after the vote counting was completed. “Give us the next 100 days and let’s see what happens.”

Amazon will also have to address concerns that the fight in Bessemer indicated a larger problem in its relationship with Black workers.

In the late 1990s, Amazon opened a fulfillment center in McDonough, Georgia, another predominantly Black town 30 miles south of Atlanta, then went through several

management changes and ultimately closed the warehouse a few years later, at a time when it desperately needed more fulfillment capacity. The company never offered an explanation.

Other examples of labor unrest in Amazon’s network have also involved Black employees. In 2018, a large Somali immigrant workforce at a fulfillment center in Minneapolis attempted to negotiate collectively with the company; last year, Black employees in Staten Island called for unionization after highlighting what they believed were safety shortcomings during the pandemic. A recent Vox story also highlighted reports of bias and disrespect against Black workers in Amazon’s white-collar workforce.

In the Zoom press conference, another employee, Lavonette Stokes, called for greater “sensitivity and unconscious bias training” for managers.

Finally, Amazon might have to reconsider the transitory nature of work in its fulfillment centers.

The company trumpets its $15 hourly wage, which is about the national median for “hand laborers and material movers,” according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics – as well as the prospect of 55-cent perhour raises every six months. But what’s not as commonly known is that these raises stop after an employee reaches three years of service, unless he or she is promoted.

The ceiling is deliberate: Amazon wants employees either to matriculate into management or leave the company for opportunities elsewhere.

Adults From Page A3 people who are fully vaccinated can meet indoors without masks, without incurring significant risk.

Also, they can visit relatively safely with people who haven’t been vaccinated, so long as those individuals are healthy and gatherings remain small.

Still, with coronavirus variants circulating and 55,000 new infections reported daily, the CDC continues to recommend precautions elsewhere, such as wearing masks, staying physically distant in public and refraining from air travel.

How are older adults who’ve been fully vaccinated – a privileged group, to be sure, given the millions of seniors who’ve yet to get shots – balancing a desire to shed isolation with a need to stay safe amid a pandemic that’s not yet over? I asked several people I’ve spoken with previously about their plans and their reflections on the difficult year we’ve been through.

Mardell Reed, 80, of Pasadena, told me she wasn’t sure she’d get the vaccine originally, because “I was concerned about the process going so fast and drug companies maybe producing something that wasn’t up to par.” But she changed her mind “once we all started hearing from actual scientists rather than politicians.”

Now, Reed tries to educate people she knows who remain reluctant to get the shots. One of them is her 83-year-old stepsister. “No one had explained anything about the vaccines to her,” Reed told me. “I talked about all the things that would be possible – seeing her daughter, who lives up north, seeing more of her grandkids, and I think that convinced her.”

Reed used to walk in her neighborhood regularly before the pandemic but stopped when she became afraid of being around other people. Reviving that habit is a goal.

Among Reed’s other priorities in the months ahead: visiting with her daughter, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and seeing her primary care physician, a dentist, a neurologist who’s treating nerve damage and an eye doctor. “I didn’t want to go to places where people might be sick this last year; now, it’s time for me to catch up on all that,” she said.

Harry Hutson, 73, and his wife, Mikey, 70, invited two couples to their house in Baltimore, on separate nights, after getting their second Moderna shots in February and waiting two weeks. “We’re going right into having safe dinners with people who’ve been vaccinated,” Hutson told me.

He feels a touch of lingering uncertainty, however. “While we’re 95% sure this is the right thing to do, we’re a little tentative. For a whole year, we’ve had ‘Covid is death’ engrained in us.

After that, you can’t just go back to normal, just like that,” he said.

Hutson has continued working as an executive coach during the pandemic and has recently been giving talks on hope to business groups, nonprofit organizations and churches. “What I tell people is ‘You’ll help yourself by helping others.’

We’re all emerging from trauma and healing has to be a collective, not an individual, endeavor.”

On a personal note, Hutson is going through an attic full of yearbooks, letters and photos, “curating my family’s history.”

He hopes to make an across-the-country road trip with his wife later

Mardell Reed, 80, of Pasadena, says she wasn’t sure she’d get the vaccine originally because “I was concerned about the process going so fast and drug companies maybe producing something that wasn’t up to par.” But she changed her mind once “we all started hearing from actual scientists rather than politicians.” this year visiting his son’s family in Madison, Wisconsin, his daughter’s family in Portland, Oregon, and his brother in Eugene, Oregon, as well as several friends.

