Veteran, advocate Jewell exercises

IN HONOR OF FALLEN SOLDIERS Amy Maginnis-Honey

AMAGINNIS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

VACAVILLE — Veteran and veterans advocate Jeff Jewell participated five years ago in the Take the Rock veterans swim challenge in the chilly Bay Area waters near Alcatraz. When he finished the swim, a family member of a fallen soldier approached him and wanted to know what Jewell was going to do next. “I’m going to keep exercising and swimming,” he told the woman. “Will you walk for my son?” she asked. The Vacaville resident has since then dedicated his exercising, be it swimming or walking, to a fallen member of the United States military. Jewell, 66, posts his picture, and that of the soldier, on his Facebook page. Jewell shares the background of the soldier. A recent post shows Jewell in the

FAIRFIELD — Air quality officials issued the first smog alert of the season Sunday that’s effective Monday for southwestern Solano County and the greater Bay Area region. The alert coincides with a warning about excessive heat that’s in place Monday and Tuesday for the Bay Area and Sacramento regions and a separate air pollution warning for much of eastern Solano County. Air quality is expected to be unhealthy across the vast majority of Solano County. Light winds and hot temperatures, along with vehicle exhaust, are creating elevated concentrations of ozone, more commonly known as smog. “As traffic bounces back to prepandemic levels, hot temperatures and tailpipe exhaust are expected to cause unhealthy air quality this holiday weekend,” Jack Broadbent, executive officer of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, said in a press release. “This alert highlights the need to reduce our driving and keep air quality healthy by finding alternatives to driving alone, such as taking transit or walking or biking.” Air pollution warnings, called Spare the Air alerts, are issued when ozone pollution is projected to reach unhealthy levels. That’s the case Monday in the air district’s Eastern Zone, which includes much of western Solano County – Fairfield, Suisun City and Benicia – but excludes Vallejo, which is in the

Salute to Lance Cpl. Salvador Dulay and others on this Memorial Day

I Diane Paulson

April 13, 1947 — May 15, 2021

Diane Paulson passed away at her home surrounded by her loving family. Diane was a native Californian and a member of the early Californian pioneer settlers, the Wolfskill family. The Wolfskill family became well-known for growing wine grapes as well as a variety of fruits throughout California. Diane was a direct descendant to John Reid Wolfskill, who was the ‘father of Solano County’s orchards’ and was the first non-native American settler in Solano County. Diane loved living in Fairfield where she and husband Bill raised their three children. She also enjoyed her career with Solano County and after more than 20 years of service, she retired as a Procurement Services Officer. After retiring, she devoted her time to her family and gardening. She also enjoyed many camping trips throughout California. Diane is survived by her husband of 54 years, Bill Paulson; mother-in-law, Lillian Paulson; sister-in-law, Eleanor Paulson; daughters, Kristie Paulson and Kimberly Kent; son, Michael Paulson and daughter-in-law, Elisa; nieces, April Russell, Meredith Carter and Kristin Brau; grandchildren, Christopher McCollister, Christian Paulson, Drew McCollister, Justin Paulson, Julianna Paulson, Kara Kent and Kevin Kent; cousins, Bradley Wolfskill and Renee Wolfskill; and many other members of the extended family. Diane was preceded in death by her parents, Vernon (Ducky) and Dolores Russell (Wolfskill); brother, Richard Russell; and brother-in-law, Richard Paulson. A celebration of Diane’s life will be held from 3 to 7 p.m. Thursday, June 3, 2021, at 2510 Bellevue Court, Fairfield.

He had the annual Bowen Lectures named in his honor and they are still held each fall at the University of California, Berkeley. n Candace Doddridge Lightner, who founded Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) in 1980 after her daughter was killed by a drunken driver. n Robert Hale, who was nominated by President Barack Obama in 2009 to be the Undersecretary of Defense (comptroller).

Salvador Dulay’s name and those of other Solano County military members who gave their all in Vietnam, World War I and World War II, Korea and other conflicts are inscribed in the memorial in front of the old courthouse on Texas Street. It is also chiseled into the black granite of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. – on Panel 04E, Line 76. But Dulay, like so many others, wasn’t just a name etched in stone or granite. He was a person. A son, a brother, a friend. He had hopes and dreams and aspirations. He played football and baseball and grew up in a time when young folks cruised, hung out at the Hi Fi Drive In on West Texas Street and listened to Motown and a new group called The Beatles on transistor radios.

Lance Cpl. Salvador Dulay of Fairfield died in 1966. I salute Salvador Dulay and all who died to protect and defend this country. Locals shared remembrances: JoAnn Hinkson Beebe: He was such a sweet and funny guy. I remember going to his funeral. It really brought the Vietnam War home to us. Mike Seymour: Anybody besides me remember when Sal took his old green Chevy truck to the Vacaville drag strip on Tuesday grudge race night? He pulled ahead of the start line so the starter had him back up behind the line. Well, Sal revved ’er up, the light turned green . . . and he took off backward! Forgot he was still in reverse! Semper Fi, Sal. Kathy Bohr: Sal was my friend. I remember when he was excited about joining the Marines and wanted to talk to my husband, Jim West, about what Marine Corps boot camp would be like. They saw each other in Vietnam. I have two letters in my scrapbook that I received from Sal just before he was killed in action. The world lost a really good person and I lost a good friend.

