Black Lives group calls for oversight commission to review Sheriff’s Office Todd R. Hansen

FAIR F IELD — Members of the Black Lives Matter Benicia organization have called on the Solano County Board of Supervisors to appoint a civilian oversight committee to investigate what they believe are right-wing extremists working within the Sheriff’s Office. They contend that presence represents a threat to

DeSantis signs new election law making it harder for some Floridians to vote Tribune Content Agency FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Six months after a record-breaking 11.1 million Floridians voted in a well-run, widely praised election, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation Thursday that will make it harder for some people to vote in future elections. He touted the law as a fraud-fighting measure – even though neither he nor other supporters came up with any examples of fraud from recent Florida elections that needed any remedies. DeSantis signed the measure into law at a political rally in West Palm Beach, arranged so he could take the action during the Fox News Channel morning show “Fox & Friends.” Hundreds of DeSantis supporters attended the event.

Hannigan said she would support the issue coming to the board for discussion, which would include the sheriff further responding to his investigation into the matter. “I don’t know if it rises to the need of having an oversight commission, but bring it forward . . . agendize it,” Hannigan said. She said she has not spoken to the sheriff personally.

The one thing she will not abide, however, is being called a racist. She said she believes her track record stands on its own, that aside from her marriage to an African-American. The issue is borne out of “3 Percenters” images on social media accounts linked to three sheriff’s deputies. One of those deputies, Daniel “Cully” Pratt, has issued a response stating

he is not anti-government and has dedicated his professional life to protecting his communities. Vacaville City Councilman Roy Stockton has not returned any calls or emails seeking comment.

This 73-year-old Mother’s Day statue needs a home “She is so beautiful,” Nigh said of the mother in the sculpture. “We want to find her a new home.” The city would like to rededicate it on Mother’s Day 2022, Nigh said, and is open to ideas for a new location, but shies away from private property. Preferably, it will be on city-owned space accessible to the public, she said. News archives report the limestone statue – painted white and with a marble base – was gifted to the city by Orden Caballero De La Luz, described as “a fraternal and benevolent order” with lodges in Cuba and Tampa, which then served as headquarters to the “Grand Lodge of Florida.” The organization still exists, with a grand lodge in Miami but no Tampa chapter. The sculptor, Teodoro Ramos Blanco, was considered “one of Cuba’s most important artists,” according to a history of the statue provided by the city. His artwork received a gold medal at the World’s

Tribune Content Agency TAMPA, Fla. — For six decades, it was a Mother’s Day tradition in Tampa to place flowers at the base of a six-foot sculpture depicting a mother holding a baby while her two small children reach up to hand her flowers. “It was sweet,” said Robin Nigh, manager of arts and cultural affairs for the city of Tampa. The tradition followed the sculpture, titled “Honor to Mothers of the World,” through three locations: the University of Tampa, Ybor City’s Seventh Avenue and finally the city-owned German Club building. But it has been on hold since 2019, when the city sold the German Club – now home to Metro Inclusive Health – and moved the sculpture to a warehouse. Nigh hopes this Mother’s Day is the last the statue spends alone, held in a protective brace made of steel and plywood.

Fair in Seville, Spain in 1929 and can still be found in Baltimore’s Museum of Modern Art. At its dedication on Mother’s Day 1948 in the University of Tampa’s Plant Park, members of the lodge started the tradition of placing flowers at the statue’s base, according to news archives The statue moved to Seventh Avenue outside the old Centro Español clubhouse building in the late 1960s or early 1970s due to the widening of Kennedy Boulevard near University of Tampa. An undated Ybor travel brochure featured the statue in an effort to promote the Latin District as family friendly, smiling parents with a child strolling past it as Flamenco dancers posed with the sculpture. The sculpture was moved to the German Club in 1998. That year, the city had the statue appraised at $65,000, but Nigh estimates it is worth around $90,000 today.

AccuWeather: Conditions coming together for

another historic wildfire season

Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — If April showers bring May flowers, then what does an expansive springtime drought mean for wildfire season? According to AccuWeather meteorologists, an ominous outlook. The significant lack of precipitation in recent months has set the stage for a dangerous season ahead with more than 75% of the western United States experiencing drought conditions, 21% of which is under exceptional drought, which is the most extreme level, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. “The dangerously dry conditions will play a crucial role in wildfire activity potentially consuming millions of acres this season, which unofficially runs from May to October each year,” according to a press release from AccuWeather. However, when those fires arrive and at what

ferocity they burn will depend on a few crucial factors, AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Dave Samuhel said in the press release. This year’s fire season is forecast to burn 14,843.75 square miles (9.5 million acres) across the western U.S., which would be 130% of the fiveyear average and 140% of the 10-year average, according to Samuhel. The record-breaking wildfire season in 2020 devoured upward of 6,718.75 square miles (4.3 million acres) in California alone, more than double the state’s previous record. Three of California’s four most destructive wildfire seasons on record have occurred in the past five years, the release said. This season will not only be an active one for wildfires, but a potentially long-lasting one as well, Samuhel wrote. A big reason for that is due to the extremely

dry spring season that many western states have endured, which can spell trouble, particularly in the beginning of the season. Samuhel specifically pointed to the areas of the Desert Southwest, especially Arizona and New Mexico, as spots where a notably warm spring could mean wildfire danger. “Those are places that really missed out on rainfall this past year and we’re expecting a hot spring there to continue,” he said in the press release. Fire season in typical years usually reaches peak activity from south to north and ramps up across the Pacific Northwest and interior Northwest in the second half of the summer. The northern half of California is usually hit first by fires in the middle of the summer, but the worst usually saves itself for the fall. “Of course, California can get fires any time of the year, but fire season usually starts in North-

VACAV ILLE — Former Fairfield police Chief Joseph Allio has been hired as the interim chief at the Vacaville Police Department. He starts his duties Monday, the city announced in a statement released Thursday. Those duties will include working with an outside consultant to audit the department’s internal culture, training, policies, procedures and community engagement. Allio replaces Acting Chief Ian Schmutzler, who took over when John

Schmutzler returns to his regular duties in allio the department. “I selected Chief Allio because of his experience in police audits and his reputation as an effective leader and great communicator. I am optimistic that Chief Allio and this audit will help the Vacaville Police Department identify areas for improve-

ment and reform, and ensure that our community is receiving the superior service it deserves,” City Manager Aaron Busch said in the city statement.

FAIRFIELD — Two preliminary permits were approved by the City Council late Tuesday to operate the first retail pot shops in the city. There were 14 applicants for the cannabis retail permits, each of which made presentations last week to the City Council. Dozens of public endorsements were heard during Tuesday’s public hearing, followed by 2-minute rebuttals by the company representatives. The public comments ranged from past associations with the applicants, proposed locations of the outlets, business practices, knowledge in the industry, community commitment, product prices, security, local ownership and the pros and cons related to union representation and other employee relations matters. Many of the speakers were employees of the various applicants. In the end, with a final decision coming at 11:40 p.m., the council awarded preliminary permits to Responsible and Compliant Retail (Embarc), with a proposed location at 180 Serrano Ave., Suite A; and to JJVI (Bright Spot), which has a proposed location at

1990 Walters Court. The meeting was adjourned at 12:02 a.m. Wednesday. The original vote was for approving permits for Responsible and Compliant Retail and JJVI, as well as Showcase, with a proposed site at 101 Grobric Court. It failed on a 3-3 vote. The next vote was limited to Responsible and Compliant Retail and JJVI and passed 6-0. “I’m happy that two of them got all of our votes, and I think they deserved them” Councilwoman Catherine Moy said about Responsible and Compliant Retail and JJVI. Moy and other council members noted their local ties and long histories in Fairfield. “As far as meeting the criteria we talked about, they definitely nailed that,” Vice Mayor Rick Vaccaro said. But Moy had serious concerns about Showcase based on issues that she said arose three years ago in San Francisco. Councilwoman Pam Bertani also was concerned about Showcase’s history, and Councilwoman Doriss Panduro wanted time to look into those matters as well.