Marian Hollingsworth, 67, of La Mesa, spent last spring and summer sequestered at home with her husband, Ed, 72, who had stomach cancer, focused on keeping Ed safe from the coronavirus. But his illness progressed and, in early October, Ed died at home, where the couple’s four adult children had gathered to say goodbye.

Since then, Hollingsworth’s son Morgan, 27, who lives in New York City, has stayed with his mom, keeping her company. But grief struck hard: Hollingsworth lost weight and couldn’t sleep at night despite profound fatigue.

“It was like getting hit by the biggest Mack truck you could find,” she told me.

The pandemic’s resur-

gence in the fall and winter made adjusting to Ed’s loss “even more of a challenge,” Hollingsworth said, since she couldn’t get together with friends or get hugs – a form of contact she longed for. To this day, his clothes hang in the closet because the places she’d like to send them aren’t accepting donations.

When Hollingsworth became fully vaccinated in early March, she said, she felt for the first time that “my head was coming up above water.” Although she’s not sure, yet, how much she wants to go out and see people, she’s looking forward to simple pleasures: petting the neighbor’s dog and going on “distanced walks” with a few friends. “I’m going to be cautious until there’s more clarity about what’s really safe,” she told me.

Wilma Jenkins, 82, who lives in South Fulton, Georgia, has struggled with depression off and

on for years – a challenge she’s spoken about publicly in talks to older adults.

This fall and winter, isolated at home, “it’s been rough for me – it’s just been so sad,” she admitted.

Even though Jenkins describes herself as an “introvert,” she made sure she had regular social contact before the pandemic. Most days, she’d take herself out to lunch at local restaurants, chatting with the wait staff and other regular customers.

One of Jenkins’ great loves is music – the blues and jazz. A few days after we spoke, she was planning to return to her favorite nightclub, St. James Live in Atlanta, to catch a show – her first such outing since becoming fully vaccinated in mid-February.

“I’m not afraid to move back into the world, but I will continue to be masked and socially distanced and wash my hands,” she told me.

Jenkins plans to start walking outside again; go to restaurants, so long as they’re not too crowded; and resume visits with her two daughters, both physicians, who live in Atlanta and Washington, D.C. Her most ambitious goal: flying out to San Diego in late July for a celebration marking her grandson Jamal’s retirement from the Navy.

Barry Dym is haunted by an image that’s recurred often during the past year: He’s on a moving sidewalk, unable to get off, being hurried to a destination he doesn’t want to reach: old age. The image is associated with the pandemic and knee pain that has worsened, painfully, over the past six months, making walking harder.

This past year was a time of adjustment for Dym, who retired four years ago from his work as a consultant to nonprofit organizations. “One of the lessons of Covid for me was I still need to feel useful and I love helping people. I realized maybe I’d pulled back too far.”

So, Dym expanded his coaching and mentoring practice – an activity he plans to continue. “Whatever I can do to help make this world better, I’m not going to stop trying,” he said.

Outside of travel plans with his wife, Franny – to the Florida Keys this spring, to the Berkshires in western Massachusetts in the summer, and perhaps to Israel in the fall – Dym said he finds himself “more curious than anything” about what lies ahead. “I really don’t know what my life will be like.

I’ll have to find out.

Hideki Matsuyama of Japan celebrates on the 18th green after winning the Masters at Augusta National

Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia, Sunday. Matsuyama is the first Japanese golfer to win the Masters.

Breaking ground Matsuyama becomes first Japanese golfer to win Masters, major

Los Angeles Times A U G U S T A , Ga. — Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama secured a spot in golf history Sunday, winning the Masters and becoming the first of his countrymen to collect a major championship.

Despite three bogeys in five holes down the stretch, Matsuyama steadied himself and shot a one-over-par 73 to secure a one-stroke victory at Augusta National, a win witnessed live by smaller galleries amid Covid-19 restrictions.

There was some drama on the 18th hole, after Matsuyama’s approach landed in the greenside bunker.

He calmly blasted out of the sand, missed the putt, then tapped in for the win.

Newcomer Will Zalatoris, making his Masters debut, made a long par

putt on 18 for a two-under 70. He finished every round under par and finished alone in second at nine under.

Matsuyama, 29, paved his path with a spectacular Saturday in which he built a four-shot lead on the field by playing the final eight holes in six under par.

Before Saturday, no Japanese golfer had led or been co-leader after any round of the Masters. Two Japanese women have won major championships.

