JUNE 7 PRIMARY

Solano has received 8% of mail-in ballots Todd R. Hansen THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — About 8% of Solano County’s 260,286 registered voters have sent in their mail-in ballots as of Tuesday – one week ahead of the June 7 primary election, the Registrar of Voters Office reported.

John Gardner, the assistant registrar of voters, said as of Tuesday the Elections Office has received Solano Votes 20,082 mail-in ballots, about 7.71%. The ballots were sent out to all registered voters. That is down from recent elections.

Eligible residents can still register up to and including June 7, though their ballots will be considered provisional and counted after the main tally is completed. Mail-in ballots that are postmarked by June 7 will be accepted through June 14, Gardner said.

Voters, however, do not have to use the mail-in ballots sent to them and instead may choose to go to a poll location to cast their votes. The polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. on Election Day. Voters may drop off their mail-in ballots at the polling sites or at a number of drop-off locations through Election Day. That includes from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Gardner said.

SUISUN CITY — Vacaville’s Rudy Recile stands alone as the only Republican seeking the 8th Congressional District seat.

The district is new but has a familiar figure who has dominated regional politics for a long time – Rep. John Garamendi, D-Walnut Grove.

Oddly enough, Recile attended Tuesday night’s candidates forum for Democrats seeking the 8th District seat, and Garamendi did not. He told organizers he would be out of the country.

Edwin Rutsch had hoped to join the event, held at the Marina Lounge in Suisun City, online, but that option was not available for this forum.

Garamendi’s absence left him open to criticism that he does not fit the profile of a new district that has a minority majority, with whites representing just 30% of the population. The fact Walnut Grove is outside the district was not lost on the others, either, though the law only requires that he live in California and not the actual district.

As far as Christopher Riley is concerned, Garamendi has been out of touch for the entire 12 years he has served in Congress, and pointed to the lack of gun control and the recent shooting in Texas as a stark example.

TEXAS MASS SCHOOL SHOOTING

Funerals begin for Uvalde’s 21 victims Tribune Content Agency UVALDE, Texas — A week after the school shooting that killed 19 students and two teachers, this small town is preparing for the first of many funerals – a marathon of grief.

This week, services are planned for 11 children and teacher Irma Garcia. The first is for Amerie Jo Garza, 10, who was buried Tuesday in a casket painted and shrink-wrapped with customized art of her favorite things, said designer Trey Ganem.

you’ll be blessed with children of your own.”

Her tone made me think: Did she mean blessed or cursed?

That story surfaced in my memory this morning. I hadn’t thought about it in years.

My husband and I were sitting outside our house, soaking up sun on a spectacular spring day and brainstorming all sorts of improvements we could make. Put in some new plants. Replace the fence.

Resurface the patio . . . . It was one of those wishful conversations where anything is game until reality creeps in and you start to see dollar signs.

“OK,” he said, “I’m gonna start a load of laundry. Would you like a second cup of coffee?”

He often reads my mind. I nodded and smiled. Moments later he handed me a fresh cup, just the way I like it.

“Mmm,” I said, “lovely.”

He went inside and I leaned

back in my chair to sip coffee and savor the morning.

We live in Carmel Valley, 15 miles inland from Monterey Bay, on a hill where we see mostly rolling green mountains and a big blue sky; buzzards, hawks, hummingbirds and quail; rabbits and gophers; bobcats and deer; and maybe, on occasion, a mountain lion.

I never tire of the sights. But this morning, I closed my eyes and listened to the sounds.

Down by the river, wild turkeys gobbled. A donkey heehawed. Dogs barked like they meant business. A hummingbird buzzed past my ear. And a breeze from the coast swept the valley like a broom, rustling the limbs of oaks and pines and cottonwoods, and rattling the leaves on a plum tree above my head.

The air carried a faint, mixed fragrance of the plants we often use in cooking – Meyer lemons,

rosemary, sage and thyme.

And best of all, I could feel the sun, warming my face, easing my aches, clearing my mind.

All that and a taste of coffee.

Some days it’s worth waking up and going outside just to let nature cleanse your soul.

My mother was right. Sunlight is the best (natural) disinfectant. Cleanliness is next to godliness. (I still can’t argue with that.) And I have indeed been blessed with three children of my own, plus nine helpful grandkids.

But I’m also blessed with an automatic washer and dryer.

And especially with someone who seems happy to use them.

he Fairfield Suisun Rotary and Kaiser Permanente were on the hunt this spring for some great students and found them at the Fairfield Police Activities League Teen Center.

While everyone else is looking for eggs, Rotarians were looking for local teens who are blooming into the next generation of leaders. Together with the Kaiser Permanente, they sent Grocery Outlet gift cards to these students and their families to help them celebrate an Easter meal.

Fairfield PAL since 2009 has served more than 4,000 teens and their families offering sports, health and wellness, academics, social and emotional skill building, financial literacy, leadership and career development, mentorship and more. PAL serves racially and ethnically diverse young people from predominately lowincome households within Fairfield, Suisun City and the Travis School District who are placed at disproportionate risk of becoming disconnected from school, community and family or underserved by traditional services and programs.

PAL works to identify and help resolves issues that affect young people and their families so they can reach their full potential and become healthy, responsible community members. A total of 71% of PAL members live in households that qualify for free or reduced school lunches.

Kaiser Permanente

and the Fairfield Suisun Rotary Club teamed up last Thanksgiving with Famous Creations to provide more than 400 meals to PAL members and their families. They hope to expand the program to include the Fourth of July.

The Fairfield Suisun Rotary Club meets at noon Tuesday at The Salvation Army Kroc Center at 586 E. Wigeon Way in Suisun City. Interested members of the public are invited to attend.

“We are proud of the courageous efforts of our staff and students as they responded with student-centered decision making in the most challenging times of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The team’s perseverance and dedication to create learning systems for our scholars in a time when no school was prepared speaks to our spirit of innovation,” Kairos Executive Director Jared Austin said in a press release. “Our staff, scholars and families came together and were given voice and choice throughout the pandemic and the pivotal practices that developed were a true community effort.”

Kairos Public Schools was recognized for its Innovative Practices in Student Engagement, Distribution of Technology and Social and Emotional Well-Being. Kairos was one of 727 schools and 121 districts recognized statewide by Thurmond.

Wartime photog, artist gives keynote address at Vacaville Memorial Day event Susan Hiland

SHILAND@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

VACAVILLE — Jim Hardy, a wartime photographer and artist during the Vietnam War, was the guest speaker at the Vacaville Memorial Day event Monday.

He talked about being a child of a military family with his dad seeing the first bomb dropped on his hangar at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941.

His father once told him, “That until human nature changes, there have always been wars and there always will be wars.”

After three years of college, Hardy took a break and went to Paris in 1965.

“I enrolled in school to get a deferment from the Army. I was accepted into the Ecole des Beaux Arts and I had a permit to copy paintings in the Louvre museum when the tourists weren’t there,” Hardy said. “I lived on the Left Bank like all aspiring artists.”