It’s understandable that you are feeling trapped and want to avoid the entire situation altogether. But walking away from your daughter and your grandkids is not the answer. The best way to handle this toxic relationship is to detox it through honest and open communication. If she continues to make excuses for her behavior, try and see through them to the root of her avoidance and anger.

You pace yourself so timetables can match up -- between friends, colleagues, professional allies and more. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

GETTING VALUE FROM THE SHORTER SIDE This week’s theme, loosely, is looking at the handling of trumps. When should you draw trumps? The answer is multilayered, like an onion.

by Phillip Alder of letters, and in one he wrote: “I have only made this (letter) longer because I have not had the time to make it shorter.” Today, the trump suit is shorter in the dummy than in hand, which can be helpful to declarer. In four hearts, South receives a spade lead. How should he proceed? First, declarer counts his losers by looking at his 13 cards and taking dummy’s honors into account. Here, he has two in diamonds and two in clubs. Next, he counts winners. There are nine: two spades, six hearts and one diamond. South must eliminate a loser, simultaneously generating his 10th trick. Anytime declarer has more cards in a suit in his hand than on the board, he should plan to ruff on the board. After winning trick one, South continues with the ace and another diamond. Let’s assume East returns a spade. Declarer wins with his ace and ruffs the diamond jack with dummy’s heart ace. (Although it isn’t necessary here, always ruff high if you can afford to do so.) South draws trumps and claims. Yes, declarer could have cashed one round of trumps, but if he had immediately pulled two, West would have defeated the contract by winning the second diamond trick with his 10 and returning his remaining trump to kill the vital ruff.

Marin County avoids its share of state housing

M

arin County, the suburban enclave north of the Golden Gate bridge, isn’t interested in having riffraff – meaning ordinary Californians – despoil its bucolic ambience. For the past half-century, Marin’s very affluent residents and their politicians have waged a largely successful campaign, under the guise of environmental consciousness, to slow population growth to a trickle by allowing very little new housing to be built. Between 1970, when anti-growth sentiment first appeared, and 2010, the county’s population grew by just 22.5% while California’s overall population expanded four times as fast, 89.3%. Dan Walters Marin’s population grew by just 8,000 in the past decade. The county’s exclusionary attitude has made it a target for the state’s efforts to deal with a chronic lack of housing by ramping up construction. The state Department of Housing and Community Development’s quotas on local governments to plan for housing over the next eight years translate into 14,400 units for Marin County, or enough for about 40,000 new residents, most with low to moderate incomes. That number is shocking to Marin’s residents and leaders, since the county has added just 54,000 people to its population in the past half-century. Seven years ago, the county’s legislators carried legislation giving Marin a partial exemption from state housing quotas and last year a five-year extension of Marin’s special treatment was buried in a state budget “trailer bill” signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Marin County resident before becoming governor. Nevertheless, Marin County is feeling the pressure to end its quasi-moratorium on housing, and may be returning to an old tactic in response – water supply. During the 1970s, the county deliberately avoided developing new water supplies. In 1971, 89% of voters rejected a proposed aqueduct from the Russian River and two years later a similar measure was defeated again. Although a lack of dependable water was a convenient rationale for avoiding new housing, it backfired when a drought struck in the mid-1970s, leaving Marin unable to supply its current population. The crisis was averted by the emergency construction of a 6-mile-long pipeline over the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, which earned Marin County scorn in the media. “Yes indeed, Marin County residents will have enough water now to fill their canteens when they go on their protest marches to prevent damming of those wild rivers they seem to love so much,” the Oakland Tribune said in an editorial. Afterward, Marin County made some improvements to its water storage capabilities, but remained dependent on rainfall rather than connecting to one of the state’s larger water suppliers, which would have lessened Marin’s ability to shun housing. Drought has again descended on the state and Marin’s main water agency has imposed rationing, is considering whether to seek another pipeline and is on the verge of banning any new water hookups, which would bring housing construction, already scant, to a standstill. Marin County is an example of how local communities that really don’t want the new housing that California desperately needs, especially housing for low- and moderateincome families, block it through indirect tactics. Even were Marin to zone enough land to meet the state’s quota, specific housing developments could still be blocked by a refusal to supply water. In other communities, design requirements such as parking spaces are often employed to make projects economically unfeasible. In still others, developments are held up by misuse of the California Environmental Quality Act. It’s something of a guerilla war, with the state pushing Marin County and other communities to accept more housing than they want and local leaders figuring out new ways to evade the mandates.

extends its power. There is no desire to conquer new land. China’s purpose is to establish a form of dominance in the world by influencing other nations through economic leverage and implied coercive military power. How? By attempting to blunt the might and global reach of the U.S. Navy; as America, with its free-trade policy, is seen as detrimental to China’s rise. Twenty-seven of the 78 so-called Road and Belt countries and organizations, like the World Health Organization, are in a significant debt relationship with the People’s Republic of China. This situation has led to a dependent debt status whereby independent nation-states are reduced to subservient “debtor status” using predatory economics policies. The crouching tiger lays in wait for weak prey. At the 2018 Asia-Pacific Economic Summit, former Vice President Mike Pence encouraged these nations to take the “better option” of U.S. financing saying, “We don’t drown our partners in a sea of debt. We don’t coerce or compromise your independence. We don’t offer a constricting belt or a one-way road.” The Spanish writer George Santayana said, “Those who cannot remember the lessons of the past are condemned to repeat it.” Will the world do this? Jim McCully is a member of the Solano County Republican Central Committee, Vacaville resident and former Northwest Regional vice chairman of the California State Republican Party.