Prior to this year, the best finishes by Japanese golfers in the Masters were Toshi Izawa, who tied for fourth in 2001, and Shingo Katayama, alone in fourth in 2009.

Matsuyama, who started Sunday with a four-shot lead, held off San Diego’s Xander Schauffele, who was paired with him and went bogey, bogey,

double bogey on the front, but surged on the second nine with consecutive birdies on 12, 13, 14 and 15. But Schauffele’s tee shot landed in the water on the par-three 16th, and after a series of misfires he wound up with his first triple bogey in a major.

Schauffele tied for third at seven-under with three-time majors champion Jordan Spieth, who won last week for the first time in 3½ years.

Dustin Johnson, who set a scoring record (-20) in the postponed Masters, held in November, didn’t mount much of a title defense. He failed to make the cut.

Matsuyama won the 2010 Asia-Pacific Championship, securing an invitation to the Masters, becoming the first Japanese amateur to do so. In his first trip to Augusta

National, he was the tournament’s low amateur and won the Silver Cup. He is the seventh onetime low amateur to win a green jacket.

This was his 10th Masters, with his previous best finish coming in 2015 when he was fifth.

In the most recent world rankings, Matsuyama is 25th and his last tour victory came in 2017, when he won three times.

It had been 87 starts since his last win, at the MGCBridgestone Invitational.

Matsuyama had a bumpy start to his day with a bogey on No. 1, but as ESPN Stats and Info noted, multiple other Masters winners began Sunday with bogeys on that hole, among them Patrick Reed (2018), Adam Scott (2013), Bubba Watson (2012) and Trevor Immelman (2008).

Lone survivor of shooting dies Tribune Content Agency CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Robert Shook, the air conditioning technician wounded Wednesday in a mass shooting in Rock Hill, South Carolina, died Saturday, York County Coroner Sabrina Gast said.

Shook had been the only survivor of the six shooting victims.

Shook was 38. He died at Atrium Health Care in Charlotte after he was airlifted from Wednesday’s shooting scene, Gast said.

Shook was from Grover in Cleveland County, Gast said.

The suspect in the case was former NFL player Phillip Adams, York County Sheriff Kevin Tolson said Thursday. Five people at the home of a prominent local doctor, Robert Lesslie, were found dead at the scene, and Shook was wounded.

Giants finish off sweep Tribune Content Agency SAN FRANCISCO — Led by a lights-out starting rotation and an offense that’s blasting timely home runs, the 6-3 Giants cruised to a sweep of the Rockies at Oracle Park and have won four straight games.

After going 29-31 in an abbreviated 60-game season last summer, the Giants are back over

.500 in the Gabe Kapler era (35-34) and built off a series win over the Padres by limiting the Rockies to four runs in this weekend’s three-game set.

Led by six shutout innings from right-hander Anthony DeSclafani, the Giants won 4-0 Sunday and recorded the team’s first shutout since September 13, 2019, when Tyler Beede tossed eight scoreless frames in a

1-0 win over the Marlins.

A stellar outing from DeSclafani dropped the Giants’ rotation ERA to 2.24 on the season as the club has now had their starters log at least five innings in nine consecutive games to open the season. That streak is the third-longest in franchise history, trailing only the 2002 club (12 starts) and See Giants, Page B8

ANALYSIS The NBA career record for 3-point shooting accuracy, 45.4%, is held by Steve Kerr. Kerr had a respectable 15-year NBA career, playing mostly off the bench, then faded into obscurity, but this dogged reporter tracked him down to talk about 3-point records, shooting and Curry.

Kerr lives in a place called Golden State.

And, what a coincidence, he coaches Curry’s team, the Warriors.

Theoretically, Curry could catch and pass his coach for that career 3-point accuracy record.

Curry sits at 43.3%, so catching Kerr would be See Kerr, Page B8

Fox furious with officials after defeat Tribune Content Agency Kings point guard De’Aaron Fox said he expects the NBA to fine him for criticizing officials following a 128-112 loss to the Utah Jazz on Saturday night at Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City.

Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell stepped in front of Fox as he jawed at officials when the game ended, but Fox was not done voicing his displeasure. He continued to vent during a postgame news conference when asked to describe his frustration with the officiating after he was awarded six free throws while Mitchell went to the line 17 times. “[Expletive] was godawful,” Fox said.

“Mine wasn’t even about me getting there and things like that. It was about the calls they were getting on the other end. If you’re going to call something on one end, call it on

the other end.