In September 1968, after graduating from San Diego State College, the Army caught up with Hardy and he was drafted and went to Fort Ord on the Monterey Peninsula for Basic Training with the option of attending OCS at Fort Benning Georgia after Basic.

“My Military Occupational Speciality was infantry rifleman but

fortunately I was sent to Vietnam as an Army artist. There’s a long story how that stroke of good fortune materialized,” he said.

“When I got home from Vietnam in 1970, I was a surf bum for a couple of years but that got old fast and in 1972 I enrolled in the San Francisco Art Institute on the GI Bill and got a master’s degree doing Civil War woodcarvings and woodblock prints,” he said.

Hardy noticed a similarity in his Vietnam photographs with Matthew Brady’s Civil War photographs and for 10 years continued to carve Civil War items.

“Nobody was talking about Vietnam during the 1970s so it didn’t dawn on me that it was OK to carve Vietnam soldiers until the Vietnam Veterans Wall was dedicated in Washington, D.C.,” Hardy said.

He created a few Vietnam carvings that took him into the 1980s.

“I realized that there wasn’t a market for my artwork,” he said. “I had to find a job to keep the wolves at bay.”

So Hardy learned to weld at John O’Connell Trade School in San Francisco and went to work in the shipyards in 1975. When the yards closed down, he taught welding at Contra Costa Junior College for a few years and eventually got See Keynote, Page A4

Fiesta Days opens for final day despite Sunday shooting Susan Hiland

SHILAND@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

VACAVILLE — Fiesta Days organizers said Monday they were not going to let a shooting Sunday night upend the community event.

“We are not going to let one isolated incident ruin a 65-year event,” Karen Juilfs, a Fiesta Days organizer, said Monday, a day after a man was shot during the event.

The shooting just before 7:45 p.m. Sunday occurred on the third day of festivities that organizers estimate saw upward of 45,000 people over the past four days.

Police have said an 18-year-old Fairfield man was shot in the leg Sunday. An 18-year-old Suisun City man was quickly arrested in connection with the shooting, police report.

“We have never had anything like this happen before,” Juilfs said.

Fiesta Days organizers, in an official statement released Monday afternoon, said in part, that the shooting “does not define our community, (which) is standing together against violence. It’s sad that two individuals, from out of town, believe that they could destroy (the) 65-year anniversary of our event.”

Part of the event was shut down Sunday night but the rest remained open while Vacaville police investigated the incident.

The schedule was back to normal Monday.

Aaron Rosenblatt/Daily Republic

A Vacaville Police Officer bikes near the entrance to Fiesta Days at Andrews Park, Monday.

“People just seemed very disappointed we closed early,” Juilfs said.

“I just want to see kids smiling and I am glad to see families did come back on Monday.”

Jennifer Johnson was working the Margarita Tent just a few feet from the incident when she said the two men exchanged words, then one of them started running right after a gunshot.

“I thought for a moment, should I go break

it up? But then I heard the shot and stepped back,” Johnson said.

People ran in fear but no one else was hurt, she said.

Officers working security also heard gunfire between the carnival area at Andrews Park and the Fiesta Garden at the CreekWalk and went to investigate. They found the victim, gave medical aid and he was subsequently transported to a local hospital.

Herman Torres-Bernal, 18, of Suisun City, was quickly subdued by an off-duty police officer, Lt. Katie Cardona said.

“They waited for the police to arrive when he was then arrested,” Cardona said.

Torres-Bernal was booked into Solano County Jail on suspicion of attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon, both felony allegations, and for a suspected misdemeanor juvenile probation violation. He is being held without bail. An arraignment is set for 1:30 p.m.

Wednesday in Solano County Superior Court in Fairfield.

Cardona is a Vacaville native and remembers attending Fiesta Days when she was younger.

“I want people to feel safe attending this historical event,” she said. “I want this to be a positive activity for families.”

She couldn’t recall there ever being a shooting at Fiesta Days – a stabbing several years ago, but nothing else.

Jackie Maben of Fairfield also couldn’t remember ever hearing of such a thing happening.

It was just as fun Monday as she remembered when she was on the drill team in high school.

“My husband thought maybe we shouldn’t come down today, but I wanted to come and see what was happening,” she said.

James Rabara Jr.

July 15, 2006 — May 14, 2022

Billy D. Arrington Sr. April 1932 — April 2022

It is with great sadness that the family of Billy D. Arrington Sr. announce his passing on April 9, 2022, at the age of 90.

He was preceded in death by parents, Andrew and Flora Arrington; sister, Ruth Palacios, and nephew, Gerald Hauchins.

Bill is survived by his wife of 65 years, Betty, as well as son, Billy Jr. (Shirley); daughter, Vickie Moorhead (Gary); grandchildren, Daniel Moorhead (Dana), Jason Moorhead, John Arrington (Naama), ARMY VETERAN Marlie Billings; six great-grandsons, Noah, Harrison, Camden, Damarco, Daniel and David, and two great-granddaughters, Emelyn and River Grace.

Bill was born on April 2, 1932, in Boissevain, Virginia.

He graduated Pocahontas High School in 1950 and went to work for Pocahontas Fuel, until he left to serve in the Army for three years as a medic in the Korean War. After his service in the Army he again worked at Pocahontas Fuel, then Allied Chemical as an accountant.

During this time he also graduated from Beckley College in Beckley, West Virginia. Bill met his wife, Betty Jennelle, in Mullens, West Virginia, and they were married in 1957.

Bill, Betty and Bill Jr. moved from West Virginia to Fairfield, California, in 1959, where Bill worked for Standard Oil Company (now Chevron). He was later offered his own business with Chevron in 1963. Bill worked at their business for 53 years, joined by his son as he grew older. They retired in 2016, with lots of great memories and friendships.

Bill loved and was active in many sports: hunting, fishing, bowling and skating, but his greatest enjoyment was playing softball, which he played well into his 80s. He also sponsored softball teams. He also loved racing cars, which was another passion.

Bill was a very giving person, and loved people. He always had a positive spirit and many stories to share. He loved spending time with his family and friends, especially at the holidays.

Bill attended Harbor Community Free Will Baptist Church in Suisun City, California.

The family wishes to send a special thank you to the staff at Solano Life House in Dixon for their care and compassion, as well as Bridge Hospice in Fairfield.

There will be a memorial service at 1 p.m. Thursday, June 2, 2022, at McCune Garden Chapel, 212 Main St., Vacaville, California, followed by a service at 3 p.m. at Sacramento Valley National Cemetery, 5810 Midway Road, Dixon, California.

Memorial donations may be made in his name to the Wounded Warriors Project, P.O. Box 758517, Topeka, Kansas 66675-8517, 888-997-2586, or to www.WoundedWarrior Project.org/donate.

James Rabara Jr. was born in Vallejo, California, on July 15, 2006, to mother Jeanette Anunciacion and James Rabara Sr. He was tragically killed in a hit-and-run during the early hours of May 14, 2022. He was only 15 years old.