That was in 2006. Judging by Coaston’s guesses, that margin has gotten more lopsided. This isn’t a plea for fairness. What has been monetized cannot be un-monetized quickly. Instead, it is a plea for change. Hire a hundred more Coastons – and demand the same sort of rigorous candor and disclosure from them about their views – and trust will rebuild. It’s the denial of deep bias that is cancerous. Just before Coaston appeared, fellow conservatives Matt Continetti and Fred Barnes joined me to discuss the same subject. Continetti is younger than I am; Barnes is older. But we all agreed media bias has grown worse in recent years. From story selection to story framing, bias leaps off the page or screen and cannot be escaped. The hazard of this vast tilt left is the belief among millions – perhaps a majority – of Americans that media cannot be trusted. Of course, the media cannot persuade on the necessity of receiving the vaccines or, perhaps, on any subject anymore. The bed is made. The nation must lie in it a long, long while. The divide created by bias is too deep. The comments on items such as this are usually full of joy and balance because of that divide, but I hope they don’t turn on Coaston, who was simply stating truth. Hugh Hewitt hosts a nationally syndicated radio show on the Salem Network. The author of 14 books about politics, history and faith, he is also a political analyst for NBC, president of the Nixon Foundation and a professor of law at Chapman University Law School, where he has taught constitutional law since 1996.

City, county, state, Adviser: Debt refinace could save national offices to Fairfield-Suisun taxpayers millions close for holiday Susan Hiland

Daily Republic Staff DRNEWS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — You can put the garbage out if your collection day is Monday, but do not drop the children off at school if they are in hybrid learning or full classroom mode. As the nation gathers to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice, city, county, state and

national offices are closed for Memorial Day. Libraries and schools will be shuttered. There will be no mail delivery. Many brick-and-mortar financial institutions will also closed, as is the office of the Daily Republic. Public transit will run on a reduced schedule. Emergency medical care and police and fire services will be available.

High: Temperature From Page One district’s Northern Zone. Air quality throughout the remainder of the Bay Area is expected to be moderate Monday. The entire region is placed under a warning if one or more of the Bay Area’s five zones experienced unhealthy levels of air pollution. Air quality was unhealthy Sunday in the neighboring Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District which covers eastern Solano County – Vacaville, Dixon and Rio Vista – and Winters in neighboring Yolo County. Air quality is expected to remain unhealthy Monday. Smog can cause throat irritation, congestion, chest pain, trigger asthma, inflame the lining of the lungs and worsen bronchitis and emphysema. Long-term exposure to ozone can reduce lung function. Ozone pollution is particularly harmful for young children, seniors and people who have respiratory and heart conditions. Outdoor exercise during times of air pollution alerts should be done only in the early morning hours when concentrations of smog are lower. The National Weather Service late last week issuedan excessive heat warning for the area on Memorial Day and into Tuesday. Craig Shoemaker of the National Weather Service in Sacramento said high pressure has built overhead throughout Northern California.

Temperatures are expected to soar past the century mark Monday, topping out at 101 at Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield before dropping to 85 Tuesday and dipping again to 82 Wednesday, the National Weather Service reports. The forecast calls for a high Monday of 105 at the Nut Tree Airport in Vacaville, falling to 91 Tuesday and 87 Wednesday. “Monday is the day we really expect the highest heat threat,” Shoemaker said Friday. “This is really early in the season to have this kind of heat. It’s way above normal for this time of year. We could see some records with highs Monday.” The excessive heat warning was issued because the hot afternoon temperatures, combined with the warm overnight lows in the mid-60s to low 70s, will produce widespread moderate to high heat risk. The warming is in effect from noon Monday to 9 p.m. Tuesday. Those same conditions will contribute to the smog alert Monday. The weather service warns those taking part in outdoor activity to take extra precautions. Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun as much as possible, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Know the signs of heat exhaustion and heatstroke. Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstance. Matt Miller contributed to this report.

Tribune Content Agency MIAMI — Three gunmen in ski masks and hoodies ambushed a crowd leaving a rap album release concert at a club in Northwest Miami-Dade early Sunday morning, unleashing a barrage of gunfire that killed two and injured 20 others in what police said was the worst mass shooting in the county in recent memory. Three of those injured are in critical condition, according to police. The shooting started shortly after midnight, Miami-Dade Police Director Alfredo “Freddy” Ramirez said, when three shooters armed with handguns and semiautomatic rifles emerged from a white Nissan Pathfinder and fired dozens of bullets “indiscriminately” into a crowd gathered for a rap concert outside the El Mula Banquet Hall near the Country Club of Miami. Ramirez told the Miami Herald that the shooters sat patiently in the vehicle waiting for the target – or targets – to leave the club before exiting the SUV and taking aim. Some unidentified people in the crowd shot back at the suspects, Ramirez said. The aftermath was so chaotic – with paramedics, friends and family members driving victims