“And if somebody’s trying to talk to you, you can’t get in your feelings so quick to where it’s not even a hostile conversation and then you’re saying don’t talk to you. . . .

I mean, you’re coming down guessing on plays where a ball goes out of bounds and they ask you. You don’t know what the f--- is going on and you just call something.

At least go look at the monitor or something.”

Fox said one official was particularly unapproachable. “[Expletive] terrible,” Fox said. “He was terrible and then when you tried to talk to him, he acted like he didn’t want to hear anything or he was too good.”

Mitchell said he was trying to prevent Fox from getting fined when he intervened See Fox, Page B8

Sharks make deal as trade deadline looms Tribune Content Agency Sha rks genera l manager Doug Wilson on Sunday leveraged his team’s ample salary cap space to acquire another mid-round draft pick, and will likely explore more ways to do the same type of deal before today’s NHL trade deadline.

The Sharks acted as a third party in a trade between the Columbus Blue Jackets and Toronto Maple Leafs, netting a 2021 fourthround selection as part of the transaction.

In one trade, Columbus sent forward Nick Foligno to San Jose, retaining 50 percent of what is

remaining on Foligno’s $5.5 million salary for this season. The Sharks then sent Foligno and forward Stefan Noesen to the Maple Leafs for Toronto’s own fourthround selection.

The Sharks are retaining 25 percent of what was left on Foligno’s contract, or $1.375 million.

Food chat

Baste eggs to get pretty whites with runny yolks The Washington Post The Washington Post Food staff recently answered questions about all things edible. Here are edited excerpts from that chat.

Q: My fried eggs always start to overcook on the bottom before all the white is cooked through; I do still want a runny yolk. Any suggestions? Sometimes I put a lid on the pan, but then I get kind of a white film cooked over top my egg yolk. It tastes fine like this but doesn’t look as pretty as I’d like.

A: My strategy for fried eggs is to be generous with the oil in the skillet and then basically “baste” the white with it. Tilt the pan so the oil pools on one side and then spoon it onto the white. This helps cook them on top without overdoing the yolk and before the bottom goes too far.

Making black sesame and coconut mochi is a bit of a balancing act.

— Becky Krystal

Q: My shelf-stable almond-coconut milk, opened three days ago, is making tiny white spots in my coffee, like cow’s milk would if it were starting to spoil. It tasted OK when I took a tiny sip straight. But it’s disconcerting, visually and a little in the mouth, too. I’ve gotten the same result with two different coffees and cups on different days. When I manage to remove some “dots” with a spoon, more appear. The milk is supposed to be good for another month or two. Is it spoiling early? I didn’t know almond-coconut milk could curdle – or whatever this is.

A: Yup, plant-based milks can definitely curdle! Probably due to the heat and acidity. Try putting the milk in the mug first and gradually adding the coffee (to basically temper the milk and prevent a huge temperature shock), letting the coffee cool a bit before adding the milk and heating together.

— B.K.

Q: When I make Mexican(ish) food for dinner, like enchiladas or quesadillas, I am frequently at a loss for what kind of vegetable would go well on the side.

Usually our family eats steamed green beans, broccoli, and lightly charred bell pepper pieces, but I’d be happy to try something new if it lasts well in the fridge. Do you have any suggestions?

A: Rather than thinking about veggies to serve on the side, why not pack those veggies inside enchiladas, quesadillas and tacos?

Roasted peppers (poblanos are a personal favorite); mushrooms; sauteed greens such as chard, spinach or kale; corn; cauliflower.

Try Asparagus and Chickpea Enchiladas. And speaking of chickpeas, beans could of course fill that side role or bulk up those enchiladas or quesadillas.

— Matt Brooks

A: Everything you’re doing sounds good to me! I think a lightly dressed tomato salad made with cherry or grape tomatoes (maybe with corn come summer) would be a refreshing counterpoint to those richer dishes and would be fine in the fridge.

— B.K.

Q: Will using a scotch pad on my cast iron ruin the seasoning? Or does my need to use a scotch pad to clean my cast iron skillet mean that it’s not properly seasoned?

A: I wouldn’t use something that abrasive on cast iron. Nonscratch sponges are fine; ditto chain mail scrubbers designed for the task.