James resided in Suisun City where he went to local schools, Head Start, Suisun Elementary and Crystal Middle School. He was a student at Armijo High School, excelling in all classes and joined cross country and track and field.

James seemed to have captured the hearts of many teachers who say he was an ‘absolute joy and sweetheart.’

James continued to keep this positive attitude going until his last breath.

He was funny, loving, intelligent and very caring. He was a young entrepreneur who dreamed of opening a business of his own one day. Although he didn’t get the chance, he would’ve loved to see anyone with the same passion to take the opportunity and start the business they been wanting to.

His family would like everyone to remember James as a graceful young man, whose smile could brighten up anyone’s dark days.

James is survived by his mother, Jeanette; father, James Sr.; stepmother, Brittany; siblings, Justine, Jeremiah, Isla and Jeovani; and extended family members.

Viewing will be held from 3 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, June 1, and Thursday, June 2, 2022, at Skyview Memorial Lawn, 200 Rollingwood Drive, Vallejo, California. Funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, June 3, 2022, at Suisun Fairfield Cemetery, 1707 Union Ave., Fairfield. Burial will follow at 1:30 p.m.

County releases recommended budget Daily Republic Staff DRNEWS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — The Solano County administration has released the 2022-23 recommended budget for public review.

The $1.32 million fiscal plan is the largest in county history, and will be the first presented by newly appointed County Administrator Bill Emlen.

“The total recommended budget is 3.5% higher when compared to the fiscal year 2021-22 adopted budget and reflects a financial plan that enables the (Board of Supervisors) to continue the

delivery of county programs and services to residents, including funding existingandongoing Covid-19 response and recovery from the LNU Lightning Complex Fire,” the EMLEN county said in a statement.

The General Fund is recommended at more than $342.52 million, a $6.23 million, or 1.9% increase over the 2022-23 adopted budget, the county reported.

“In preparing the recommended budget, departments were asked to consider their require-

ments to provide services to the community and to factor in the ability to address increased operating needs while funding increased labor costs from the negotiated and approved labor agreements with county bargaining units, all while continuing to respond to demands and complications of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Departments were asked to limit growth in General Fund costs where possible as the county was working to balance the pace of expenditure growth

versus revenue,” Emlen’s budget message states.

A public hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m. June 23 in the board chamber on the first floor of the government center, 675 Texas St., in Fairfield. The new fiscal year begins July 1.

The budget is available on the homepage at www.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You like to shop where the price tags are visible because the cost of a thing figures into how much you want it. Your appetite shifts as you determine what it will take to have your desire – and whether it’s a price you wish to pay.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You wish you could know exactly what it is that ignites the passion in your heart, but such things are hard to define. It either clicks or it doesn’t – and, today, for whatever reason, it will.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Because following your heart is much easier when you also have practical tools, you’ll pick up helpful communication skills. You’ll find it’s much easier to prevent misunderstandings up front than it is to resolve conflict later.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Success is neither mysterious nor complicated. It boils down to repetition. Do the desired thing until it’s the automatic thing. Anything that gets repeated will become engrained.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). In some instances, cutting corners can be the intelligent way to go. Why work harder than you must to achieve the result?

You’ll be as efficient as possible without leaving out anything essential or integral to the quality of your work.

Also, there are a number of restaurants that provide free or significantly discounted meals on Veterans Day to veterans and active duty, and for those that do, I try to make it a point of patronizing those establishments throughout the year. — Sarge Dear Sarge: Thank you for bringing this up – and for your service to our country.

Of course you earned it! It is wonderful that some businesses recognize your service and want to say thank you by offering discounts on meals or free drinks. You are not being greedy. You are the opposite of greedy; trust me.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Progress has its loops and stutters, its dashes and strolls, its grades and retrogrades. So don’t worry too much about the step backward; that is also part of the dance, often followed by two steps forward.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

The events of the day will reinforce certain group dynamics.

People don’t have to be in perfect agreement to work together. When you and your team act as a unified front, you become a unified front.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). You are consumed by a project, but at least it is a healthy obsession. It’s fine if you’re not as accessible to people for a little while, but there will be consequences

if you ignore your people for too long.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Some things are harder to admit, but if you resolve not to judge yourself, everything going on inside you becomes manageable. The more honest you are with yourself, the better you know yourself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). When you were little, you played make-believe games – and you are pretending still. Do not think of pretense as faking it or being false in any way, rather think of it as trying things on, as an early stage of becoming.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

What you thought was the end of a cycle wasn’t even the midway point, but since you’re still committed to getting what you need out of the situation, you’ll hang in there, ready to do what it takes.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Not only is Alanis Morissette born under the sign of the Twins but she also has a twin brother. And, when you think about it, being embodied as a twin is a convenient way for the double-bodied sign to revel in the multiplicity, dualism of life without having to commit to only one identity – or even one place. Perhaps it’s not exactly “ironic” but it is also notable that Morissette has dual citizenship in Canada and the U.S.

South ducked West’s spade-queen lead and won the second spade with his king. Declarer saw that he had eight top tricks. A 3-3 club break would produce a ninth winner, but that was against the odds. Hoping he might make something from the diamonds, South immediately led his six to dummy’s nine. East won with the queen and fired back a spade. However, declarer won, took a second diamond finesse and cashed the diamond ace. When the king dropped, South claimed 11 tricks.

West was unhappy. “Why didn’t you duck the diamond queen?” he asked East. “If South had the diamond king, he would have cashed it first, just in case you had a singleton queen.”

Spacey says he will ‘voluntarily appear’ in UK court Tribune Content Agency NEW YORK — Kevin Spacey will go back to England on his own to face four charges of sexual assault, he announced Tuesday.

“I very much appreciate the Crown Prosecution Service’s statement in which they carefully reminded the media and the public that I am entitled to a fair trial, and innocent until proven otherwise,” he said in a statement to Good Morning America.

“While I am disappointed with their decision to move forward, I will voluntarily appear in the U.K. as soon as can be arranged and defend myself against these charges, which I am confident will prove my

innocence.”

The disgraced actor’s announcement comes a day after an official told the Guardian that the U.K. would seek his extradition unless he decided to return voluntarily.

Spacey, 62, was charged last week with sexual assault against three men, as well as “causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent,” the Crown Prosecution Service Special Crime Division announced Thursday.

Two of the alleged incidents occurred in March 2005, the third in August 2008 and the final in April 2013, according to police. One was in Gloucestershire and the others in London.

From left, Demnlus Johnson, Chris Riley and Cheryl Sudduth participate in the District 8 Congressional Candidate Panel at the Marina Lounge in Suisun City, Tuesday. The event was hosted by the Community Democratic Club.

Dems From Page One A teacher in the East Bay, Riley said he was motivated to run for office because his generation and the minority populations in the region have not had a voice in the conversation about their own lives and their own futures.

Demnlus Johnson could not agree more, but the write-in candidate said he believes the other candidates are outsiders, too.

“I grew here; they flew here,” said Johnson, who is a Richmond City Council member.