Wildfire From Page A3 for California fires.” The trigger of last season’s most destructive disasters wasn’t directly manmade, like seasons prior had been, but rather from lightning strikes. Four of the six largest California wildfires of 2020 were ignited by lightning strikes, a threat that once again looms over the 2021 season. Samuhel said thousands of lightning strikes last August pelted California in a matter of days, igniting a slew of fires. Several of those fires merged into the Hennessey Fire, one of the fires in the larger LNU Lightning Complex Fire that raged into Solano County. The fire scorched 65.625 square miles (42,000 acres) in rural Solano County after it raced into the county from Napa County. Once a wildfire has ignited, untimely winds off the Pacific Coast can spell disaster. Samuhel pointed to the post-lightning winds in 2020 that spread the August fires as one of the main culprits for fueling fires

Chief From Page A3 munity because he is part of it. He’s the right person to tackle the challenges we face, and I look forward to working with him,” Rowlett said in the statement. “I realize the many challenges faced by our Police Department this past year has significantly strained public trust with the city,” Sullivan said in the statement. “Chief Allio brings an important outside perspective, and impressive experience working in police audits,

in Northern California, around San Francisco and in Oregon. “Wind is the fire’s number one friend. We saw that after lightning storms in August and September,” he said. “There was a huge wind event.” A similar wind outbreak could mean another record-breaking fire season for California. “If there’s going to be another wind event like that, then this will be, by far, a record year just given how much drier it is this year than it was at this time last year,” Samuhel said in the release. “Those wind events are more likely (to occur) real late in the summer and into the fall.” Some 345 square miles (220,823 acres) of wildfire destruction had occurred as of May 1, 2020, and 2020 wound up being the most destructive wildfire season in U.S. history. That number has more than doubled in 2021. From Jan. 1 to April 29, the preseason fire activity has already consumed more than 720 square miles (461,000 acres), according to the Insurance Information Institute. See the report at accuweather.com.

reform and improvement. I am confident he can lead the Vacaville Police Department in the right direction, and with the city’s larger plan to restore trust with our community.” Allio began his law enforcement career in 1984 at the South San Francisco Police Department. He worked at the Fairfield Police Department from 1987 to 2017, serving as chief from 2015 to 2017. He took a leave in 1996 to complete a pastoral internship. “I look forward to the opportunity to serve my hometown as interim police chief,” Allio said in the city statement.

Suisun City sees jump in arson, assaults Sees decrease in robbery, auto theft Amy Maginnis-Honey

amaginnis@dailyrepublic.net

SUISUN CITY — The Police Department saw an overall drop in serious crimes in 2020. City police handled 744 Part I crime calls last year, the department reports. The figure was 801 in 2019. Part I crimes as defined by the federal Uniform Crime Reporting Program include murder, negligent manslaughter, forceable rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny, motor vehicle theft and arson. Members of the City Council reviewed the report Tuesday. Robbery, larceny and auto theft calls were down year over year. Aggravated assault calls were up 40%. Arson calls were up 104%, which prompted City Councilman Mike Hudson to ask why. Police Chief Aaron Roth attributed the uptick to the fact the city has an arson investigation unit to look into such crimes. The city had one homicide in 2020: a person who was shot and killed Nov. 5 inside a home on the 1200 block of Gray Hawk Lane. The report noted dispatchers handled an average of seven calls each hour of the day last year, a 7% increase from 2019. The increase accounted for a 27% increase for items

The program is funded by Wells Fargo and administered by the Solano Small Business Development Center and the Workforce Development Board of Solano County. A GoFundMe and other fundraisers are planned to raise an additional $50,000 to match the seed money provided by Wells Fargo. “Supporting our hardest hit small local restaurants in keeping their doors open and retaining jobs, while also addressing the regional crisis of food inse-

curity, gives us great hope as we rebuild and recover together,” Erica Trejo, Wells Fargo senior vice president of Social Impact and Sustainability, said in the SBDC statement.

come up with conditions of approval, with a final decision by the council likely to be made in June. The council still has the option of adding up to two more permits. Mayor Harry Price recused himself from the discussion and final consideration because he owns property next to one of the proposed retail outlet sites, though he did not specify which site. The council originally hired a consultant to grade the applicants, which resulted in a pair of finalists. However, a

problem with the consultant calculations resulted in a full restart of the review process. The council opted not to use a formal ranking system, but among the standards the council considered were the applicants’ business plans, labor and enterprise plans, neighborhood capability, safety, security, location and community relations. The consultant’s rankings played no role in the final decision. The council also increased the number of permits to be approved

from two to as many as four. There were nearly 130 individuals who checked into the meeting, the vast majority to speak on the cannabis issue. Because of the interest, the time to speak was limited to 2 minutes. The council also was scheduled to issue a preliminary permit for a cannabis manufacturing company, but that item was put off for a later date due to time concerns with the meeting Tuesday. The applicant is 3Bros Fairfield, which also applied for a retail permit.

Mom’s Day tea WalletHub: Mixed results for event at Mare working moms in California Island Preserve is Sunday Daily Republic Staff

VALLEJO — Tea will be served from noon to 6 p.m. Sunday at the main entrance gate to the Mare Island Shoreline Heritage Preserve. Volunteers with the Mare Island Heritage Trust will play host to the 12th annual Mother’s Day Cream Tea event. “In past years we have hosted over 100 people, including moms and their families at the Rowser Garden about a half-mile up the hill with spectacular views,” event organizer and former preserve manager Myrna Hayes said in a statement. “Since a suspicious series of fires in September 2019, our land trust and volunteers have been locked out and can no longer reach the charming Rowser Garden location of the

first 10 teas. Last year, we held a Virtual Tea that I hosted . . . onboard the River Dolphin via Facebook Live.” “This year we are pressing on with a Covidsafe Mother’s Day Cream Tea back at the preserve, served in disposable containers, which ought to be totally different,” Hayes said in the statement. “But, it will be decorated with the whimsical linens and bouquets of fresh flowers that we are known for.” While the weather is expected to be nice, organizers advise visitors to dress in layers as the event location tends to be a bit cooler than surrounding areas. Dogs are allowed if leashed. For more information, call 249-9633 or visit the Mare Island Shoreline Heritage Preserve Facebook page.

County takes part in Bike BINGO Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

SUISUN CITY — The Solano Transportation Authority is partnering with Solano County’s cities to host a Bike BINGO event through its Solano Mobility Program. “Biking is a great way to improve your physical and mental health, and it’s beneficial for the environment,” Solano Transportation Authority board Chairman Ron Rowlett, the Vacaville mayor, said in a statement released by the agency. “The Bike BINGO event is a wonderful way to enjoy the beautiful spring weather and explore your community with the entire family.”

Nine bikeable checkpoints will be set up at community parks, transit centers and other locations in each city. Participants who visit at least one location will receive a “swag bag.” “If participants get a BINGO, they will be entered to win a $25 or $50 gift certificate to local businesses,” the Solano Transportation Authority announced. “Those who visit all nine locations and cross off the entire BINGO sheet will be entered for a $250 grand prize from local businesses.” To register for Bike BINGO, visit www. s o l a n o m o b i l i t y. o r g / bike-bingo or call 800-535-6883.

FAIRFIELD — A new study from WalletHub shows red states are more friendly to working moms. The study noted women make up nearly half of the U.S. workforce, and nearly 66% of moms with children under age 18 were working in 2020. Mothers were initially disproportionately affected by job losses compared to fathers during the novel coronavirus pandemic. While they have also regained jobs at faster rates, unemployment has not returned to prepandemic levels. Even during nonpandemic times, working moms still face an uphill battle in the workplace, as their average hourly wage is only 85% of what men make, and only 6% of S&P 500 companies’ chief executives are women, the report said.

VALLEJO — Kari Aguirre, an eighth-grader at St. Vincent Ferrer School in Vallejo, was one of five students in Northern California to be recognized for “their leadership, volunteerism and safety skills during the pandemic.” The recognition comes as part of the AAA School Safety Patrol program. “I didn’t think I could help other people because I didn’t feel confident

The lower the number, the better. The 25th spot is average in the survey. The state finished 30th in the ratio of female executive to male executives, 47th in child care costs, 48th in median women’s salary and 49th in female unemployment rate and

day care quality. WalletHub compared state dynamics across 17 metrics to identify the best and worst states for working moms. For the full report, visit https://wallethub.com/ edu/best-states-for-work ing-moms/3565.

Woman charged with starting 2018 wildfire Tribune Content Agency A woman has been charged with starting the 2018 Delta wildfire in Shasta County, California, which quickly tore through more than 63,000 acres and destroyed dozens of properties. Cynthia Ann Leroux, a 57-year-old resident of Mountain Gate in Shasta County, was arrested Wednesday and has been charged by the Shasta County district attorney’s office with 20 felony counts of arson and two specia l- ci rcu mst a nce allegations of arson with aggravating factors. The charges related to the Delta fire include two counts of arson that caused great bodily injury during a state of emergency and 16 counts of arson of a structure, property or forest land during a state of emergency.

The WalletHub study noted nearly 66% of moms with children under age 18 were working in 2020.

(Oakland) and Daisy Casey, Martin Elementary (San Francisco) were the other students recognized. Five patrol advisers also were recognized. Students receive a plaque in recognition of their work. Advisers receive $2,000 grants to support the program on their campuses. More than 40,000 students in nearly 1,500 schools across Califor nia par t icipate the program.

ing Wednesday, Shasta County Dist. Atty. Stephanie Bridgett said Leroux’s actions had left a truck driver hospitalized with burns and another truck driver with a head injury. Leroux also faces two counts of arson in connection with two much smaller fires she’s accused of starting in December 2018 and March 2020. She has not been arraigned, and it was unclear who was representing her. “With the drought that California is in and fire season that is upon us, this

announcement is a timely reminder of the consequences of setting fires,” Bridgett said. Leroux is accused of starting the Delta fire when the county was already in a state of emergency due to the July 2018 Carr fire, which killed eight people and burned almost 230,000 acres in Shasta and Trinity counties. The Delta fire began Sept. 5, 2018, north of Redding and was fueled by warm weather and strong winds. At the time, officials were also battling

the Hirz fire in the ShastaTrinity National Forest, which charred more than 46,000 acres. Authorities evacuated several small mountain communities. At one point, drivers on Interstate 5, which was closed for several days, were forced to abandon their vehicles to flee the blaze. Leroux was being held on $1-million bail Wednesday and faces a maximum sentence of more than 55 years in prison.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). When you’re talking to someone you’re trying to understand where they are coming from. You can picture their life outside the interaction with greater accuracy because of the excellent questions you ask. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You like to be the one giving, but if you don’t let others help you, you deprive them of something meaningful. Part of generosity is being a gracious receiver of what people contribute to you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You don’t have to be overly sensitive to every little internal distress signal or constantly let yourself off the hook. But do acknowledge when the hard work hurts. That acknowledgment is enough to avoid burnout. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The rules are in place for a reason, but it’s not always a good one.