If food is sticking, yes, I would try to give the seasoning a bit more care. I love kosher salt for scraping stuck-on food. It won’t damage the seasoning. Add a bunch of salt to the skillet and a very little bit of water, and scrub away.

mochi a joy to make, treat to eat

Becky Krystal

T

The Washington Post

o say I am persistent would be an understatement. Stubborn is more like it, which is not a bad thing when it comes to mastering a recipe, especially one I plan on sharing with you.

So when my first batch of Black Sesame and Coconut Mochi from Hetty McKinnon’s new book, the beautiful and approachable “To Asia, With Love,” wasn’t quite as pretty as the little snowballs on the page, I went back to it.

Again and again.

Not quite like bread dough but not your standard cookie dough either, mochi is a class in itself. Made with glutinous rice flour, this dough is hydrated and heated so that the starches absorb water, swell and burst. (The traditional method involves steaming and pounding cooked rice.) The result is a sticky dough that can be rolled and molded around a variety of fillings. While McKinnon grew up eating the Cantonese version known as lo mai chi, filled with red bean paste or peanut and coconut, here she uses the name for the popular Japanese treat. Her rendition is stuffed with a nottoo-sweet mix of ground black sesame seeds, coconut cream and desiccated coconut.

It’s just the right balance of sweet and savory, satisfying and restrained.

Turns out, making them is a bit of a balancing act, too.

It’s the kind of recipe that requires attentiveness but not a lot in the way of advanced skills or equipment. I hesitate to call it a project, because that almost seems off-putting, though you’ll want to set aside about an hour, clear off the counter and, if desired, recruit a few eager helpers (dare I say kids, especially if you’re not worried about appearances). Here are a few of my keys to success: n Pay attention. Making the dough on the stove top requires constant stirring to prevent burning and to ensure that the glutinous rice flour (I bought mine at my regular supermarket) thickens evenly.

It will look like nothing is happening until it does, quickly. I had the best luck on my electric cooktop on medium-high heat, but if yours runs hotter,

you may wish to use medium.

Adjust as needed. n Rolling the dough into the mochi balls requires the dough be warm enough to be malleable and adhere to itself but not so hot that you burn yourself or end up with an amorphous mass. If it’s too cool, it won’t form neat balls, either. Let the dough cool on the counter for a few minutes, but try to work with it while it’s still fairly warm, keeping in mind it will continue to cool as you go. If you’re worried about speed, cut only a quarter or half of the dough at a time – smaller pieces will cool faster. n Similar to temperature, you want the right balance when it comes to the cornstarch. Too much on the board, dough or your hands, and the dough will dry out and not adhere to itself. Too little and it sticks like the dickens. Apply an even layer to the board, a little less on top of the dough and a light dusting on your hands when shaping, reapplying as needed. It may take one or two mochi to figure it out by touch, and that’s OK. I’ve done my best to coach you, but there’s no substitute for getting the feel of it yourself. Remember, even homely mochi will taste fantastic. n If you’ve never made fresh mochi and bite into one only to find that it’s chewy and gelatinous . . . you’ve nailed it! It can be a whole new sensation for anyone who has only had the frozen ones filled with ice cream, but know that these mochi are different.

I’m a huge fan of the squishy texture, though not all my tasters were. The skeptics were all won over after freezing, which you’ll need to do anyway after 24 hours. After a day, the mochi lose their shape and springiness.

Black Sesame and Coconut Mochi 1 hour 12 servings (makes 12 mochi) If you’re already a fan of the delightfully soft and squishy treat, you’ll love this not-too-sweet rendition of mochi. If not, it will win you over.

Cookbook author Hetty McKinnon, who grew up eating the Chinese version known as lo mai chi, says the dessert may seem daunting to make, but in reality it’s a fun, approachable project involving wrapping dough around a filling.

To make superfine sugar, process granulated sugar (use slightly more

than the recipe calls for, around 190 grams) in a food processor until it is more finely ground. Take care not to turn it into powdered sugar.

Pro tip: Heat gelatinizes the starches in the rice flour and turns them quite gluey, so it’s preferable to wash your equipment with cold water. Let soak first for easier cleaning.

Storage notes: The mochi are best eaten immediately, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 24 hours. After that, store in the freezer and eat frozen for up to 1 month.

Where to buy: Black sesame seeds and glutinous rice flour are available at well stocked supermarkets, Asian markets and online. If you find roasted seeds, skip the toasting step.