However, Cheryl Sudduth said she and her husband could have lived anywhere and chose to live in a part of the Bay Area that became the 8th District, arguing she has been a resident and a neighbor for 30 years.

Johnson is 29 years old.

The top two vote-getters from the primary June 7 go on to the November general election to decide who will represent the district.

Calvin Harrell Jr., president of the Community Democratic Club of Solano County, which hosted the forum, said the event brought forth three good candidates for the club membership to consider for endorsement.

He said the questions that were asked, and answered, were broad and addressed a number of district concerns, including affordable housing, and what role the California Environmental Quality Act has had in the housing crisis. The candidates also were asked whether they were ready to discuss reparations for African-Americans.

Jay King, president of the California Black Chamber of Commerce, was the moderator.

All three candidates favored discussion about reparations, with Johnson adding it was time to talk about “cutting the check.”

He is the lone African-American among the racially diverse group.

Riley called the matter complex and added that

everything this country does moving forward should have making up for the past as part of that effort.

Sudduth noted Native Americans must also be part of that discussion.

Her and Johnson’s opinions converged in arguing the discussion cannot just be about monetary reparation, but also educational, housing and other issues that have left the AfricanAmerican population at a disadvantage.

The issue of affordable housing had clear breaks among the candidates.

Johnson said he favors tax credits to incentivize building middle-income housing as well as housing for lower incomes.

Sudduth called for more public housing and tenant protections, but agreed there must be incentives for builders to build.

Riley said the country has to stop corporations from buying family homes as investment tools.

All the candidates agreed that CEQA is necessary to protect humans and the environment, but agreed it has been weaponized and is bureaucratic. Sudduth said only the wealthy can buy their way around those rules.

In the end, each candidate offered up why he or she chose to run for Congress.

Sudduth said she was contacted by former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, calling the new district an opportunity to address many of the social justice issues she has been active in for many years.

She also emphasized her background in environmental science – with two college degrees – and her 25 years as an international negotiator on contracts, which she said makes her the most qualified to engage in the party-broken environment of Congress.

Riley, who has a law degree, said he wants to give a voice to his generation. Johnson continued to emphasize that he was born and raised in the area and said if voters vote for him it is like voting for themselves.

But he also conceded the hard road he has ahead as a write-in candidate.

From Page One them. They’re remembering the good times.”

“There was TikTok, softball, horses, dinosaurs, hiking. One girl wanted to be a marine biologist, so we put whales and dolphins on hers,” said Ganem, who drove the last few caskets 220 miles west from his company’s base in Edna, Texas, over the holiday weekend.

Most of the children’s funerals will be open casket, Ganem said. But for those like Amerie Jo’s that are closed, he said, “we put their picture on the outside of the casket.

With that, the families can see their child for a last time.”

Amerie Jo’s visitation and rosary started Monday at Hillcrest Funeral Home, where children had been evacuated to from Robb Elementary. The school was still a crime scene this week, investigators darting in and out past yellow police tape. Outside, hundreds of people flocked to a growing memorial featuring life-size photos of the victims piled with flowers and stuffed animals.

Amerie Jo’s aunt, Desirae Garza, 33, lives down the street from the school. Walking to her niece’s rosary late Monday, wearing a “Uvalde Strong” T-shirt, she avoided the giant crowds near the school – most people from other Texas cities but some from as far as California, Florida and New York.

“It’s been hard for my brother and his wife,” she said before entering the funeral home. “Once all this is gone, we’ll still be grieving.”

Retiree Yrma Fuentes, 75, also joined the rosary for Amerie Jo, because she’d known her grandfather and father for years, and planned to attend the funeral at Uvalde’s Sacred Heart Catholic Church. A reception was scheduled to follow at the local American Legion Hall. The

Travis From Page One head of an organization of Union veterans, Maj. Gen. John A. Logan, established Decoration Day in 1869 as a way for the nation to honor those who died in the Civil War by placing flowers on the soldiers’ graves, according to the U.S. Veterans Affairs Department.

President Lyndon Johnson declared Water-

Ballots From Page One “I would encourage using a drop-off (location) instead of the mail because (the postal service for first-class mail) doesn’t guarantee we will get it by Election Day,” Gardner said.

The ballot includes local, state and federal offices, but there are no ballot measures.

Voters will decide who will be the next sheriff and who will be the next district attorney, and voters in the 3rd District will decide who will represent them on the Board of Supervisors for the next four years.

Sheriff Thomas Ferrara faces a challenge from retired sheriff’s Deputy Daryl Snedeker, while District Attorney Krishna Abrams faces off against one of her chief deputies, Sharon Henry.

The supervisor candidates are Jennifer Barton, Joe Joyce, Pete Sanchez, Chuck Timm and Wanda Williams.

Herby Ham Adult Activity Center was booked with funeral receptions throughout June.

“I’m mourning with my neighbors, with my humble town,” Fuentes said as she headed to the funeral home with a black ribbon pinned to her chest. “I’ve lived here all my life. What hurts my neighbors, my community, hurts me.”

Jimmy Lucas, president of the Texas Funerals Directors Assn., drove to Uvalde from Fort Worth to assist the town’s two funeral homes Tuesday, starting with Amerie Jo’s funeral.

“While we’re funeral directors and we deal with loss and tragedy every day, this is above and beyond,” Lucas said.

“Just the sheer number of services.”

Many people have volunteered to cover funeral expenses for the victims, including local companies and an anonymous donor who gave $175,000.

While Amerie Jo and most of the children will have funeral Masses at Sacred Heart, Uvalde’s only Roman Catholic church, some services will be held at the funeral homes, including the one for Eliahana Torres, 10, on Thursday. Her family called her “a master of jests who loved making people laugh” but who was also “nurturing and always putting others before herself,” according to her obituary.

Like Amerie Jo’s, Eliahana’s casket – also designed by Ganem – will feature pictures of some of her favorite things: TikTok, softball and yellow slime, said her uncle Rudy Aguero.

Aguero, 47, who works at the front desk of an emergency room in San Antonio, is accustomed to other people’s tragedies.

He said that the children’s deaths still seemed surreal, that the week anniversary of the shooting “approached so fast.”

“We still have the most difficult days ahead of us,” Aguero said as he stood with relatives on his stepfather’s front lawn, near a purple ribbon on

the mailbox signifying that they were among those in mourning.

Eliahana’s casket is to be open for her funeral.

“We finally get to see and say goodbye to her,” Aguero said.

He has been having trouble sleeping. He’s been angry but also plagued by thoughts of his niece’s final moments with the gunman.

“What keeps me up is not knowing: Was she the first? Was she in the middle? Was she scared?

What were her final thoughts?” Aguero said.

Police waited outside Robb Elementary for more than an hour before moving in, believing that the gunman, 18-yearold Salvador Ramos, was barricaded inside and no longer shooting, officials said. Police have faced criticism for not confronting Ramos sooner, and the Justice Department announced Sunday that it would review law enforcement’s response.