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue took eight of the injured to Miami-Dade and Broward hospitals, said Miami-Dade police spokesman Detective Angel Rodriguez. He said at least 12 other victims went to various hospitals on their own. The two people killed in the shooting were pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators had not identified any victims, suspects or motives in the

shooting by mid-Sunday afternoon. But Ramirez said during an early morning news conference outside the Country Club Shopping Center, where the shooting took place, that the latest attack was “definitely not random.” “This type of gun violence has to stop,” Ramirez said, asking anyone with information on the shooting to come forward, and promoting on Twitter a Miami businessman’s offer to give $100,000 to anyone with information leading to an arrest. “Every weekend it is the same thing. This is targeted.”

Police going through the scene Sunday morning found dozens of bullet casings. They scoured social media and planned to staff any other parties around town with offduty officers. As technicians continued to document the massive crime scene, the hunt was on for the three masked attackers – believed to be men – and the white Nissan Pathfinder they used to ambush the crowd and escape. Investigators also began poring over social-media accounts and surveillance videos, trying to determine whether the rappers or their associates – or other attendees who went to the club – had been targeted as part of an ongoing feud. Meanwhile, family and friends of the victims waited outside of Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital, at one point holding hands in a prayer circle as they awaited news of their loved ones. “We believe this is a targeted act of gun violence,” said Ramirez, whose department has dealt with an uptick in gun violence in recent months. “This is a despicable act of gun violence, a cowardly act.”

Star Families I know that I will never forget the sacrifice their sons and daughters have made for this great nation.” Jewell, having logged almost 250 miles since the pandemic started, dedicated his walk in August 2020 to New Mexico Air Force 1st Lt. Tamara Archuleta, who died March 23, 2003, while serving during Operation Enduring Freedom. He encouraged others to follow in his footsteps. Jewell took steps in April 2020 for his niece, Melissa Andrews, who made masks for family members. He also acknowledges Solano County’s own U.S. Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, who was killed in 2004 while serving in Iraq. “To his father Patrick Sheehan, my friend, I am grateful to have met you. I only wish it has been under different circumstances. I am a better person for knowing you all these years, since your son’s death, and I hope to someday have the courage, passion and bravery you have shown me. Never Forgotten,” Jewell wrote. Jewell said he finds much of his informa-

tion in the publication Military Times. “I pick them at random,” he said. “I try to be accurate. When I can’t find the details, it’s sad.” Jewell takes requests from families. He also gives plasma/ platelets in honor of fallen soldiers. Jewell enlisted in the U.S. Air Force in 1973 and left in 1983. He did two tours at Travis Air Force Base. Today, he rises early in the morning to be among the first to enter the back gate at Travis. He walks around the duck pond, takes in nature’s sights, and thinks. There was also a run-in with a skunk. The two were at a standstill when the mammal decided not to stick around. Jewell, now fully retired, has served as director of the Sacramento Veterans Center. He also serves as chairman of the Homeless Veterans Working Group and as co-director of the annual North Bay Stand Down for homeless veterans. He is also a familiar face at holiday meals for veterans and has counseled many military members and

their families. Jewell lost 80 pounds prior to being part of Take the Rock. He stepped into his office one day and found a book on his desk, “How to Survive Ocean Swimming.” There was no excuse not to try Take the Rock. Jewell trained weekly at Aquatic Park, encouraged by fellow veterans. “It was a killer,” he said of the swim. “I was the last one in. It took me an hour-and-a-half.” The water temperature was 58 degrees. At one point in the water, a cargo ship loomed over him as the channel was reopened to ship traffic. “It was like telling me there was a shark,” Jewell said of the momentum he found to get out of the channel. “When my knee hit the beach, I could not stand up,” he said. “I remember trying to breathe.” Fellow swimmers helped him after the swim and he received a round of applause.

Giants jump on Kershaw, take 3 of 4 from Dodgers Tribune Content Agency

Doug McSchooler/For IndyStar

Meyer Shank Racing driver Helio Castroneves, front, enters turn one, Sunday, during the 105th running of

the Indianapolis 500 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Castroneves went on to get his fourth Indy 500 win.

Helio Castroneves wins 105th Indianapolis 500 Joins four-time winners Foyt, Unser and Mears Tribune Content Agency INDIANAPOLIS – The drought is no longer, and Spiderman lives on. To cap a chaotic, pass-happy Indianapolis 500 Sunday afternoon, Helio Castroneves gave the 135,000 race fans a gift to make up for their absence at the Greatest Spectacle in Racing a year ago. The longtime Team Penske driver, who won this race in 2000, 2001 and 2009, delivered his new team Meyer Shank Racing its first-ever victory by holding off Chip Ganassi Racing’s Alex Palou on the final lap to secure his fourth Indy 500 victory. The win puts Castroneves in one of IndyCar racing’s most illustrious clubs – the now four drivers who have won the Indy 500 in the race’s 105-year history, joining A.J. Foyt, Al Unser Sr. and Rick Mears. This is how Castroneves, now 46 years old, held off IndyCar’s next generation to prove the “old guys still have it”.