Today’s birthday In a way, following your bliss is the most responsible thing you can do. For one thing, it pays. Lucky financial moves will be the result of a stellar perspective, which comes from delving deeply into your delights. You’ll work with your emotions to create circumstances that ultimately benefit many. Virgo and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 22, 18, 9 and 45.

willing to hurt for? VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). What you like will agree with you, make you look good, and inspire lots more of the good stuff. Who you love will love you back. What you do will matter. It’s an all-around fantastic day. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Projects have a beginning, middle and an end, though that is not the best order of approach. Begin with the end in mind. If you don’t have an end in mind yet, assist someone who does and you’ll learn a lot. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Be extremely careful which collective you align with. Groups can be incredibly destructive and stupid or, under

the right circumstances, highly intelligent and even brighter as an entity than the most intelligent person within the group. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Trying to connect with an emotionally distant person is like grasping the wind – futile. The wind touches you; you do not touch it. But if you position yourself well, you can use its power to do any number of things. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). An old joke: Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana. So make like a fruit fly and get into the sweetness of the day. It’s going to take a little work to get past the peel and a little humor to get past this horoscope. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Be like the honeybee. Send out scouts in every direction so that later you can concentrate all your efforts on only the direction where the flowers are open and inviting. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Even though you are affiliated with a group, you will act freely and independently, cooperating as it suits you and compromising when you deem it beneficial. The approach produces coordinated results everyone will be proud of.

How should South plan the play in either six spades or seven spades after West leads the diamond queen? South opens with a strong, artificial, forcing two clubs, North responds with a negative two diamonds, and South reveals his longest suit. Now North’s three-club rebid is a double (or second) negative, showing 0-3 points. Then, on the third round, with a maximum(!), three trumps and a ruffing value in hearts, North jumps to four spades.

Key will host ‘Saturday Night Live’: A ‘dream come true’ Tribune Content Agency DETROIT – KeeganMichael Key recently described how his path to comedy started with watching “Saturday Night Live” with his father while growing up in Detroit. Well, Key is about to have one of those fullcircle moments. The Emmy-winning star of movies and TV – a sketch comedy veteran of “Key & Peele” and “Mad TV” – will be hosting “SNL” for the first time. Key will host the May 15 episode, with “Drivers License” singer Olivia Rodrigo joining him as the musical guest. “Dreams do come true,” tweeted Key of the news. On his 2021 Audible podcast “The History

of Sketch Comedy,” he talked about how “SNL” changed his life. Key described how watching the NBC late-night show as a kid changed his life in 1983 when he heard his stoic dad laugh at a sketch featuring Eddie Murphy as a talent agent and the real Stevie Wonder as a Stevie Wonder impersonator. “Nobody in my house was ever the same again,” said Key, who calls the moment “the beginning of my sketch comedy path.” Key recent ly starred in two films for Netflix, “The Prom” and “Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Story.” He currently is working on the AppleTV+ series “Schmigadoon!,” which co-stars “SNL” regular Cecily Strong.

Govt. busy offloading 2 civic embarrassments

e human beings are tempted to shirk responsibility when our lapses of judgment result in negative consequences. Rather than owning up and handling those consequences, we often try to shift the onus or remediation costs to others. Politics is rife with examples of the syndrome, such as what happened when Southern California began to see portions of its film industry gravitate to other states and nations with lower production costs. Rather than adjusting operations to remain competitive, the industry successfully pressured state officials for subsidies from taxpayers. Currently, there are two other noteworthy examples of offloading civic Dan Walters embarrassments. The first hot mess is the Queen Mary, a 1930s-vintage ocean liner that the City of Long Beach, flush with money from its oil-producing tidelands, foolishly purchased 54 years ago. Local officials thought the ship would become a floating hotel, museum and the catalyst for repositioning Long Beach as a tourist destination, but it never happened. Over the years, multiple corporate lessees, including the Disney organization, failed to make the Queen Mary profitable. When Disney pulled out in 1992 after abandoning the notion of a “Port Disney” amusement park, Long Beach’s mayor at the time, Ernie Kell, called the ship a “tombstone in a cemetery no one wants to visit.” Meanwhile, the Queen Mary didn’t get the expensive maintenance such a huge machine requires. A consultant estimated in 2017 that the ship needed nearly $300 million in rehabilitation. The city responded with $23 million but how the money was spent is the subject of much fingerpointing. The last operator, an outfit called Eagle Hospitality Trust, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January. So what now? The Long Beach City Council has tentatively decided that rather than cutting its losses and selling the Queen Mary for scrap, it will shift ownership to the city-owned Port of Long Beach, the nation’s second-busiest container port. The move is drawing sharp opposition from the shipping lines that use the Long Beach port, fearing, with good cause, that funds needed to keep the port competitive will, instead, be dumped into the bottomless pit of keeping the Queen Mary afloat. The Queen Mary sits at the southern end of the Long Beach Freeway which on paper connects Long Beach to Pasadena, 32 miles to the north – but only on paper, because the last few miles on the northern end were never built, and that’s the other civic fiasco. State highway officials in the 1950s began purchasing rights-of-way, mostly houses in the small city of South Pasadena, to complete the freeway. However, local opposition stalled construction and eventually, after decades of political wrangling, the project was abandoned. That left the Department of Transportation as the landlord for mostly low-income residents of the houses it had purchased, many of them, like the Queen Mary, lacking maintenance. Politicking over the fate of those houses has raged ever since. The area’s state senator, Democrat Anthony Portantino, is now carrying legislation, Senate Bill 381, to give tenants first crack at purchasing the houses and sell the remainder to South Pasadena at the original acquisition prices for management and/or resale. The legislation solves Caltrans’ problem, but it’s questionable whether South Pasadena, which has only 25,000 residents and a small city budget, has the financial wherewithal to acquire and manage the 56 single-family homes and 10 multifamily apartment houses involved. In both the Queen Mary and South Pasadena situations, public agencies are washing their hands by offloading their embarrassing problems on other entities, but that’s not owning up and solving them.

It is discouraging that Kevin McCarthy is leading the effort in the House to strip Cheney of her leadership position as number three in the House. What has happened to McCarthy, I wonder, that he has gone from a strong Republican congressman to a Trump suck-up? Another one of Rep. Cheney’s “crimes” is that she actually blamed then-President Trump for the Jan. 6 riots at the Capitol that wound up with five dead, including a Capitol police officer. There is no question that Trump encouraged his loyalists to make their voices heard, and that they certainly did, to no effect, except for the dead. What surprises me is the vengeful attitude toward Liz Cheney from so many senior Republicans. Are they still in thrall to Donald Trump, insisting that he is the true leader of the GOP? With such a weak president in Joe Biden, who can’t even read his prepared speech notes without stumbling, it seems the Republicans are missing an opportunity to support the half-dozen Republicans, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who could beat Biden if he chooses to run again in 2024. Loyalty to Trump could sink the party just when the Republican numbers in Congress are looking better by the day.

disrespected abroad. We shouldn’t assume it can’t happen again. We live in an age of great power competition, one in which Russia and China are growing increasingly aggressive. Foreign policy cannot be put on hold in this environment. Yet when it comes to addressing these adversaries, Biden’s instinct seems to be to start with the minimalist, most passive position and work from there. So he scolds Russia, but immediately offers talks and demurs from sending U.S. ships into the Black Sea. In Afghanistan, he decides, against military advice, to pull out and hope for the best. What if these tentative policies don’t work any better than LBJ’s tentative approach in Vietnam? Not wanting to be seen as a weakling unable to stand up to an increasingly emboldened China, Russia, Iran and/ or North Korea, the president will be forced to do a smidge more “over there,” to flex the muscle a bit harder to keep the bad guys in line. The problem with this kind of creeping deterrence is that it cedes the initiative to the other side. They get to decide the pace of competition. They get to choose if they want to make Biden squirm by ratcheting the pressure up just a little more. Meanwhile, Biden races blindly ahead with domestic policies that are increasingly proving divisive. Domestic discord and political violence are getting worse, not better. Like Johnson, Biden is proving more skilled at driving Americans apart than bringing them together, making our homeland a more troubled and unwelcoming place.