In a town as small as Uvalde, home to about 16,000 people, almost everyone knows one – and often many – of the victim’s families and plans to attend at least one of the funerals.

“Somehow or another we’re connected to all of them,” said Ana Santos as she distributed water to those visiting the memorial at Robb Elementary over the weekend.

Santos, 62, worked in the school’s cafeteria: “We knew all the little faces from the register.”

One of her former coworkers is Nelda Lugo, grandmother of 9-yearold victim Ellie Garcia.

Santos planned to attend Ellie’s funeral June 6 – two days after what would have been the girl’s 10th birthday. Santos said that Lugo had told her: “I won’t believe it until I see her in the coffin.”

A visitation for Maite Rodriguez, 10, an honor student who dreamed of becoming a marine biologist, was also held Monday, with services at the funeral home scheduled for Tuesday night.

At Sacred Heart, Rev. Eduardo Morales has been meeting with fam-

ilies and has a group of counselors from Catholic Charities on site to help for the next six months. He’s also heard from hospital staff traumatized by the attack and law-enforcement personnel who responded to the scene and have since faced criticism for not acting quickly enough to save lives.

Morales, 62, is from Uvalde, grew up at the church and has served as parish priest for the last six years, burying fewer children during all of that time than were killed in the May 24 shooting. On Sunday, he met President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden when they joined his Mass, and the president requested a blessing. On Monday, Los Angeles Archbishop José H. Gomez, who Morales said was an old friend, called to check on him.

Morales plans to officiate the children’s funeral Masses, as well as a combined Mass on Wednesday for teacher and mother of four Irma Garcia, who was killed in the shooting, and her husband, Joe Garcia, who died of a heart attack two days later. The couple grew up together in Uvalde and were high school sweethearts, married at the church 25 years ago.

“I’m doing funerals for people I’ve known all my life,” Morales said, including at least one girl killed in the shooting who had celebrated her first Communion with him.

Morales plans to include stories about each child in his homilies at their funeral Masses, as well as a message: “Don’t celebrate the death – celebrate the life, the blessings these children brought, even in their short lives.”

Morales worries about the ongoing private suffering, especially of those closest to the victims, after the public spotlight shifts from Uvalde.

“My concern is that all of this is going to come to an end,” he said. “Everyone’s going to leave, and we’re going to try to go back to normal. I hope we don’t forget the families.”

loo, New York, the official “birthplace” of the holiday in 1966, Simmons said.

“America doesn’t always do a lot of things right but we do this right,” Simmons said.

The challenge is never to forget the men and women who have served.

“Let us not forget the cost of freedom,” he said.

Simmons was accompanied by his children, Luke, 14, and Shelby, 17.

“This is a time to not only remember our father and his service but the

service of other family members as well,” Shelby Simmons said.

Her brother, Luke, echoed the sentiment and included a big thank you to those who served the country past and present.

Along the lines of remembrance, the event honored those attending who were active military, including Gold Star Moms. It also gave a nod to the local VIPs and members of local Boy Scouts troops who came out for the day.

The downtown ser-

vices moved to the Fairfield-Suisun Cemetery for a VFW ceremony and then to the Rockville Cemetery for an American Legion ceremony.

The day concluded with a meal at the Veterans Memorial Building in Suisun City.

Memorial Day events also happened in Vallejo.

The first was at the Mare Island Naval Cemetery followed by a ceremony at Veterans Park behind Vallejo City Hall.

If no candidate in any of the primary elections gets a simple majority, the top two votegetters will have a runoff in November.

Among the state-level offices to be decided is the newly configured 11th Assembly District, with short-term Assemblywoman Lori Wilson, D-Suisun City, and Jenny Callison, R-Vacaville, on the ballot. James Berg, who lists no party preference, has qualified as a write-in candidate. The district includes all of Solano County and parts of Contra Costa and Sacramento counties.

Seth T. Newman, with no party preference, is a write-in candidate for the newly drawn 4th Congressional District.

The candidates who will appear on the ballot are Rep. Mike Thompson, D-St. Helena, along with fellow Democrat Andrew D. Engdahl and Republicans Matt Brock, Scott Giblin and Jimih L. Jones.

Jason Kishineff lists no party preference.

Demnius Johnson, a Democrat, is a write-in candidate for the newly

drawn 8th Congressional District. The candidates who will appear on the ballot are Rep. John Garamendi, D-Walnut Grove, along with fellow Democrats Cheryl Sudduth, Edwin Rutsch and Christopher Riley. Rudy Recile of Vacaville is the lone Republican.

Rep. Doris Matsui, D-Sacramento, Jimmy Fremgen, a Democrat, and Republican Max Semenenko are seeking the 7th Congressional District office, which includes a small portion of Solano County.

Three Democrats – Braden Murphy, Jose Altamirano and Nader Shahatit – and Republican Ted Gaines are vying for the 1st District seat on the state Board of Equalization.

Voters across the state will decide on who will be the next governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, attorney general, controller, treasurer, insurance commissioner and superintendent of public instruction.

They also will decide who will be the U.S.

senator to fill out the final months of the appointed term being served by Alex Padilla, a Democrat, and who will win a new U.S. Senate term.

There are 52 district elections for the U.S. House of Representatives in California, 20 state Senate seats up for grabs and 80 Assembly district elections, although 10 of the Assembly contests have single candidates on the ballot.

Solano County offices for which there were only single candidates, and therefore each getting new terms, include eight Superior Court judgeships, the 4th District supervisor. assessor-recorder, auditor-controller, superintendent of schools and the treasurer-tax collector-county clerk.

That list includes a first-time office-holder Glenn Zook, who will be the new assessorrecorder, replacing Marc Tonnesen.

Guns overtake cars as leading cause of death for US youth Tribune Content Agency For decades, the biggest threat kids faced growing up came from the automobiles they happily hopped into every day for a trip to school, the store or soccer practice.

Now, it’s gunfire.

As the country mourns its latest school shooting victims in Uvalde, Texas, it also has reached a grim milestone: Guns now kill more kids and teens in the U.S. than auto accidents do.

The trend has been building in recent years as automobile deaths have fallen with improved safety measures, while gun violence among the young has taken a growing toll. Figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that in 2020, the most recent year available, firearms passed motor vehicles as the leading killer of those ages 1-19.

“It was clear to me that it was just a matter of time,” said Dr. Lois Lee, a pediatric emergency medicine physician at Boston Children’s Hospital and an associate professor of pediatrics and emergency medicine at Harvard Medical School who has been studying the trend. “I just didn’t think it would occur so quickly.”

What’s spurred the violence? Experts point to many causes – the frustrations of entrenched poverty and discrimination, glorification of gun violence in popular culture and entertainment, and too-easy youth access to guns in many states like Texas – all kicked into overdrive by the stresses of the Covid-19 pandemic.

“We live in a society

right now where gun violence is becoming increasingly tolerated,” said Rutgers University-Newark psychology professor Paul Boxer.

“What I’ve seen locally, personally, it’s a lot of anxiety and depression.”