Late race chaos Felix Rosenqvist, JR Hildebrand and Takuma Sato ran far ahead up front with 20 or so laps to go, but both needed a late yellow flag in order to make it home without another stop and steal the victory. Without one, Castroneves worked around Palou with seven laps to go to take the lead after the pair swapped spots back and forth several times in the final 50 laps or so. But Palou, who crashed his car Saturday during a second qualifying attempt, came back around with five to go. With two laps to go entering Turn 1, Castroneves, driving for Meyer Shank Racing driver and running his first race of the year took the white flag. Castroneves ran into lapped traffic, giving the Ganassi driver a shot to make a move on the front stretch as the two

out of the pits around Turn 2. The issue sent the 32-year-old spinning straight for the SAFER barrier, his tire still rolling around on-track. Conor Daly, just a few laps after a significantly slow stop took him off the front, struck the tire with his nosecone. The No. 47 Ed Carpenter Racing Chevy, which led 40 laps during the first half of Sunday’s race, luckily didn’t suffer extreme damage and was able to carry on, but the miscue from his team and dose of bad luck mired him outside the top-10 by race’s end.

Early spin derails two favorites Mykal McEldowney/IndyStar

Meyer Shank Racing driver Helio Castroneves drinks milk, Sunday, after winning the 105th running of the Indianapolis 500 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. ran to the line. But Castroneves would not be stopped. He won by just under a halfsecond. Overjoyed, Castroneves immediately leapt out of the car and darted for the fence to make the spider-like climb he made famous two decades ago. After he was joined by team co-owner Mike Shank, Helio sprinted down the track, overcome by emotion, soaking up the fans’ return to IMS.

Rahal pit miscue With drivers all mixed up on pit sequences, Graham Rahal, last year’s 3rd-place finisher, took over the lead for the Rahal Letterman Lanigan team who won a year ago at IMS with Takuma Sato. But four laps later, just moments after Rahal pitted, his left rear tire spun clear off the axle as Rahal accelerated

Stefan Wilson’s return to IndyCar and the Indianapolis 500 after a three-year absence ended unceremoniously on Lap 33. Darting into pit lane for his first stop of the day, Wilson appeared simply to misjudge slowing down for the pit lane. The Andretti Autosport driver, who started 28th Sunday, slammed on the brakes, locked up his tires and subsequently lost control. Wilson’s No. 28 car took an almost immediate hard right directly into the pitlane wall, bringing out the day’s first caution. What’s more important, though, was the timing. Drivers, including race leader at-the-time Rinus VeeKay, began pitting on Lap 30, and the placement of Wilson’s crash meant a closed pitlane while the AMR safety team attempted to clean up the mess. By Lap 36, Sunday’s pole-sitter Scott Dixon was running on fumes and forced to pit for emergency fuel. Alexander Rossi, who started 10th, was forced to do so one lap later. But their cars were so low on fuel that they stalled when stopping on pitlane. Both contenders lost significant time, as their teams tried See Castroneves, Page B7

Kyle Larson wins Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte as Hendrick makes history Tribune Content Agency

Brian Lawdermilk/Getty Images/TNS

Kyle Larson, driver of the No. 5 Metro Tech Chevrolet, celebrates after winning the NASCAR Cup Series Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Sunday, in Concord, North Carolina.

CONCORD, N.C. — Charlotte Motor Speedway was Rick Hendrick’s world and all the other NASCAR teams were just living in it on Sunday. It was as if the Hendrick Motorsports owner knew something others didn’t last weekend when – asked about a potential win at the Coca-Cola 600 – he smiled over at driver Kyle Larson. “Kyle needs to do it,” Hendrick said. The No. 5 driver delivered on the prophecy, handing Hendrick the organization’s 269th victory to surpass Petty Enterprises in alltime wins in the Cup series. Larson led a race-high 328 laps of 400 and

swept all four stages. HMS teammate Chase Elliott finished in second and Kyle Busch finished third. The drama of the night centered on the battles between teammates, with all four Hendrick cars finishing in the top-10 at the end of each race stage. Only Busch was there at the end to break up the party. “I’m living the dream for sure,” Larson said after winning his second win of the season. HMS is riding a wave of momentum after all four Hendrick cars finished in the top-four at Dover two weeks ago and defending series champion Elliott secured Hendrick’s record-tying victory last weekend at Circuit of the Americas.

The Giants successfully counter-punched an earlier sweep at the hands of the Los Angeles Dodgers Sunday and did it against nemesis Clayton Kershaw. With Kevin Gausman (6-0) pitching six shutout innings and Maurico Dubon and Austin Slater hitting home runs, the Giants held on to win 5-4 and take three of four games at Dodger Stadium. The Giants, who were swept in three games by the Dodgers at Oracle Park May 21-24, improved to 33-20 in the National League West and are a half game behind the San Diego Padres. The Dodgers are two games behind the Giants at 31-22. The Giants took charge with three runs in the first inning, a number they’d never reached against Kershaw on their first at-bat in 49 previous starts. Included was Dubon’s third home run of the season. Slater’s home run came in the third inning. G au s m a n lef t

with what the Giants announced as “hip tightness,” giving way to Jarlin Garcia in the seventh, Zack Littell in the eighth and Jake McGee in the ninth. McGee gave up a two-run home run to Albert Pujols, his eighth of the season, but recorded his 12th save of the season. The Dodgers didn’t score until the eighth inning, when Max Muncy hit a two-run home run off Littell, his 13th of the season. Gausman left after throwing 72 pitches in six scoreless innings and was utterly dominant throughout. He threw 62 strikes and 10 balls, walked no one and struck out seven. The final hitter Gausman faced was Matt Beaty, who hit a swinging bunt down the third base line. Gausman got to the ball and made a high-stress throw to first base for the third out, then appeared to be checking himself as he walked to the dugout. After Gausman conferred with trainer Dave See Giants, Page B7