It would prohibit anyone from possessing or returning more than two mail ballots in any election unless they’re from family members, a provision aimed at ending so-called ballot harvesting. “We think this will make it even better as we go forward, so we’re proud of the strides that we’ve made,” DeSantis said. “We’re not resting on our laurels, and me signing this bill here says, Florida your vote counts. Your vote is going to be cast with

County supervisors of elections, the locally elected officials who conduct voting throughout the state, opposed the bulk of the changes as mostly unnecessary and, in some cases, counterproductive. “It’s going to make it harder for people to vote,” said Broward Supervisor of Elections Joe Scott. Scott, who is Black, said it amounts to voter suppression, especially of people of color and older voters. Democrats, like Scott, and many independent election experts, see the changes as a politi-

the event, said the law was not voter suppression. He acknowledged that the 2020 election was “great” in Florida. Tami Donnally, vice chairwoman of the Palm Beach County Republican Party and a past candidate for the Florida Legislature, said the new law is critically needed. “I believe that there has been fraud in elections in the past – local elections, national elections – over the years, and I think we need to get a handle on it,” she said. “We need to have this election law to make sure every legal vote is counted.” Democratic elected officials and party leaders condemned the law – and what they said were the motivations for it.

“Governor DeSantis paid homage to Donald Trump by signing Florida’s new election law disguised as a response to false claims by Republicans that November’s election was rigged,” U.S. Rep. Lois Frankel, a West Palm Beach Democrat, said in a statement. Florida Senate Democratic Leader Lauren Book of Plantation said the law made Floridians “the latest victims of the GOP’s sham crusade to limit constitutionally protected voting rights on baseless claims of widespread voter fraud.” Scott said people who have more trouble voting – who may have tough work shifts or don’t have good transportation – could find it more difficult to cast

their ballots under the new Florida law. For example, Scott said the requirement that drop boxes at supervisors of elections offices have inperson monitors whenever they’re in operation will either force a big increase in cost to pay teams to watch the boxes 24 hours a day or curtailment of the service. Broward’s elections office drop boxes used to be monitored by video, and there were no problems, Scott said. And, Scott said, the restrictions that prevent someone from possessing and returning the mail ballots of more than two people could mean that someone helping a neighbor now unknowingly commits a felony.

From Page One an interview Wednesday that they have become frustrated with the lack of response from the county supervisors. They said they began their inquiries in March, have followed the direction of county staff on how to get the matter on an agenda, but have been met with what the pair liken to racial animus. They said only Supervisor Monica Brown has responded to any of their communications. Brown said in a Thursday phone interview that because she represents Benicia, she felt obligated to bring the issue forward for board discussion. She said she has had a conversation with County Administrator Birgitta Corsello and others, but had not reached out to Ferrara. Brown said the sheriff is an elected official and she has no authority over how he runs his department. Brown, at the April 27 meeting, did make a motion to have the matter placed on a future agenda, but it died without a second or any comment from the other supervisors. Supervisor Jim Spering said Thursday he resents

Study From Page One with a significantly lower risk of testing positive for an infection. Hospital employees make good study subjects because they were among the very first people to get access to Covid-19 vaccines. That means they have a longer track record to mine when it comes to assessing the performance of the shots. Another upside: Many hospitals routinely screen their workers for coronavirus infections. That makes it possible to identify people who seem perfectly healthy but harbor the SARS-CoV-2 virus in their system – and have the potential to spread it to others. Unlike in a clinical trial, the hospital workers in these two studies decided for themselves whether to get the Covid-19 vaccine or not. There was nothing random about it. That means that if coronavirus infection rates are different for vaccinated and unvaccinated workers, it might be due to factors other than the vaccine itself. Perhaps the people who made a point of getting the shots were also more likely to wear face masks, wash their hands thoroughly, or take other actions to avoid getting sick. Still, until better data are available, studies like these can provide some insight into whether Cov id-19 vaccines prevent infections as well as disease. The first report

the implication that he is a racist just because he will not take up the Black Lives Matter agenda. “I don’t agree with this. They have an agenda and I don’t agree with that agenda,” Spering said. He said he has to spoken to the sheriff, and said there would have to be “a lot more compelling” evidence before he would take formal action. “I trust the sheriff more than the people who are calling in,” Spering said. Supervisor Mitch Mashburn, who worked in the Sheriff’s Office for 32 years, declined to comment in his role as a supervisor and whether he would support the matter being placed on an agenda. But from a personal perspective, he said he has never experienced any behavior within the department that would raise red flags in terms of extremists. “That agency is doing a great job, It is one of the best sheriff’s agencies . . . in the state,” Mashburn said. Greene has filed a comcomes from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, where workers started getting the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine on Dec. 17. By March 20, 3,052 workers had received at least one dose, including 2,776 who got both doses. Another 2,165 workers who were eligible for the vaccine declined to take it. Over the three months, 51 people tested positive for a coronavirus infection after receiving their first dose of vaccine, and 29 of them never developed any Covid-19 symptoms. Meanwhile, 185 of the unvaccinated people became infected, and 79 of them were asymptomatic. After crunching all the numbers, biostatistician Li Tang and her St. Jude colleagues determined that people who’d had at least one dose of vaccine were 79% less likely than their unvaccinated coworkers to become infected with the coronavirus. They were also 72% less likely to develop an infection that was asymptomatic. This apparent protection was more powerful in people who got both doses of the vaccine and had time for that second dose to kick in. Hospital workers who were at least seven days out from their second shot were 90% less likely than their unvaccinated counterparts to become infected, and when they did, their infections did not produce symptoms. The second study took place at Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center in Israel, where workers started getting the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine on Dec. 20.

plaint with the Solano County civil grand jury. “Fundamentally, we would not be having this discussion if these (deputies) were black people with ties to (Black Lives Matter),” Greene said. He said there would also be a stronger reaction if the deputies were Muslims who showed images in support of Muslim causes, even if they were not personally active in any insurgencies or other activities as some “3 Percenters” have been. Grantham said the lack of response raises other issues of concern. She noted there are legitimate reasons why people of color do not trust law enforcement, with Greene pointing to a national news report that states as many as a third of the Capitol rioters were current or past law enforcement or military personnel. “Even if there isn’t an inference to a domestic terrorist group, why would I want a sheriff (deputy) or a police officer coming to my house,” she said. “We can’t have this dis-

mashburn cussion outside the historic context,” Greene said. As for claims that the social media images are nothing more than individual support for the 2nd Amendment and the U.S. Constitution, Greene said that is nothing but political cover. He said the gun rights argument allows members of white extremist groups to march while displaying dangerous weapons without law enforcement response. In the meantime, people of color are being killed by law enforcement. Greene said the lack of response by the Board of Supervisors is a silent acceptance of that extremism, and tacit permission because members of such groups know there will be “no public ramification.” “It is disheartening to see this bias,” he said. He added, “A lot of the ways the Board of Supervisors has responded to us, interacted with us is influenced by anti-blackness . . . and we are not a citizenry that they have to engage with.”

Medical student Liesl Eibschutz loads a syringe with a dose of Covid-19 vaccine made by Pfizer and BioNTech. New research bolsters the case that the vaccine reduces the risk of a coronavirus infection. By Feb. 25, 5,953 of them had received at least one dose, and all but 436 of them had gotten both doses. Another 757 workers remained unvaccinated. Altogether, these workers were tested for coronavirus infections 16,224 times, and 243 of those tests came back positive. In 149 of those cases, the infection led to Covid-19 symptoms – 64 of them in people who had been vaccinated and 85 in the much smaller group of those who hadn’t. Researchers led by Dr. Yoel Angel calculated that people who were fully vaccinated were 97% less likely than their unvaccinated peers to develop an infection with symptoms. Even among those who were only partially vaccinated, the risk of a symptomatic infection was 89% lower. Another 63 people who’d had at least one dose of vaccine were found to have asymptomatic coronavirus infections,

as were 31 workers who skipped the vaccine. The researchers calculated that people who were fully vaccinated were 86% less likely than their unvaccinated counterparts to develop an asymptomatic infection. Even those who had only one dose of vaccine saw their risk fall by 36%. The findings about asymptomatic infections are particularly important because people who have SARS-CoV-2 and don’t know it are thought to make up somewhere between 40% and 45% of coronavirus cases – and they could be spreading the virus to others without even realizing it, Angel and his colleagues wrote. In other words, the study results suggest that Covid-19 vaccines have the potential to greatly reduce the threat posed by silent spreaders. Both studies were published Thursday in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Biden administration looks to triple amount of protected land in the US

Sheriff identifies soldier accused of hijacking school bus

Tribune Content Agency

Faced with the possible extinction of tens of thousands of species and the growing threat of climate change, the Biden administration on Thursday announced plans to protect 30% of the nation’s land and ocean territory by the end of the decade. The administration’s proposal comes as California and several other states are already moving ahead with their own plans to protect 30% of their land and coastal waters. Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order last year directing state agencies to develop a proposal for achieving this goal. The federal plan lays out an ambitious target. Just over a tenth of the nation’s land and a quarter of the waters within our offshore territory are under some form of protection. And while the initiative is likely to please environmentalists and progressive Democrats, it could encounter pushback from Republicans and moderate Democrats in Congress, as well as oil and gas companies, logging interests and mine owners that depend on access to federal land. The proposal leans into the president’s message that fighting climate change will create jobs, making the pitch that nature is crucial to ensuring Americans’ health and financial well-being. It describes an expansive vision of conservation, making clear that the administration views cattle ranching, logging, fishing and farming as compatible with its goals. The proposal, a col-