But Boxer cautioned the factors behind the rising youth gun violence are as varied as the patchwork of gun laws and socioeconomic circumstances across a politically divided country.

In a New England Journal of Medicine paper published last month, Lee noted that firearms overtook automobiles as the leading killer among those ages 1-24 in 2017, as gun violence became dead-

lier among older teens and young adults.

For children and adolescents age 1-17, motor vehicles remain the top killer, the CDC figures show, though guns are closing in.

Motor vehicle deaths among youth ages 1-19 fell from 7,885 in 2002 to 3,512 in 2019 before ticking up to 3,913 in 2020.

U.S. gun deaths among kids and teens had hovered around 3,000 annually since 2000, reaching a low of 2,450 in 2013. But they have risen since, spiking to 4,357 in 2020.

A recent CDC report noted a 35% increase in gun homicides overall in all age groups from 2019 to 2020.

Graduation time is here and the Daily Republic would like to offer the opportunity to capture some of the excitement and memories of this very special occasion. On Sunday, June 12th, the Daily Republic will publish photo pages honoring graduates (Pre-school through College/Tech School) in a special “Keepsake Edition.” This edition will include photos of local graduation ceremonies & students.

Russian forces close in on takeover of eastern Ukrainian province Tribune Content Agency DNIPRO, Ukraine — Ukrainian forces desperately tried to block a complete Russian takeover of one of the country’s two eastern provinces Tuesday, with Russian troops clawing out incremental gains even as European leaders agreed to a partial oil embargo aimed at starving Moscow’s mammoth war machine.

A combined force of Russian troops, Chechen fighters and pro-Moscow separatists slugged their way deeper into Severodonetsk, the Ukrainian government’s seat of power in the province of Luhansk, seizing a sizable portion of a city that has been almost completely

An eldery man walks by a damaged appartment building after a strike in the city of Slovyansk at the eastern Ukrainian region of Donbas amid Russian invasion of Ukraine, Tuesday. destroyed in the fighting.

“Unfortunately, the front line divides the city in half. But the city is still defending itself,

the city is still Ukrainian, our soldiers are defending it,” Mayor Oleksandr Striuk said in an interview Tuesday with a Ukrainian broadcaster. He urged residents to remain in their shelters, adding that aid stockpiles would last a few more days.

The Luhansk regional governor, Serhiy Haidai, said Russian strikes also destroyed a nitric acid factory in the city. Photographs, which could not be independently authenticated, showed huge orange clouds of thick smoke rising into the sky and were posted on Ukrainian news websites. Haidai echoed the mayor, urging people to remain in shelters to avoid the toxic air.

Farther west, Russian

artillery also pounded the city of Slovyansk, the next target after Severodonetsk as Russian forces advance.

Several Ukrainian residents were reported killed and wounded Tuesday after Russian rockets hit an apartment complex where only a few dozen people still lived amid the intensified fighting. Most were sleeping when the attack came.

Earlier, the Moscowbacked leader of the self-proclaimed breakaway Luhansk People’s Republic, Leonid Pasechnik, said one-third of Severodonetsk was in Russian hands, adding that his forces controlled 95% of Luhansk’s territory.

“Our offensive is proceeding perhaps not as fast as we would like,”

Pasechnik said in an interview with Russian state news agency Tass. “But above all, we want to preserve the infrastructure of the city as much as possible.”

Over the weekend, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the Russian assault had already destroyed all of Severodonetsk’s “critical infrastructure.” Another city official last week said about 90% of residential buildings in the city were damaged.

In separate comments Tuesday, Zelenskyy pushed back on suggestions in some quarters – including former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger – that Ukraine should be prepared to give up some territory to Russia

to end the war. Ukraine’s mission was to dislodge Russian “occupiers” from all parts of the country, Zelenskyy said. “I don’t care what Russia’s plans are,” he said, according to the presidential office.

Some Biden administration officials are privately beginning to see that goal as unrealistic.

Amid the fighting, two Russian soldiers were convicted of war crimes by a Ukrainian court, which sentenced each man to 11 1⁄2 years in prison.

Alexander Bobykin and Alexander Ivanov were charged with shelling civilian buildings in the Kharkiv region Feb. 24, the first day of the Russian invasion. It is the second war crimes trial since the conflict began.

2. 2016-17 Vanden girls basketball

Armijo softball team, 4 Vanden squads won state crowns PFARMER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

When it came to sorting out the city’s top 10 athletes and coaches, picking the top three, four or five was essentially a no-brainer, the numbers they amassed and success they achieved speaking for themselves.

Coming up with a list of top 10 teams?

Not so easy.

City schools have won no fewer than five state championships on various levels, some mythical as decided by Cal-Hi Sports, others decided on the field or the court. Several other teams have finished in the overall top 10, one as high as No. 2.

On my last day of working for the Daily Republic, using the Cal-Hi Sports State Record Book and Almanac, records from the Sac-Joaquin Section and California Interscholastic Federation, and our own extensive but in some areas incomplete records, I’m taking a stab at making a list of the city’s top 10 teams, including honorable mention picks.

And as with my lists of athletes and coaches, I will undoubtedly leave

out many worthy candidates and apologize in advance for doing so.

Here’s the list:

1. 1978 Armijo softball There’s an argument to be made that the top team in city history, especially where a state championship is involved, should have won that championship in actual competition and not because of someone’s opinion. There are also several arguments in favor of the 1978 Armijo softball team, coached by Peggy Linville, the biggest being that the Indians are the only squad in city history to win an overall state championship, even if it was proclaimed by Cal-Hi Sports. They went 23-0, the best of any of the city’s state champs, and won the third ever Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs to be held with a 5-4 victory over Bella Vista of Fair Oaks. This group was no flash in the pan, winning the SJS title again in 1980 and capturing Monticello Empire League titles in 1977, 1978, 1980 and 1983.

Another argument is how to rank the three Vanden teams that captured their state titles by winning a ballgame.

The 2016-17 Vikings girls basketball team, which went 31-5 and took its second straight SJS Division III title, ended the season on a 24-game winning streak. Of all the teams to win a state championship on the court or on the field, these Vikings did it against the team with the best athletic pedigree, Mater Dei of Santa Ana, which had won four of its previous six title game appearances.

Yet what sets this Vanden team apart from the others – as it does every year – is the fearlessness with which co-head coaches Allison and Jake Johnson set up their schedule. Getting their clocks cleaned is absolutely worth it if it makes the team better, as evidenced by lopsided losses to Mesquite of Gilbert, Arizona (80-55) and Clovis West (79-42), which went a combined 65-3 and won their respective state championships.

Such losses helped

prepare them to edge Miramonte of Orinda 66-65 in the NorCal finals and outscore Mater Dei 26-6 in the fourth quarter to pull out a 64-61 win in the state title game.

3. 1985-86 Vanden boys basketball The Vikings found their toughest competition in the Superior California Athletic League, going 12-2 in SCAL play by splitting games with Dixon and Benicia, outlasting the former 64-62 to win their third SJS championship.