For the filling: 1 ⁄2 cup plus 2 tablespoons (75 grams) black sesame seeds (may substitute white sesame seeds; see headnote) 1 tablespoon superfine sugar (see headnote) 3 tablespoons coconut cream (not cream of coconut) 1 tablespoon desiccated coconut Pinch sea salt For the dough: 3 ⁄4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (150 grams) glutinous rice flour (sweet rice flour, such as Mochiko brand) 1 1⁄4 cups (300 milliliters) water 3 ⁄4 cup (170 grams) superfine sugar (see headnote) Cornstarch, for dusting 3 tablespoons desiccated coconut, for rolling Make the filling: In a medium skillet over low heat, toast the sesame seeds, shaking occasionally, just until aromatic, 4 to 5 minutes (they can burn in a second). Transfer to a plate or bowl and let cool. (Skip this step if you’ve bought roasted seeds.)

Transfer the toasted sesame seeds and 1 tablespoon of the superfine sugar to a food processor or blender and process until finely ground and well combined.

You may still see some flakes of the sesame seeds; they won’t break down all the way. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl. Add the coconut cream, desiccated coconut and salt, and stir well to form a thick paste, mashing the coconut cream as you stir to ensure it’s fully incorporated.

Make the dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together the rice flour and water. Pour the mixture into a fine-mesh strainer set over a medium saucepan, using a flexible spatula to press it through and into the pan. Stir in the superfine sugar. Place the saucepan over

medium-high heat and, using a flexible spatula, stir constantly until you have a very sticky blob of dough, 6 to 8 minutes. Scrape the bottom and sides of the pot as you stir to prevent scorching. At first it will look like nothing is happening, and then it will thicken very quickly. You’ll know you’ve reached the right point when stirring feels like a real workout, with the dough putting up lots of resistance. Remove from the heat.

Place a sheet of parchment paper on a cutting board and sprinkle with cornstarch – you want an even layer to prevent sticking but not so much you dry out the dough immediately. Tip the dough onto the paper and allow to cool slightly for a few minutes. Too hot and the dough will be too loose to shape, but too cool and it won’t be firm enough to form into neat balls. It should still be fairly warm to the touch.

Keep in mind it will continue to cool after cutting and as you work your way through the batch.

Sprinkle the top of the dough lightly with more cornstarch. Cut the dough into 12 equal pieces, ideally with a bench scraper (it can be easier to visualize if you cut the round into fourths and then divide each of those into thirds).

Sprinkle the desiccated coconut onto a plate or shallow dish.

Dust your hands with a little cornstarch before handling the sticky dough (an excessive amount will dry out the dough too much and make forming the balls harder). Roll a piece into a ball, then flatten into a disc 2 1⁄2 to 3 inches wide. The dough should be soft and malleable. Place about 1 1⁄2 teaspoons of the filling in the center, then pull the sides up and over the filling, pinching and twisting to seal the dough.

It can help to flip the round seam side down to form it into a neater ball. Roll the mochi in the coconut, pressing a little to help it adhere, reshaping the ball as needed. If your hands are feeling sticky, just dust again with cornstarch. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling (you may have a little filling left over, which can be stirred into yogurt or oatmeal).

Work as quickly and confidently as you can so the dough doesn’t get too cold.

Serve immediately.

Oscars 2021: How and where to watch the top contenders

Crossword

Chuck Barney

The Mercury News, (TNS)

If you’re as passionate about movies as we are, you’re on the clock right now.

The 93rd Academy Awards telecast (April 25, ABC) is fast approaching and it’s time to cram in as many of the standout films as possible in order to be ready to rock Hollywood’s big night.

The bad news is that, because of the coronavirus, getting to a movie theater has been a lot more difficult – and not even an option for some.

But the good news is that there are plenty of ways to see the top nominees from the comfort of our homes. (Bless you, Netflix).

With that in mind, here are 12 films to check out in the days ahead.

Best Picture nominees:

“The Father” Anthony Hopkins delivers one of his best performances in years as an aging man struggling to come to terms with his dementia and memory loss.

Olivia Colman plays his daughter. The film is an adaptation of writer-director Florian Zeller’s acclaimed stage play. In addition to Best Picture, “The Father” has earned five other nominations, including best actor (Hopkins) and best supporting actress (Colman).

Where to watch: Available to rent on Amazon Prime.

“Judas and the Black Messiah” Daniel Kaluuya plays activist Fred Hampton, who was chairman of the Illinois Black Panther Party in the late 1960s. The film details how the FBI targeted Hampton and relied on an informant (LaKeith Stanfield) to infiltrate the organization. Kaluuya, who is pitted against Stanfield in the supporting actor race, has already collected a Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild and Critics’ Choice award for his performance.