COLUMBIA, S.C. — The Richland County Sheriff’s Department has identified the Fort Jackson soldier accused of hijacking a school bus Thursday. Sheriff Leon Lott said 23-year-old Jovan Collazo of New Jersey will be charged with 19 counts of kidnapping, armed robbery, carjacking, pointing and presenting a firearm, and other offenses. Collazo ran away from his unit on the army installation in the morning and began trying to get rides from cars on Interstate 77, authorities said. He walked to Percival Road, where he boarded the bus with 18 children going to Forest Lake Elementary, Lott said at a news conference. Armed with a rifle, the recruit told the bus driver to drive him to the next town, Lott said, but then made the driver and the kids get off the bus. He then drove the bus himself a few miles up the road. Deputies arrested the soldier near the intersection of Alpine and Percival roads. The students and the driver were not physically injured. Collazo is jailed at Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center awaiting a bond hearing. Fort Jackson is the nation’s largest military basic training base with more than 50,000 recruits assigned there each year, A Fort Jackson spokesperson said Collazo was an Army “trainee.” “This was a failure in our accountability procedures that we truly

Yet many details remain vague. Though the federal government has broad authority to expand environmental protections on public land, the plan doesn’t include commitments to name new wilderness areas or national wildlife refuges. It pledges to protect lands nationwide – not only in the West, where most federal land is located. But it’s unclear how the administration would approach conservation in states or counties where elected officials and private landowners don’t want limits placed on human activity.

Across California and the country, those who rely on a healthy planet for their livelihoods – business owners who work in small-scale fisheries, regenerative agriculture and coastal tourism – have been pushing to be included in this growing debate over what should count as conservation. A new coalition, dubbed Businesses for Conservation & Climate Action, has come together as federal discussions about protecting 30% of U.S. land and ocean waters by 2030 – known as “30 by 30” – move beyond a catchy slogan and into the mechanics of how to implement such a policy. Some small business owners said they were encouraged by the administration’s report, which for the first time made fisheries and various business groups feel included in the process. “This report shows that the Biden administration has listened to us. Now we must chart a course towards national

conservation policies that recognize sustainable small businesses as compatible with healthy lands and oceans,” said Linda Behnken, executive director of the Alaska Longline Fishermen’s Assn. “There is still much work to do to build trust around 30x30,” she added. California’s conservation plan is expected to be made public in February 2022. Just over 23% of land in California is protected, according to the latest estimates by the U.S. Geological Survey. Another 27% is subject to environmental regulations, but some areas are open for oil drilling, mining and logging. Most of this land is managed by federal agencies, said Pamela Flick, program California director for Defenders of Wildlife, a conservation organization, making it “really nearly impossible to take the state to 30% without federal action.”

regret and are apologetic to our community,” the base spokesperson said in a statement. “We are thankful for the fast actions of RCSD and the local community to assist in the apprehension of the individual.” Lott praised the children and the bus driver’s training, which allowed him to remain calm and deal with the situation. Lott called the bus driver a “hero.” “They are upset. They were scared to death,” Lott said of the children. “It was six minutes. Six minutes they were traumatized. Six complete minutes the bad guy was on the bus with a gun. But they were not hysterical. They did what they were trained to do. And I think that all contributed to them having a successful result in what happened this morning.” While Callazo was allegedly hijacking the bus, the children kept asking questions of him. “The kids were asking questions. ‘Are you a soldier?’ ‘Are you going to hurt us?’ ‘Are you going to hurt the bus driver?’ They were being kids and they were asking lots of questions,” Lott said. Richland 2 School District thanked police in a statement. “Once we were certain all students were accounted for and physically safe, we immediately began deploying social and emotional counseling resources to the school so that our students could begin the process of healing as they are dealing with a traumatic event,” Superintendent Baron Davis said in the statement.

US sends warning to Russia, assuring Ukraine of support Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — Sending a tough diplomatic warning to Russia – backed by a show of military force – the Biden administration on Thursday vowed to stand by Ukraine and its beleaguered government in its struggle with “destabilizing actions” from Moscow. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, on a swing through the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, said the administration was considering more defense aid for the former Soviet republic as threats from Russia persisted. “We look to Russia to cease reckless and aggressive actions,” Blinken said during a joint press appearance

with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. Ukraine is often seen as being on the front lines against Russian aggression, with the defense of its sovereignty a key test for the U.S. and western Europe. Russia last month deployed an estimated 100,000 troops along its border with Ukraine and in Crimea, the Ukrainian peninsula that Moscow invaded and annexed in 2014. President Vladimir Putin then announced a withdrawal, but both Blinken and Zelenskiy said Thursday that “significant” numbers of Russian troops and weaponry remain amassed in the area. “Russia has the capacity on fairly short notice to take aggressive action if it so chooses,”

Blinken said. The Pentagon estimates there are still 70,000 to 80,000 Russian troops near the border, the most Moscow has put there since the Crimean annexation, according to a senior U.S. official familiar with intelligence estimates. More than 14,000 people have been killed in fighting with Russian-backed separatists. Blinken arrived in Kyiv during massive NATO military exercises throughout Eastern Europe involving 28,000 troops from the U.S. and other countries. It includes maneuvers and live fire training in multiple countries, including airborne operations in Romania and Bulgaria. Together, the actions on the diplomatic and military fronts were intended

to send an explicit message to Putin that the new U.S. government would punish alleged behavior that has included devastating cyberattacks and election interference in the U.S.; the poisoning of political dissidents; and military aggression in neighboring countries. The positioning of the NATO forces for the drills is meant to signal to Moscow that the Pentagon could move swiftly to insert forces near the Black Sea if a crisis occurred. A long list of economic sanctions against Russian officials and businesses has failed to deter Putin. Blinken made a point of noting that his trip to Kyiv was one of only a small handful of in-person meetings he has had with foreign leaders, choosing

Ukraine and Zelenskiy before Russia. Ukraine played a starring role in U.S. election intrigue when in 2019 thenPresident Donald Trump telephoned Zelenskiy and threatened to withhold military aid unless he helped dig up dirt on Trump’s political rivals – and especially Joe Biden, whose son Hunter had a controversial, high-paying consultancy job with Ukraine’s state energy company. The incident triggered Trump’s first impeachment trial, which saw a number of U.S. diplomats go before Congress to testify about the Trump administration’s bizarre, ad hoc foreign policy, led by the former president’s personal attorney Rudolph Giuliani.

Zelenskiy, a comedianturned-politician who once played a hapless president on a popular sitcom, found himself in the truly hapless position of wondering why this was happening to him. In the end, a Republicandominated Senate acquitted Trump, but the damage done to the reputation of American diplomacy was, in the opinion of many, irreparable. Relations with Kyiv were in tatters, another of the repair jobs that Blinken is confronting now. On Thursday, after meeting with Blinken, Zelenskiy said he had invited President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to visit Ukraine this year, its 30th anniversary of independence. Blinken said Biden would visit when the “time was right.”

Warriors quiet Thunder behind Curry’s 34 Tribune Content Agency SAN FRANCISCO — With the regular season winding down and an advantageous spot in the play-in tournament at stake, the Golden State Warriors must take care of business against the sub.500 teams left on their schedule. On Thursday night, they did, defeating the rebuilding Oklahoma City Thunder 118-97 at Chase Center in the first of a six-game homestand to close out the season. Thursday’s win was a good way to get things started. Stephen Curry scored 34 points, Andrew

Wiggins added 18 and Mychal Mulder’s 25 points (including seven made 3-pointers) off the bench kept Oklahoma City at a comfortable distance in the fourth quarter. As a team, Golden State moved the ball well (36 assists on 42 made baskets), rebounded (49 to 39) and kept turnovers low (13). Unlike in those aforementioned bad losses, the Warriors did not stagger in response to the Thunder’s best punch. After Oklahoma City cut the lead to six in the third quarter, Curry scored eight straight points to push the lead back to 12. Curry’s

layup extended the lead to 16 headed into the fourth, and his supporting cast ran it up to as many as 25. No, now is not the time to dole out praise. The Warriors (34-33) should have beaten the Thunder (21-45) and should beat them again Saturday. But this is a team that has plenty of disappointing losses on the ledger: last week in Minnesota, a pair of losses to the Wizards and some duds against the Orlando Magic and Sacramento Kings, to name a few. Those handful of losses are why this team has hovered around .500 for most of the

season and are in this predicament during this playoff push. With six games left and the Memphis Grizzlies breathing down their neck, the Warriors will likely have to win four of their next five before a season finale against the Grizzlies in order to maintain a spot in the seven-eight game of the play-in tournament. The motivation to stay in the top eight is clear: Two opportunities to win one game and advance to the playoffs. The play-in tournament consists of games between the Nos. 7 and 8 teams, and the Nos. 9 and 10 teams. The winner

of the 7-8 game advances to the playoffs as the No. 7 seed, while the loser plays the winner of the 9-10 game to determine the final playoff spot in each conference. Winning these two games against the Thunder is necessary because the rest of the slate doesn’t offer a respite. The final four games are against Utah, Phoenix and New Orleans before Memphis – teams either at the top of the conference standings or in the playoff hunt.