They went on to finish 27-2 after a 68-63 win over Crossroads in the Division III title game.

Howard Hall poured in a then-school-record 569 points during the season, averaging 19.5 points per game and winning his second straight SCAL MVP award.

4. 2021 Vanden football The temptation is either to downplay or overhype Vanden’s 2021 state championship because it happened so recently, just last DecemSee Teams, Page B2

Aaron Rund didn’t have much time to be concerned about after one of his worst starts of the year. The Campbell University baseball team needed him to come through, and the Will C. Wood High graduate did just that, helping lift the Camels to a berth in the NCAA regionals.

In Friday’s late game in the Big South Conference tournament, Rund was lit up for four runs on five hits with two walks and two strikeouts in just two-thirds of an innings against South Carolina-Upstate.

The Camels (40-17) had him off the hook in a hurry, however, scoring five runs in the bottom of the first inning and went on to an 11-8 victory to stay alive.

After a 10-6 win over Charleston Southern in the first game of the championship round, Rund was called on to start the winner-takeall second game and got the job done, striking out a season-high eight batters while allowing two runs on five hits with three walks over 5 1/3 to get the victory in a 3-2 triumph, improving to 5-1 on the season.

The Camels, who are conference tournament champs for the sixth time in their history and third time since 2018, are seeded third in the Knoxville (Tennessee) Regional and will open against No. 2 Georgia Tech.

Giants use extras to beat Phillies for second straight game Tribune Content Agency

After 3 decades, sometimes you just know when it’s time to go

win the Mountain West Conference tournament title and earn an NCAA regional berth. Tyler Bosetti and Nevada met Hunter Dorraugh and San Jose State in the loser’s bracket final, with Brayden Altorfer, Jason Booker and Air Force awaiting the survivor.

San Jose State (30-29) opened with a 2-1 win over Nevada and lost 7-3 to Air Force, setting up a rematch with the Wolf Pack, which followed its opening-round loss by eliminating top seed UNLV, 7-3. In the rematch, Nevada (29-26) was no match as the Spartans jumped to an 8-2 lead after four innings and never looked back in winning 15-6.

Air Force, which had taken off with a 5-2 upset of UNLV, followed up its 7-3 win over San Jose State with an 8-3 thumping of the Spartans to clinch its first NCAA regional berth since 1969.

Altorfer (Vacaville) went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and four RBIs in the first game and was 3-for-11 with one run, five RBIs, a sacrifice fly and a walk for the tournament. Booker did not see action.

The Falcons (30-27) are seeded fourth in the Austin (Texas) Regional and open against No. 1 Texas.

Dorraugh (Vacaville) went 3-for-15 with three runs, an RBI and a walk in the tournament. In his first year with the Spartans, he got into 55 games with 53 starts,

P H I L A D E L PHIA — After needing extra innings only three times in their first 46 games, the Giants played extra baseball Tuesday night for the second time in as many games with the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.

For the first time this season, they played into the 11th, but Donovan Walton wouldn’t let it go on any longer. He turned on the third pitch of the inning and drove it off the wall in right field, driving home ghost runner Joey Bart from second to score the decisive run in a 7-4 win.

Walton went from bad-luck goat to extrainning hero, after a two-out ground ball in the bottom of the 10th bounced off the second-base bag and over his glove, allowing the Phillies to tie the game at 4 and negate Joc Pederson’s 10th inning infield single that gave

the Giants their first lead in extras.

With one swing the next inning, Pederson gave San Francisco the insurance it needed, hammering a two-run home run into the second-deck in right field that bounced off the empty seats that once held fans who were long gone as the game drew on beyond four-and-ahalf hours.

Manager Gabe Kapler made the bold decision to intentionally walk Bryce Harper in the bottom of the 11th, bringing the winning run to the plate. And it paid off, as José Álvarez got Roman Quinn swinging to end this marathon.

With their third extra-innings win of the season, the Giants secured a series win over a team that has lost five straight and 12 of its last 16, defeating the Phillies in extra innings for the second straight night. San FranSee Giants, Page B2

Giants From Page B1 cisco had lost nine of 14 coming into Philadelphia but pulled out its third straight game Tuesday night.

Jakob Junis limited the Phillies to one run on three hits, lowering his rotation-best ERA to 2.68, but didn’t factor in the decision after manager Gabe Kapler came with the early hook with one out in the fifth.

Junis handed the bullpen a 3-1 lead, after the Giants plated three to get on the board in the top half of the inning, but they couldn’t hold on to it. John Brebbia allowed all four batters he faced in the sixth to reach base, and two scored to tie the game at 3. A vintage Jake McGee prevented the damage from being worse, touching 98 mph while needing

to face only two batters to record the final three outs of the inning.

Thairo Estrada led off the fifth with his second single of the game. After being stranded on third base in the first inning, he would score the Giants’ first run after San Francisco loaded the bases on a single from Curt Casali, in the lineup at designated hitter, and a walk from Tommy La Stella.

La Stella was called on to pinch-hit for Evan Longoria, who afterward the television broadcast showed having a spirited discussion with manager Gabe Kapler in the dugout. The Phillies had turned to right-handed reliever Nick Nelson, so Kapler opted for the platoon advantage.

Longoria had five home runs in his past five games – three against righties – but was hitting only .182 against righthanders this season.

Teams From Page B1 ber. While the Vikings finished second in the MEL to Vacaville, a game some fans of one playoff foe accused them of tanking so they’d get a better playoff seeding, they wound up going 13-2, rolling to dominant playoff wins over Dixon (61-0), Vista de Lago (67-27), Merced (49-21) and Windsor (56-28) before rallying with two fourthquarter TD passes from Tre Dimes to Jamai East for a 14-13 win over Aquinas of San Bernardino in the Division 3-AA state title game.

Along the way, they became the highest-scoring team in city history with a defense that habitually scored points on its own and consistently set up the offense.

5. 1995 Vanden football Before the 2021 Vanden football team stormed through the playoffs, the 1995 Vikings squad led by city all-time leading rusher Pat Haines was considered the top grid squad in city history.

Some still do, no doubt, and with good reason. The 1995 unit rolled to a 13-0 record and trailed for only a few moments all season, winning the SCAL title with ease and defeating defending champ Bear River of Lake of the Pines for the third SJS title in school history and being named the Cal-Hi Sports Division IV champion.

6. 1995 Vanden baseball Just winning the SCAL was an accomplishment for the 1995 Vikings, let alone going 23-5, winning the SJS crown and being named the Cal-Hi Sports Division IV state team of the year. There were few tougher leagues around, as starting with Vanden in 1994, the SCAL won seven straight SJS D-IV titles and eight in nine years – six by Vanden, two by St. Patrick/St. Vincent and one by Justin-Siena.

7. 2001 Fairfield softball While successful enough to go 33-5 and win its second straight Sac-Joaquin Section Division I championship and be named No. 2 in the final Cal-Hi Sports overall state rankings, these Falcons are remembered most for a loss. They fell 1-0 to Woodland in the first SJS title game in 30 innings with Alicia Hollowell striking out a national-record 61 batters in the game which needed

Hollowell went on to no-hit the Wolves in the second title game to give the Falcons the crown.