South started with seven top tricks: one spade (trick one), one heart, three diamonds and two clubs. He presumably had an eighth available by taking the heart finesse, but from where would No. 9 come?

If spades were 6-1, declarer could duck a club to East, but South sensed that the spades were 5-2. Suddenly he saw the solution. He returned a spade at trick two!

If West had not taken all of his spade tricks, declarer would have conceded a club trick to East. But West cashed them. Declarer discarded one heart and one club from each hand, while East threw two diamonds and one heart.

B8 Monday, April 12, 2021 — DAILY REPUBLIC

Kerr: Curry could threaten his record From Page B1 a long shot, but Curry is a long shot.

During our phone conversation, I commented that the previous night’s game was a perfect scenario for Kerr: The Warriors won, but Curry had a lousy shooting night, thereby decreasing his chances of ever catching Kerr.

“Stop it! Stop it!” Kerr said, laughing. “That is definitely false.”

True, that is false. Kerr is Curry’s most eloquent admirer, the Keats to Curry’s Grecian urn, and in our discussion the Warriors coach was about to take his respect to a cosmic level.

Kerr broke in as an NBA head coach seven seasons ago, equipped most notably with a revolutionary offense designed to maximize Curry’s 3-point shooting.

So far, so good. The Warriors won the NBA title that first season. The next season, Curry exploded, as he went from 286 made 3s – then the NBA record – to 402 as the Warriors won 73 games.

Kerr knows not only how to design a 3-dominant offense, he also knows how to shoot the 3.

Along with his NBA record, he holds the NCAA men’s record for career 3-point shooting accuracy, 57.3% (minimum 100 attempts). In Kerr’s senior season at Arizona (1987-88), the NCAA adopted the 3-point shot and Kerr sank 114 of 199.

He also made at least one 3-pointer in all 38 Arizona games, easily the NCAA record, though

Kerr was not aware of that record until our discussion.

“That was a fun team,” Kerr said, “and I had an incredible shooting season, until the last game. I shot 2-for-12 (in a semifinal loss to Oklahoma), a game that still haunts me. We had a great team, so I was shooting wide-open shots all season, I just got into a groove and stayed in it, until that last miserable game.”

Kerr’s shooting form was technically sound but unremarkable. Curry’s shot is a wonder of physics, a cheat code. I asked Kerr if he would have tried to copy any of Curry’s form back in the day, had they been contemporaries.

That’s when Kerr went deep.

“I would copy not so much the stroke, but the confidence,” Kerr said.

“And I know it’s hard to copy confidence, but I look at Steph now and I think, ‘I should have shot a lot more.’ I know it’s a different game, back then we were much more deliberate, especially in the ’90s, and I’m not sure coaches would have gone for quick 3-pointers, like we encourage now. But I was my own worst enemy.

I was too cautious, I was too self-conscious.

“There’s a lot of times I watch Steph and I just admire the fluidity and the flow and the grace with which he plays. There’s this feel, there’s this sort of beautiful flow. I felt that on the very best night of the year, but I think Steph seeks that feeling night in and night out, he sort of lives in that flow.

“That’s what I would take from Steph. I think I was actually better than I thought I was. I didn’t have the belief and that willingness to let go that’s so beautiful about Steph’s game. That’s one of the things I admire most about him, is he never gets in his own way, he never inhibits himself.

He just plays.”

Is it a fearlessness?

“It’s a fearlessness, it’s a belief, but it’s also, I think, an extension of his hand-eye. It would be hard to say to someone who didn’t have good hand-eye coordination, ‘Emulate Steph.’ But if you have good hand-eye, if you’re a player with good touch on the ball, good feel, I think it’s a quality that can be emulated, just that search for the elusive flow that every sports psychologist writes about. That’s what embodies Steph, that feeling.”

That feeling had been exhibited in the Warriors’ previous game, when Curry was ice cold but kept shooting.

“At 2-for-15, my god!”

Kerr said. “I mean, at 2-for-9, I would be curled up in a corner, sucking my thumb, calling for my mama. And he’s just out there, and he’s just flowing, searching for it.

Almost observing, rather than judging, like a Buddhist – just observing the circumstances, and that’s why he’s so likely to catch fire. He doesn’t allow himself to go down a bad path.

“Looking back, I wish I’d taken more (3s), I wish I’d gotten out of my own way.”