In being named Mountain West Conference Player of the Week, Vacaville High grad Tyler Bosetti batted .571

with four home runs, helping the University of Nevada baseball team sweep a three-game series from UNLV.

Paul Farmer

Nevada opened with a 14-4 victory in which Bosetti went 3-for-6 with a home run, triple, four runs and one RBI. The Wolf Pack then rolled to a 13-2 win with Bosetti going 2-for-3 with a home run, two runs, three RBIs and a walk. The series finale, which Nevada won 15-7, was close until a five-run bottom of the seventh inning was capped by a Bosetti three-run homer, his second blast of the game, during which he went 3-for-5 with three runs and four RBIs. Homering in each game of the series gave Bosetti a round-tripper in four straight games.

Homer-happy Bosetti earns nod as MWC Player of the Week PFARMER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

Vacaville High grad Tyler Bosetti batted .571 with four home runs, eight runs and nine RBIs for the week, helping the University of Nevada baseball team sweep a three-game series from UNLV. And while Bosetti was dominating in the diamond, Rodriguez High graduate Makayla Caballero hit a key two-run double for Jackson State in a 3-1 win over Grambling State last week and has helped the Lady Tigers finish first in the SWAC East Division. Perhaps in Little

League, hitters do what Bosetti did for the University of Nevada baseball. The Vacaville High graduate – in helping the Wolf Pack (15-16, 12-9) sweep a three-game series from San Diego State by an average margin of victory of 9.7 runs – amassed a month’s worth of stats, batting .571 (8-for-14) with four home runs, a triple, eight runs, nine RBIs and a stratospheric 1.571 slugging percentage. It should come as no surprise that Bosetti, a red-shirt junior infielder, was named the Mountain West Conference’s Player of the Week as well as Nevada’s Student-Athlete of the Week.

Also in the Mountain West Conference, Air Force (17-18, 9-12) dropped two of three to UNLV with Brayden Altorfer (Vacaville) going 2-for-12 with a double, walk, hit-by-pitch and three RBIs. Saint Mary’s (20-20, 9-12 WCC) was swept in a three-game series by BYU with Justin Banks going 2-for-10 with a double, two walks, a run and an RBI. Wellington Balsley (Solano) went to the plate once in every game, going 0-for-4 with a hitby-pitch as Coppin State (10-25, 7-16 MEAC) won four of five. See Alumni, Page B3

Marcus Semien thrives as A’s drop series finale to Blue Jays, 10-4 Tribune Content Agency Marcus Semien received a long ovation before his first at-bat back at the Coliseum on Monday. Catcher Sean Murphy stood an extra few moments as fans recognized Semien – the Bay Area native now with the Blue Jays – for his six seasons with the A’s. More cheering greeted Semien as he reached home plate in the seventh inning Thursday. It followed damage done against his former team. Semien saved the best game of his return to Oakland for the finale. He tied his career high of four hits and sparked two big rallies as Toronto handed the A’s a 10-4 loss to split a four-game series. Perhaps the sweetest moment came in

the seventh. Facing left-hander Reymin Guduan, Semien turned on a 96-mph fastball, lining a home run to left field. “Everybody wants to finish with a bang,” Semien said on his postgame video call. “Four-hit game, home run and a win, doesn’t get much better than that. It was nice to hear some cheering as a road player. You don’t hear that every day. So I appreciate all the fans for that.” Semien was 7-for-17 in the series with hits in all four games. On Thursday, he ignited a three-run third inning against Mike Fiers and fourrun sixth against the A’s bullpen. The latter turned a close game into a blowout. Oakland trailed 5-4 when Semien hit a one-out single off of Deolis Guerra, whose throwing error on a potential double-play ball

later loaded the bases. Against Sergio Romo, Teoscar Hernández hit a two-run single and Randal Grichuk a two-run double. “He’s a good hitter,” A’s manager Bob Melvin said of Semien, “like a lot of guys in their lineup. . . . One through seven, they pound the ball pretty good. So you’d better be locating pretty well and making some pitches. For the first few games, we were pretty good at that up until the end of yesterday’s game, and today they broke loose on us.” Toronto mounted a five-run eighth inning Wednesday night, all charged to Lou Trivino, one of Melvin’s top three leverage relievers. Melvin has used Trivino, Jake Diekman and Yusmeiro Petit in games the A’s lead. Melvin turned See A’s, Page B2

Armijo falls to WCW, comes up short in delayed debut VACAVILLE — After having the start of its season delayed because of Covid-19 quarantine protocols, the Armijo High boys basketball team came up just short in its 2021 debut with a 47-46 loss at Will C. Wood, Tuesday. Michael Reese had a late shot come up just short on a jump hook

that would’ve given Armijo the lead. The Wildcats led 11-10 after the first quarter, only to see the Royals take a 24-19 lead at halftime. Wood responded with a 16-10 edge in the third quarter to take a 35-34 advantage into the fourth. “This was a tough loss for us coming off of a twoweek quarantine break, then having to play a road league game right away,” Royals coach Christian Stoll said. “It was a back and forth game all night,” added Wood coach Mark Wudel. “We took the final lead with one minute left and held them scoreless the rest of the way.” Wood’s Nem Drca led all scorers with 19 points, with Jacob Condez adding eight and Ken Tilford seven. Jakobe Billups paced Armijo with 11 points, followed by Reese, Jalen Moore and K’Maurier Jenkins with nine each.

Vanden won the JV game 74-35 behind 24 points from Jayden Robinson and 12 from Noah Bishop. The Vikings also played on Wednesday, dropping an 84-74 decision at Folsom despite getting 36 points, one of the top scoring efforts in school history, from Miller. I’saac Montgomery was next with 12, followed by EmersonHardy with nine and Isaiah Moore with eight. The Vikings JV team also fell, losing 64-48 to the Bulldogs.

Torres, Eisan combine for goal in 1-0 Vanden win

Vanden 4, Fairfield 1: At

A’s: Lose From Page B1 to others Thursday to try to keep a deficit close. Guerra had not allowed a run in seven of eight outings. Romo had strung together five scoreless appearances. Romo was charged with one run Thursday but allowed three inherited runners to score. First batters plagued Romo in early outings this season. He had stemmed the issue recently. Hernández lined Romo’s first pitch, a slider, to left-center. Grichuk doubled on the second pitch of his at-bat and took third on a wild relay by second baseman Tony Kemp. Romo slid to prevent it from going into the A’s dugout and came up limping. Melvin said Romo has “a little bruise in front of his hip, but I think he’ll be all right.” “Sergio had a couple of pitches in the middle of the plate, which we haven’t seen here recently,” Melvin said. “But when you don’t have your plus guys in the game, sometimes you give up some runs. And in this situation, you don’t want to walk guys. You have to throw it over the plate and you have to throw it over the plate to a goodhitting team.”

Fairfield’s Schaefer Stadium, Giselle Torres scored two goals, while Denise Hernandez and Tiara Smith each netted one to lead the Vikings past the Falcons, Tuesday. Bella Pichardo and Jordyn Peter added assists for the Vikings. Vacaville 4, Rodriguez 1: At Vacaville’s Zunino Stadium, Gracie Holbein found the net twice, while Lauren Gammon and Makayla Oliver each had a goal and an assist to power the Bulldogs past the Mustangs, Tuesday. Sana Purcell also had an assist

for Vacaville, while Bailey Erbland turned away two shots on goal to record the shutout.

7 best movie moms are loving, sometimes flawed characters

Crossword

Chris Hewitt Star Tribune

hat’s the best kind of movie mom? Good or evil, I like one we sense exists outside the margins of the movie. That’s true of any character. They’re most interesting when they’re so complicated that the movie can’t capture all of their dimensions, and we get only tantalizing glimpses. I’m thinking of Margaret Marmee March in “Little Women,” who raises extraordinary daughters without much help from their father but who’s also an activist with unrealized dreams. “I am angry nearly every day of my life, Jo, but I have learned not to show it, and I still hope to learn not to feel it,” says Marmee in Louisa May Alcott’s book and Greta Gerwig’s movie. It’s fascinating to wonder what makes Marmee angry. It can be even more interesting to see the emotion depicted on screen by mothers who don’t feel obligated to bottle it up – whether that’s Barbara Harris/ Jamie Lee Curtis admitting jealousy of their daughter in the versions of “Freaky Friday” or Mia Farrow risking it all to care for her child in “Rosemary’s Baby.” Many movie mothers are intended to be cautionary tales. Joan Crawford’s title character in “Mildred Pierce” thinks the key to motherhood is to sacrifice everything (as does, to a certain extent, the version of Crawford that Faye Dunaway plays in “Mommie Dearest”). Angela Lansbury’s mom in “The Manchurian Candidate” takes a similar route, with similarly bad results. Whether she’s branded a martyr (as Crawford is) or a supervillain (as Lansbury is), we are left wondering: Would her life have gone differently if she’d realized her own dreams instead of funneling them into a rotten kid? Some movies don’t know what to do with mothers. Classic Disney fare, often inspired by fairy tales, tends to ignore them (“The Little Mermaid”), bump them off (“Bambi”) or demonize them (“Cinderella” is the one that convinced us “stepmother” means “wicked”). That lack of respect may be why actors have sometimes been reluctant to play mother roles, which are too often one-dimensional. Beulah Bondi, for instance, is remembered for playing a mom in “It’s a Wonderful Life” and other films and but we know virtually nothing about her characters other than that they’d given birth. Even the great Angela Bassett – in “Akeelah and the Bee,” she’s a sketchy cliché, a roadblock to her daughter’s happiness. But that’s less likely to be

Saoirse Ronan, left, and Laurie Metcalf in a scene from “Lady Bird.” the case in recent years, now that women are more involved in the creation of movies and are showing that there are as many ways to depict a mom as there are moms. Those women are as varied and vivid as real moms. So are these compelling, if not always perfect, mothers.

‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ (1946) Jimmy Stewart gets the props in the happy ending to this mostly dark holiday classic but he’s not alone in front of that Christmas tree. Who manifests the events of George Bailey’s life with a whispered childhood wish? Who helps him realize true love? Creates a home for him (literally)? Saves his business? Keeps him out of jail by raising thousands of dollars in a matter of minutes? Mary Bailey (Donna Reed), who also raises his four kids while he’s off deciding whether he wants his wonderful life. (Bonus mom: Bondi as Ma Bailey, who really does know best.)

‘Terms of Endearment’ (1983) Shirley MacLaine is a riotous mom in “Postcards From the Edge” but her Oscar was for the forthright Aurora, who sees her daughter as her masterpiece. She’s such a life force that the fears Aurora imprints on baby Emma become her destiny when she’s an adult, played by Debra Winger. “Terms” doesn’t ask Aurora to be perfect but it does insist on her devotion. In a hospital scene when, frustrated by what she perceives as nurses’ inattentiveness to her daughter’s needs, she discards the calm she usually presents to the world.

‘Carrie’ (1976) In an homage to another scary movie mother, “Psycho,” teenage Carrie (Sissy Spacek) attends Bates High School. She’s bullied there but things are worse at home, where her zealot mother (Piper Laurie) terrorizes her. Laurie is

brilliant in Brian De Palma’s thriller because it’s clear this unstable mom believes she’s doing her job – protecting her daughter.

‘The Joy Luck Club’ (1993) “You don’t know the power you have over me,” says one of four women to her mother, sobbing, in this adaptation of Amy Tan’s novel about mothers and daughters who are struggling to understand one another. The relationships are complex and it gets more than a little lesson-y but I love how Wayne Wang’s film insists that the characters are products of expectations and hopes that date back not just decades but centuries.

‘The Manchurian Candidate’ (1962) The original trailer doesn’t even mention Angela Lansbury, but her character, a manipulative power broker who fights for her son to achieve goals she knows are out of her own reach, is key to the iconic thriller. Lansbury’s character is a lousy mother but her determination and naked ambition make her a remarkable one.

‘Lady Bird’ (2017) You may question Marion’s methods but you can’t argue with the results achieved by the title character’s truth-telling mom (played by Oscar-nominee Laurie Metcalf). She raised a smart, creative, funny and compassionate kid — even if that kid did reject the name she gave her (Christine).

‘The Incredibles’ (2004) Pixar helps atone for Disney’s legacy of absent/ ignored/murdered mothers with Helen Parr (Holly Hunter, also a noteworthy mom in “The Piano”). The superhero fantasy boasts one of animation’s most realistic moms. Helen has had to figure out how to do it all for her family (as represented by her superpower, an elasticity that lets her bend in every direction) and save the world at the same time.

TAKE THE BIRD IN THE HAND When you can defeat a contract, should you just cash your tricks? Or, if you see a possibility for down two, should you hold back and play for the extra undertrick? The simple answer is to play for the extra undertrick when there is no chance of the contract’s making when

Sudoku

by Phillip Alder you don’t cash out. True, sometimes it won’t be clear whether or not your apparently sure winner might disappear. If you are in any doubt, settle for down one. Like in the stock market, a small profit is better than a loss. To test yourself on today’s deal, fold your newspaper to hide the South and West hands. Against six spades, your partner leads the heart ace. How many tricks do you see for your side? How do you envisage the defense proceeding? South’s bidding actions were unusual. Once a player has preempted, he is supposed to leave any further move to his partner. When he did the unusual, rebidding six spades, it suggested that he had a strange hand – or he thought West bid six hearts so confidently that that slam would succeed. From the bidding, South surely has eight spades, so there is no point in trying to give partner a diamond ruff. And if West is void in trumps, those diamond winners in the dummy may soon provide declarer with four discards. There is one sure way to defeat the slam: Ruff the heart lead with the spade ace and cash the club ace! Now unfold your paper. As you can see from the full diagram, any other defense lets six spades doubled make. COPYRIGHT: 2021, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

Will California’s grid hold up this summer?

Energy officials guardedly optimistic

Classifieds: 427-6936

US jobless claims fall

Tribune Content Agency

It’s a summer rerun nobody in California wants to see: A repeat of the last August’s two straight days of rolling blackouts. And while hot weather may exacerbate a strained electric grid in the coming months, officials with the California Public Utilities Commission, the California Energy Commission and the California Independent System Operator are guardedly optimistic there will be no power interruptions this time around. For one thing, the system operator that manages the electric grid for about 80% of the state and the utilities commission estimate there will be 3,000 to 4,000 megawatts of additional power at the ready this summer, compared to 2020. That’s for a system that approaches 50,000 megawatts of capacity at its peak. In addition, the three agencies said at a virtual workshop Tuesday they have been working with each other – as well as with water and power authorities in and out of state government – to squeeze out every megawatt that will be needed in the coming months. “In this era of climate change and severe weather and uncertainty, no one can predict 100%,” said Marybel Batjer, president of the utilities commission, known as the CPUC for short. “But I feel that what we have undertaken since last August and September, the different reforms we have made, the modifications to existing programs that we have made, I think we have picked up the corner of the tent and examined everything very carefully . . . and made some changes that I think have taken us a long way to a measure of certainty.” On Aug. 14 and 15, a severe heat wave led to a surge in electricity demand as Californians cranked up their air conditioners. The system operator, known as the CAISO, declared a Stage

Applications for U.S. state unemployment insurance fell last week to a fresh pandemic low as labor market conditions continued to improve and the economy reopened more broadly. Initial claims in regular state programs fell by 92,000 to 498,000 in the week ended May 1, Labor Department data showed Thursday. The median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of economists called for 538,000 claims. The prior week’s figure was revised up to 590,000. The job market is strengthening as employers look to fill positions left empty by the pandemic. Friday’s employment report is expected to show that the U.S. added about 1 million jobs in April, a sign that fewer business restrictions are bringing more Americans back to work. Claims fell broadly across the U.S., with the biggest drops in Virginia and New York. Continuing claims for ongoing state benefits rose slightly in the week ended April 24. Applications for Pandemic Unemployment Assistance for selfemployed and gig workers also decreased. Separate data Thursday showed productivity rebounded in the first quarter as the pace of output exceeded a pickup in hours worked. Nonfarm business labor productivity increased at a 5.4% annualized rate in the first quarter, the second fastest pace since 2009, after a revised 3.8% decline in the prior quarter.

California energy and grid officials have taken measures to avoid a repeat of the pair of rolling blackouts that affected the state in August 2020. 3 Emergency both days because it could not maintain the required 6% minimum in contingency reserves. The outages lasted as long as 2 1⁄2 hours in some parts of the state on Aug. 14 and 90 minutes on Aug. 15. It marked the first time since the California energy crisis of 2000 and 2001 that the Golden State had experienced statewide blackouts. If not for emergency measures that brought in extra energy sources and everyday consumers reducing their electricity demand, there would have been more blackouts Aug. 17, 18 and 19. Another heatwave over the Labor Day weekend nearly led to other rounds of outages. Normally, California grid operators can obtain needed power from neighboring states but the heat wave in August extended across the West, and

energy that otherwise might be imported to California stayed in places like Arizona and the Pacific Northwest. That’s still a concern. “Overall, capacity conditions are better this year than 2020,” said CAISO senior manager Robert Emmert, “but the grid remains vulnerable to high loads and available imports during widespread heat events, especially with significantly low hydro conditions this year.” A lack of rain has depleted many of the hydroelectric dams across the state. On other hand, Emmert said the system this summer will have 10 times more battery energy storage available than last year. Among other directives, the CPUC ordered the state’s three big utilities to procure at least an additional 2.5% of resources, thus increasing the planning reserve

margin from 15% to 17.5 percent. There have also been efforts to reduce electricity consumption through “demand-response” initiatives, such as a pilot program that would compensate customers for voluntarily reducing energy use in the event of a grid emergency. “It’s not really a single agency and it’s not a single solution,” said David Hochschild, chair of the Energy Commission. “It’s silver buckshot, not a silver bullet.” Shortly after the outages, the CAISO discovered a computer glitch inside its day-ahead market trading system led to several thousand megawatts of power in California actually getting exported to other states – at the same time the Golden State needed them. The glitch was quickly See Grid, Page B11