A’s offense stays silent as Angels split series at Coliseum Tribune Content Agency OAKLAND — The A’s offense remained stuck in neutral for the second straight game as their seven-game homestand ended on a sour note. The A’s managed just two hits after the third inning as they could not overcome an early four-run outburst by the Los Angeles Angels in 4-2 loss Sunday before an announced crowd of 10,029 at the Coliseum. Jed Lowrie, Stephen Piscotty, and Chad Pinder all doubled for the A’s, who split their four-game series with the Angels and finished their week-long stay at the Coliseum with a 3-4 record. Oakland starts a six-game road trip Monday afternoon

with a three-game set against the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park. The A’s left eight runners on base and went 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position. Down 4-0, the A’s scored twice in the bottom of the third inning without the benefit of a hit. Mark Canha reached on an Angels infield error, and the A’s worked three straight walks off Los Angeles starter José Quintana, with one to Matt Olson scoring Canha from third. But with the bases loaded and still no outs, Quintana struck out Chad Pinder, got Sean Murphy on a sacrifice fly to score the A’s second run, and fanned Mitch Moreland See A’s, Page B7

Welcome grilling season with kebabs Simple rubs, marinades, flavored butter up your grill game

JeanMarie Brownson

T

The Daily Meal

rue confession: I grill outside all year long. Memorial Day weekend just makes it official! This year, I won’t stand for anything bland to come off my grill – and, if I can help it, yours. An herby marinade sparked with a little crushed red pepper can add flavor to lean meats and vegetables. A dry seasoning blend that combines smoke, spice and garlic will feature in nearly all my steak and rib grill sessions. And after grilling, I propose the liberal use of rich, slightly sweet, bronzed butter to add a chef’s touch of flavor and luxury. Let’s talk about marinades. I recommend using acidic, deeply-seasoned wet marinades to infuse flavor into simple poultry pieces, lean pork and bland vegetables such as zucchini and eggplant. Marinades high in acid will do a bit of tenderizing, too, although most don’t penetrate more than ¼-inch into the foods. Dry marinades, like grill seasoning rubs, add flavor as well as salt – and sometimes sugar – to the surface of tender meats, such as beef steaks, chicken breasts and fish fillets. Dry rubs should be applied well in advance of grilling for the biggest impact. A simple blend that contains smoked paprika helps underscore the smoke of a charcoal grill and proves a great boon when cooking on gas grills. It might not be a well-kept secret, but steakhouse chefs almost always boost flavor with butter. I propose you follow suit with a highlyseasoned butter full of caramelized onions, fresh garlic, spices and a splash of sweet-tart pomegranate molasses. You can keep small parcels of the butter in the freezer for easy retrieval on grilling day. To take advantage of these flavor-boosting creations, I’ll be grilling kebabs for our small Memorial Day gathering. Kebabs please everyone. We can make meatless kebabs, lean turkey kebabs and, for a treat, beef sirloin kebabs. Scale the recipes up or down based on the number of people to serve. For easiest grilling, use metal skewers that are flat so the meat doesn’t move when you turn it on the grill. Another option is a two-pronged skewer which holds everything in place. Wooden skewers work too; just pick out a length that fits on the grill and soak the skewers in cool water before adding the ingredients to them. Using a second wooden skewer will help secure the food. Serve the kebabs over a bed of greens, which will get the flavor from the juices dripping off the hot kebabs. Steamed, small new potatoes sprinkled with the season’s first chives and tender dill fronds make a perfect side – ditto for grilled or steamed asparagus. Gather around the grill with cold rose wine or a variety of non-alcoholic beers and enjoy! HERBY MARINADE FOR GRILLING Prep: 5 minutes Makes about 2⁄3 cup Use this marinade with pork, poultry, fish and vegetables. 5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 5 tablespoons white wine vinegar

Cover the grill and cook 5 minutes. Turn skewers. Cover the grill and cook until meat is medium-rare and nearly firm when pressed 3 to 5 more minutes. Remove skewers from grill to a serving platter lined with arugula. Dot meat with bits of the seasoned butter, if using. Sprinkle with cilantro.

TURKEY AND VEGETABLE KEBABS Prep: 25 minutes Marinate: 1 hour or overnight Cook: 13 to 15 minutes Makes 4 to 6 servings Boneless chicken breast or pork tenderloin can replace the turkey here. 2 pounds boneless, skinless turkey breast or turkey tenderloins, cut into 1 ½-inch pieces 4 green onions, white portion only, cut crosswise in half 2 small zucchini,

5 ounces each, trimmed, each cut crosswise into 8 rounds 1 red bell pepper, cored, cut into 1 ½-inch pieces Herby marinade, see recipe Chopped fresh chives, optional Put the turkey pieces, onions, zucchini and bell pepper pieces on a large cutting board.