Kerr was no slouch. He

helped blaze a trail that Curry turned into an Autobahn. Kerr’s 3-point exploits that one season at Arizona helped legitimize the college 3-pointer, which was on trial, scorned by many as a cheesy gimmick.

In the NBA, the 3-pointer was adopted for the 1979-80 season, but for many years the 3 was strictly a desperation heave, not part of any team’s offense. In Kerr’s eighth playing season, 1995-96, he became a much more active 3 shooter, going from 170 3s attempted the previous season, to 237, shooting them at a 51.5% clip. That was the season the Bulls started their second three-peat of the Michael Jordan era, and Kerr’s long-range sniping gave a ton of court cred to the 3-ball.

So Kerr’s shooting helped usher in a new age of bombs away, a trend boosted by coaches like Steve Kerr. But he waves off any comparison with Curry as a shooter.

“Steph makes more in two seasons than I made in 15,” noted Kerr, who said he and Curry have never discussed Kerr’s 3-point shooting record. “I just shot when I was wide open, the degree of difficulty is not even close.

I mean, it’s nice to have that record, and it’s definitely a badge of honor for me, but when I think of what Steph and Klay (Thompson) do, they’re playing a different game than when I played.”

But they’re playing it on the backs of giants – players and coaches – who paved the way.

Done: Center leaves after odd landing From Page B1 that the scans revealed serious knee damage.

Further consultation with doctors over the next few days will inform the Warriors’ plan of action

and Wiseman’s timeline for return, a team spokesperson said.

The Warriors’ No. 2 overall pick in the draft, Wiseman had recently shown signs of a breakthrough before the injury.

He had totaled 27 points on 18-for-29 shooting and 17 rebounds over his final three games.

The injury occurred when Wiseman landed awkwardly after Rockets forward Kenyon Martin Jr.

blocked his dunk attempt less than a minute into the second quarter of Saturday’s win. Wiseman grabbed his right knee in pain, headed to the locker room and did not return to the game.

Giants: Belt smashes homer in victory From Page B1 the 1937 team (10 starts).

A Giants lineup that has yet to break a game wide open gave DeSclafani an early lead to protect as left fielder Alex Dickerson launched a solo home run over the right center field wall before Evan Longoria drove in Brandon Belt from second on a single up the middle.

The Giants immediately forced Rockies righty Germán Márquez into a high-stress situation as he needed 36 pitches to complete the first, but they also took advantage of a defensive lapse from the Colorado starter and his infielders. With the count 3-2 on Longoria and the Rockies electing not to hold him close to the bag, Belt took an extended

lead off first base and ran to second safely before Márquez realized what was happening.

Longoria sent the next pitch from Márquez into center field for a single, allowing Belt to race home for the second run of the inning.

Five innings later, Belt gave Márquez a parting gift as he launched a hanging slider over the right field

wall to give the Giants a 3-0 lead. Belt’s first home run of the season left the bat with a 108.7 mile per hour exit velocity, which is his third-hardest hit ball since Statcast began tracking batted ball data in 2015.

DeSclafani continued his impressive start to the season against a Rockies lineup that swung and missed on 17 of his 94 pitches Sunday.

Shooting: Victim wounded at doc’s home From Page B1 Adams, a 32-year-old Rock Hill native, fired as many as 20 shots during the spree, Tolson said. He died by suicide in his family’s nearby home, according to the sheriff.

Victims of the fatal shooting included the 70-year-old, Lesslie’s wife, Barbara, 69, and two of their

Weather

Fox: Expects fine From Page B1 after the game.

“He was talking to the ref, but the game was over and Fox has been a friend of mine since high school,” Mitchell said. “There’s no reason to lose money over a situation like that. The game’s over, the competition’s over, so now that’s my guy. I’m going to make sure he doesn’t lose money in that situation.”

Fox appreciated the thought from Mitchell, but he was still anticipating a fine.

“The way the NBA works, I’m probably going to get fined anyways for talking to a ref and that is what it is,” Fox said. “But Don and I are cool off

the court, obviously, and between the lines we’re competitors going after each other, but, yeah, it’s definitely great to have somebody like that.

It’s always great when I’m able to play against someone I’ve known since high school and see how well he’s doing and what he’s doing for his team. As soon as the game is over, the competition is over and we’re back to being boys.”

Kings coach Luke Walton shared Fox’s frustration with the officiating. Utah went to the free-throw line 35 times.

The Kings only attempted 22 free throws despite having a 48-42 advantage in points in the paint.