Hit by higher prices for gear, doctors and dentists want insurers to pay Rachel Bluth

Kaiser Health News

Treating patients has become more expensive during the pandemic, and doctors and dentists don’t want to be on the hook for all the new costs. For instance, the box of 100 gloves that cost $2.39 in February 2020 costs $30 now, said Dr. Judee Tippett-Whyte, president of the California Dental Association, who has a private dental practice in Stockton. Her practice used to rely on surgical masks that cost 20 cents each but has upgraded to N95 masks at $2.50 a pop. On top of that, her office is scheduling two or three fewer patients each day to accommodate physical distancing and give staff members time to disinfect between patients, she said. “We’ve sustained a lot of financial costs,” TippettWhyte said. “We shouldn’t have to bear the cost of this for ourselves.” Her argument raises a fundamental Covid-19 question: Who should pay for pandemic expenses? Should it be healthcare providers contending with new pandemic-era protocols or insurance companies, which may pass on their additional costs to customers in the form of higher premiums? California’s dentist and doctor lobbies say insurance companies are flush with cash after collecting premiums during the pandemic but paying fewer claims than usual – and should foot the bill. The California Medical Association, which represents doctors, has sponsored legislation that would require insurers to reimburse medical and dental practices for pandemic-related expenses such as personal protective equipment, disinfectant and the staff time required to screen patients for symptoms before an appointment. A request by doctors to bill Medicaid and Medicare for supplies and other pandemic-related costs recently failed at the federal level. But in Washington state, a new law sponsored by the state doctors’ lobby requires private health insurers to reimburse a portion of those costs. I nsurance t rade groups have opposed both state measures. Reimbursing the cost of nonmedical supplies isn’t typically the responsibility of insurers, said Mary Ellen Grant, spokesperson for the California Association of Health Plans. “Here we are with treatment and office levels back at pre-pandemic

Grid From Page B6 rectified but some critics say CAISO, CPUC and CEC officials have gone overboard in the wake of the blackouts and over-procured sources of energy, with the cost getting passed on to ratepayers. “We have to have some more shock absorber in the system,” said CAISO president Elliot Mainzer. “We have to have a little more margin for error and we do need to look at that reserve margin. Remember, it’s not just the CAISO’s reserve margin. We all share this in the state. You can’t be living that close to the edge.” Last s u m m er ’s outages highlighted a critical change in grid management. In the past, operators worked on the principle that if they had enough

The insurance industry also points out that doctors and dentists haven’t had to fend for themselves when it comes to PPE and other pandemic-related expenses. Since April 2020, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has distributed $9.9 billion to more than 50,000 California medical providers through the Provider Relief Fund, out of $178 billion available nationally. And more than 900,000 businesses in the “healthcare and social assistance” category – including some medical practices and dentists – have gotten Paycheck Protection Program loans from the Small Business Administration since March 2020. A letter from insurance groups opposing California’s bill points to other assistance, such as advance payments on insurance claims from the federal government and insurance plans, state-based grants and loans, and programs that distributed free PPE to some practices. “ T hey ’ve got ten plenty of help from the feds to cover these costs,” Grant said. An analysis released Monday by Kaiser Family Foundation found that most health insurance companies became more profitable during the pandemic. Overall, they collected more premiums from members each month than they paid out in claims, and spent a lower percentage of premiums on medical claims in 2020 than they did in 2019. The nation’s largest medical insurer,

UnitedHealth Group, recently announced its net income for the first quarter of 2021 was 44% higher than in the same quarter last year. Allison Hoffman, a professor who researches health policy at the University of Pennsylvania’s law school, said she has little sympathy for health insurance companies that “made a fortune over the past year” by collecting premiums without paying for the typical number of treatments and doctors’ visits. “We’re starting to see a kind of broader definition of what health insurance might pay for in order to keep people healthy,” Hoffman said. “There’s nothing like a public health emergency to shine a light on the fact that sometimes it’s not a prescription drug or surgical procedure that’s going to improve health.” Late last year, the American Medical Association lobbied the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to approve a procedure code doctors could use to bill those public insurance programs for PPE, disinfecting materials, office modifications to keep people apart, and staff time spent instructing patients before their visits and checking their symptoms. Often, when federal regulators approve a new billing code for Medicare and Medicaid, private insurers start reimbursing for the corresponding costs as well. Allowing doctors to bill for that code would help them follow infection control protocols without further cutting into revenue, the association wrote to the federal agency. But CMS denied the

capacity to meet “peak demand,” there would be enough to cover all the other hours of the day. But with an increase in solar penetration in recent years, the bigger challenge comes a bit later, during “net peak demand.” That’s when demand is not at its highest but is still strong and solar generation sharply dissipates as the sun sets. Grid operators then have to find other sources of power to meet the drop in solar to keep the system balanced. Two weeks after the August blackouts, the State Water Resources Control Board voted to extend the lives of four natural gas plants in the Los Angeles area to ensure grid reliability, despite objections from some residents near the facilities and environmental groups. “We’re not pleased that we still have to use gas and fossil fuels,” Batjer said after the workshop wrapped up. “But

our reality is . . . we’ve got peak and net peak to worry about and we’re going to have to use some fossil fuel.” All this comes as California attempts to derive 100% of its electricity from carbon-free sources by 2045. “This is something we know is a big lift but we’ve taken on extraordinarily ambitious climate objectives,” Mainzer said. “We’re taking on the goal of de-carbonizing our power system and changing the way that we produce electricity for Californians and this transition is going to be difficult and it’s going to require all hands on deck.” That includes calls for residents to conserve energy when the grid is under stress this summer, especially during the 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. hours when solar generation ramps down. “This will take all of us doing our part to maintain reliability during this transition,” Mainzer said.

request, saying it considers payment for those costs as part of the payment for the rest of the appointment, according to an agency spokesperson. In the wake of that decision, two state medical associations took up the cause themselves. The Washington State Medical Association backed a law, which took effect April 16, that allows healthcare providers to bill state-regulated private insurance companies $6.57 when they see a patient in person – on top of billing for whatever services they provide – to cover the cost of extra PPE, staff time and materials to conduct and transport Covid-19 tests. The new rules last through the rest of the federally declared

public health emergency. For a law that put the state’s medical association and insurance association on opposite sides of the bargaining table, it was remarkably uncontentious, said state Sen. David Frockt (D-Seattle), who introduced the bill. California’s legislation, which is still being debated, is more openended than Washington’s. SB 242 doesn’t specify a dollar amount but would require private health plans regulated by the state to reimburse dental and medical practices for the “medically necessary” business expenses associated with a public health emergency. The California Medical Association said physician practice revenues

fell by one-third while PPE costs rose by 14% in the first six months of the pandemic, according to an October 2020 survey of its members. Of the survey respondents, 87% said they were worried about their financial viability. “When you look at the record profits on some of these publicly traded companies and what they’re showing their shareholders, this would be a drop in the bucket,” association spokesperson Anthony York said of health insurers. “We’re not surprised plans don’t want to pay more, but ultimately this is a fight we’ll have in the legislature.” The bill is intended to keep small and mediumsized practices from closing their doors in the face of rising costs, said its author, state Sen. Josh Newman (D-Fullerton). The state medical and dental associations warn that anything that adds costs and cuts into revenue could force smaller practices to close or consolidate, exacerbating physician and dentist shortages around the state. “What I’m doing, as a legislator, is to deliberately offset some of these burdensome costs so we don’t lose physicians and practices,” Newman said. “It would be a shame if those communities lost access to healthcare.” Kaiser Health News is a national health policy news service.

Local: Woodworth, Akin shine for SCC Alumni: Update From Page B2 the second half. “We hit the pipes three more times (in the) second half but couldn’t get the ball in the back of the net,” Wood coach Jorge Ruiz-Chavez said. “We controlled the ball and had more strong pressured shots on goal but we just couldn’t get more than the one in off their keeper,” Armijo coach Megan Flores said. “We ended the first half at 1-1 with simple mistakes on both teams causing the goals. We came back ready to play strong but unfortunately we had an own goal from a miscommunication and we just couldn’t turn it back around from there. Still proud of what the boys brought to the field, they definitely made Wood work for that win and we will just come back strong for the next game.” Armijo’s JV team rolled to a 4-0 victory with Esteban Carcarro scoring the first three goals for a hat trick and Edwing Saucedo netting the fourth.

Vanden 1, Fairfield 1: At Vanden’s George A. Gammon Field, Diego Nunez-Smith scored off an assist by Joshua Jimenez as the Vikings and Falcons played to a draw.

ROCKVILLE — Emma Woodworth and Kenadi Akin each had five hits with the latter driving in seven runs as the Solano Community College softball team rolled to pair of five-inning Bay Valley Conference wins over Yuba of Marysville, Thursday, 17-6 and 13-5. In the opener, Akin was 3-for-4 with two doubles and five RBIs as the Falcons (3-5) overcame an early deficits of 3-1 and 4-3. Woodworth also smacked two doubles, while Gracie Alves ripped a home run and Cristina Aguilar a triple. Aguilar, Katie Poole and Lyndsey Urricelqui each had two hits.