Repeat the pattern to fill up 4 to 6 skewers. Place the skewers in a shallow dish or on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush with the marinade. Turn to coat all sides with marinade. Refrigerate covered, periodically spooning or brushing the marinade over the skewers for at least 1 hour or up to overnight. Preheat a gas grill to medium-high or prepare a charcoal grill and let coals burn until they are covered with ash and glowing red. Remove skewers from baking dish (discard the remaining marinade). Place skewers directly over heat source on the preheated grill. Cover the grill and cook 5 minutes. Brush with the reserved marinade. Cover the grill and cook 5 minutes.

Laura Radford/Peacock/TNS

From left to right, Lucie Shorthouse, Faith Omole, Anjana Vasan, Juliette Motamed and Sarah Kameela Impey in “We Are Lady Parts.”

Subversive new TV comedy confirms it’s ‘grrl’ summer Tribune Content Agency Anarchy in the U.K. takes on a whole new meaning with the arrival of “We Are Lady Parts,” Peacock’s punk rock comedy about an all-female Muslim band that bangs out songs like “Ain’t No One Gonna Honor Kill My Sister But Me” and “Voldemort Under My Headscarf.” They have the chops and attitude – now all they need is a lead guitarist, a fan or two, and a gig that’s not in the back of an uncle’s halal butcher shop. “Almost Famous”? Not even close, and that’s what makes this hilarious, six-part British series, written, directed and produced by Nida Manzoor (“Doctor Who”), so deliciously subversive. The underdog tale, which premieres June 3, is a hilarious hybrid of pummeling punk rockisms, immigrant insider humor and 21st century feminism. It’s everything you never expected to see in a show about Muslims . . . or in a series about a struggling garage band. Fans of Netflix’s “Never Have I Ever,” which returns in July, will find inspiration and deep humor in this new bunch of female misfits as they mix hardcore with hijabs. So haram yet so right. Rock ‘n’ roll tropes are fresh again when viewed through the lens of total outsiders – brown and Black Muslim girls raised on the outskirts of London. They are pitied by white liberals, resented by white nationalists and entirely absent in conversations about the next great white hope for rock. But when united by their love of music and their need to rage, they defy expectations and odds, forging their own path atop a mountain of almighty noise. “We Are Lady Parts” focuses on Amina Hussein (Anjana Vasan), a nerdy, modest microbiology Ph.D. student and self-taught guitarist whose goal is finding a husband. But while teaching songs to underprivileged youth, the guitar virtuoso is discovered by the fledgling group Lady Parts. Amina is reluctantly recruited into the band despite her square tendency to wear muted pastels and puke from stage fright. How

Daily Cryptoquotes

will she maintain a modest Muslim girl’s life and rip it up in a punk band? The fun is watching her try. The girls in the band all have their own trials, none of which, refreshingly, has to do with strict Muslim parents or religious edicts. Lead singer Saira (Sarah Kameela Impey) growls like a banshee into the mike and violently chops meat during her day job as a butcher. She fears nothing, it seems, until her boyfriend proposes a long-term, committed relationship. Drummer Ayesha (Juliet Motamed) has a short fuse, which doesn’t help in her job as an Uber driver. Allah forbid the fool who pisses her off. Bassist Bisma (Faith Omole) is an earth mother fueled by furious, riot girl feminism. She authors the cartoon strip “Period (Apocalypse Vag).” And she’s raising her daughter and husband at the same time. Manager Momtaz (Lucie Shorthouse) curses like Sid Vicious and vapes like Post Malone, but from behind her niqab face cover. If only she could book Lady Parts that golden, breakthrough gig. Breaking boundaries without alienating viewers is the challenge, and “We Are Lady Parts” succeeds with the volume cranked to 11. The irreverent comedy started out as a short, part of a Channel 4 initiative in Britain to introduce new talent – Michaela Coel’s “Chewing Gum,” the precursor to HBO’s “I May Destroy You,” was another show that arose out of the enterprise. The longer “Lady Parts” series has already received praise in the U.K., but is America ready for a British Muslim invasion? (Cue the Fox News chyrons.) The Muslim characters of “We Are Lady Parts” come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences, which sounds basic but is a seismic shift given the slanted depictions of veiled women that have proliferated on television since “I Dream of Jeannie.” Hollywood’s version of the Muslim woman is a grieving victim of war, wailing in a pile of rubble while her jihadi husband casually uses their children as

human shields. Bisma, Saira, Ayesha and every other character in the new British series offer an alternative point of view. For example, Amina’s mother is not forcing her to marry. Mum is a laid-back type who wants her uptight daughter to go out and experience life, to loosen up before tying the knot. The women of Lady Parts may wail, but it’s into a mike, shouting lyrics that weaponize tabloidy notions about women and Islam: “I’m gonna kill my sister/ This ain’t about you / It’s between her and me / She stole my eyeliner / What a bitch! . . . It’s an honor killing. It’s an honor killing.” Taboos be damned in this comedy created by and starring Muslim, South Asian, Black and Arab women. They’ve been the butt of smear campaigns and bigoted jokes for so long, they’ve earned the right to satirize that ignorance in their music. The Linda Lindas, LA’s all-girl Asian American and Latinx punk band, know the drill. Their song “Racist, Sexist Boy” recently went viral. A love for music is palpable throughout “Lady Parts.” The soundtrack was written by Manzoor, her siblings Shez and Sanya Manzoor and Benjamin Fregin. They came up with gems such as “Bashir With the Good Beard,” presumably inspired by Beyoncé’s “Becky with the good hair.” When the band’s not jamming to original material, the show retains its keen pop culture sensibility when the group covers Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5” with ferocity, headbangs in the car to System of a Down and cringes at the idea of Amina worshipping an ancient god: Don McLean. Like “Never Have I Ever,” the series is a major leap for television. Both shows feature South Asian nerds as their leads, moving them from the punchline to the main story and giving them the freedom to have messy emotions. They’re angry, goofy, horny and grieving. The return of Netflix’s surprise hit and the anticipation surrounding the arrival of “We Are Lady Parts” marks a milestone summer for underrepresented women of various cultures and faiths.

For example, sometimes in a trump contract, your initial problem isn’t when to draw trumps but how to use a trump to try to stop an opponent from winning a trick unnecessarily. In today’s deal, South is in four spades after West in the auction showed a six-card diamond suit. West leads the diamond ace: three, four, six. West cashes the diamond king: eight, queen, nine. West continues with the diamond jack. Should declarer ruff low or high on the board? Note that East does not play high-low with queen-low doubleton. To drop the queen under partner’s ace shows either a singleton queen or (much more likely) the queen and the jack. Yes, that was a dirty-trick question!

Giants: Gausman solid again on mound From Page B1 Groeschner, manager Gabe Kapler sent Jarlin Garcia to the mound in the bottom of the seventh inning. In the month of May, Gausman had a 0.72 earned run average in 37 innings, giving up 22 hits with six walks and 49 strikeouts. K er s h aw ( 7- 4) departed having giving up more runs to the Giants (five) than in any of his 50 starts against a team he has beaten

24 times in his career. The Giants made him work, with Kershaw throwing 104 pitches before giving way to Joe Kelly in the seventh inning. Gausman supported his own cause by slicing a run-scoring single to left in the fourth inning for a 5-0 lead. The hit brought home Dubon, who opened the inning with a bunt single. Stephen Duggar walked, and one out later a ground out moved runners to second and third. Slater, who hit a pair

with Slater coming home on a ground ball out to short by Evan Longoria. Dubon was next, and he hit the first pitch he saw high and deep to left, giving it all the body language he could muster as the ball hit well up on the foul pole for a two-run home run and a 3-0 lead. After crossing home plate, Dubon mocked the sword sheathing celebration Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer used against the Giants when the two teams played at Oracle Park.

of home runs off Kershaw at Dodger Stadium last Aug. 8, did it again in the third inning. Leading off the inning, Slater hit 2-0 slider that was too high in the zone over the right center field fence to put the Giants up 4-0. The Giants historical first inning against Kershaw started with a solid single to left by Austin Slater, followed by another single from Donovan Solano.

Castroneves: Wins A’s: Fall to Angels From Page B1 to refire their cars and then make an extra stop to fully refuel. In all, the disaster put both cars one lap down. Without another caution called in the rest of the first half of the race, it destroyed any realistic hope either had of aiming for an epic comeback. Dixon managed to unlap himself by Lap 121, and with 50 laps to go, the 2008 Indy 500 winner had worked his way up to 20th. With 40 laps to go, the New Zealander had retaken the race lead and pitted from the lead on Lap 162. With Dixon off-sequence from a majority of the field, Dixon’s strategist,

CGR managing director Mike Hull, elected to try and make the rest of the race without another stop, meaning they’d have to fuel-save pretty heavily and hope for another caution if they hoped even to make it to the end or have a shot at trying to battle for the win. With the race running green to the end, Dixon finished outside the top-10. That early stall in pitlane signaled Rossi’s demise. The driver of the No. 27 Honda simply couldn’t weave his way through slower cars on the lead-lap as quickly as Dixon, and Rossi finished outside the top-25.

The A’s were coming off a 4-0 loss to the Angels on Saturday in which they managed just three hits. A’s starter Cole Irwin had a solid outing except for the second inning when he allowed five hits, including a solo home run to Jared Walsh, and four earned runs. David Fletcher’s two-RBI double and Phil Gosselin’s RBI single accounted for the Angels’ two other runs.

After a mound visit from pitching coach Scott Emerson, Irwin retired Shohei Ohtani and Anthony Rendon to end the second. Irwin settled into a rhythm after that, throwing four straight scoreless innings to keep the A’s in the game. Still, without much offensive suppor t, Irwin’s was his fourth straight this month, as he entered Sunday with an 0-3 record and a 5.24 ERA over his last three starts. Irwin has not won since May 4 when he had nine strikeouts and went a career-high eight innings in a 4-1 A’s victory over the Toronto Blue Jays.