Some might say other Falcons teams were better because of superior offenses – the 1999 and 2000 squads come to mind – but neither wound up ranked second in the state, a distinction surpassed only by the 1978 Armijo squad.

8. 2006 Fairfield girls track Of all the solid track teams in city history, boys or girls, none was more dominant than Fairfield’s in 2006, which finished fifth in the CIF State Championships. After winning the SJS Division II title with 95 points, they amassed 74 in the SJS Masters, 29 more than runner-up Vallejo, though no point totals were kept, with five event champions – Sharina Lofton in the 100, Keshia Baker in the 400, Dominique Jackson in the 800 and both relays, with Lofton taking second in the 200, Champelle Brown third in the 400 and Vanice Colbert third in the 300 hurdles.

At the state meet, Baker was third in the 400 (54.84) and Brown sixth (56.05), Jackson was third in the 800 (2:11.07), Colbert was seventh in the 300 hurdles (44.77), Lofton was ninth in the 100 (12.05), and the 4x400 relay team was third, the 4x100 relay team was fifth.

9. 1936 Armijo football The first of the city’s six section championship football teams deserves a mention in the top 10. It was the last of four unbeaten Indians teams under legendary coach Buck Bailey, going 8-0-1 and capturing a Central Section title with an 18-0 road win over Patterson. The squad gave up just 12 points all season, only six by the first-team defense, and recorded seven shutouts, including five straight to end the season. It was led by standout lineman Manuel Campos, who would later loom large in city politics.

10. 1939-40 Armijo boys basketball No city basketball team that played more than 10 games had a higher winning percentage (.952) than the 1939-40 Indians who went 21-1 in Buck Bailey’s final season before he moved on to Woodland High.

Their only setback was a late December 30-28 loss to Vallejo, a much larger school at the time. They went on to win their last

15 games, including a 42-17 thumping of Tuolumne in a Central Section title game, outscoring opponents by an average of 44-27 on the season. Alvin Athey led the team at 10.4 points per game, followed by Tony Perez at 9.4, Jack Hopkins at 9.0, Clarence Woodard at 8.2, Bob Lambrecht at 4.8 and Ray Erickson at 1.7.

HONORABLE MENTION (listed chronologically) 1952-53 Armijo boys basketball: Led by Mike Diaz, the state’s leading scorer, the Indians went 22-2 and 6-0 in the SCAL, the middle of three straight league championship teams.

1967 and 1968 Vanden boys track: Though the school hadn’t been open more than a few years, the Vikings won the SJS title in 1967 with 42 points, tying with Mira Loma for the crown in 1968 with 46.

1977-78 Armijo gymnastics: Won Armijo’s first SJS title in only the second year gymnastics was contested at the section level.

1982 Fairfield boys track: The Falcons scored 35 points to win the SJS championship, edging Lincoln of Stockton and Vanden by one point. They went on to have three state placers in Fred Covington, second in the long jump (23-11 1/2); John Morris, fifth in the high jump (6-8); and Robert Mabrey, sixth in the 400 (48.27).

1984 Vanden High football: In Ron Beverly’s third year as coach – and son Ronnie Beverly’s second year as starting QB – the Vikings went 12-0 to win the second section title in school history and end up ranked No. 2 in the Cal-Hi Sports Class A state rankings.

1988 Fairfield football: Arguably the best team in Fairfield history, the Falcons won their first MEL title, outscoring league foes by an average score of 42-6. A quarterfinal upset loss to Lincoln of Stockton puts a damper on its legacy, however.

1989-90 Vanden boys basketball: With largely the same cast, the Vikings team that followed in 1990-91 won the most games in program history by going 31-2, but the 1990-91 squad didn’t lose in the Northern California championship game, getting past Tamalpais, 64-58. Then it had the misfortune of playing Santa Clara of Oxnard, led by UCLA-bound Shon Tarver, falling 56-38 in the state title game at the Oakland Coliseum Arena. It was all part of an era in which the Jim Boyd-coached Vikings made it to or won in the SJS title game six times in an eight-year span.

1989 and 1990 Fairfield boys track: The Falcons enjoyed a magical two-year run, winning the SJS championship with 53 points in 1989 before repeating with 66.5 points in 1990.

1994 Fairfield wrestling: The Rocco Cardinale-coached Falcons are the only team ever to keep Vacaville from winning a MEL championship.

1994 Fairfield softball: Winningest team in any sport in city history with a 42-4 record, finishing second in the SJS and No. 6 in the overall Cal-Hi Sports state rankings.

1995 Fairfield softball: Getting the job done by winning the SJS title where the record-setting 1994 club fell short, the 1995 Falcons were led by super slugger Carlyn Rojas and ace pitcher Carmen Martinez. They were ranked No. 7 in the state by Cal-Hi Sports.

1995-96 Fairfield girls basketball: Arguably the two best Fairfield girls basketball teams played in back-to-back seasons, starting with the 1995-96 squad that went

31-4 overall, 14-0 in the MEL and won the SJS Division I championship by crushing Florin, 54-25. It went on to be the Northern California runner-up, ranked No. 15 overall in the Cal-Hi Sports final rankings.

1996-97 Fairfield girls basketball: With largely the same cast, the 1996-97 Falcons went 31-3, again went 14-0 in the MEL to extend the league winning streak to 42 straight and repeated as SJS D-I champions with a 64-47 win over Florin. Fairfield didn’t go as far in the NorCals, losing in the semifinals, but finished higher in the final Cal-Hi Sports final rankings at No. 11.

1999 Fairfield baseball: Finished as the No. 3 seed from the MEL and went undefeated in the playoffs, knocking off Woodland, which included future Boston Red Sox star Dustin Pedroia, in the finals.

2001 Fairfield football: After dropping its first two games, the 2001 Falcons didn’t lose again until falling to Elk Grove in the SJS Division I title game. The 1991 FHS team also got there but didn’t have anywhere near the offensive punch as the 2001 squad, including future NFL players Desmond Bishop and Quinton Ganther, as well as Demario Warren, all of whom would rush for more than 1,000 yards at some point in their careers. En route, the Falcons tied Vallejo for the MEL title, the last Falcons football team to claim a league title.

2002 Armijo boys tennis: Led

by MEL singles champ Chris Kubica, the Indians opened the season with 22 straight wins, including an upset of powerhouse Davis in the semifinals before losing 7-2 to Jesuit in the finals.

2003 Vanden softball: Anjelica Selden would lead the Vanden High softball team to a 29-1 record in 2002 and win the Gatorade National Softball Player of the Year Award in 2004, but it was 2003 when she and the Vikings enjoyed their highest state ranking, going 22-3-1, winning the Sac-Joaquin Section Division III title and finishing No. 5 in the state, according to Cal-Hi Sports.

2004-05 Fairfield girls basketball: Coming out of nowhere as the eighth seed in the Sac-Joaquin Section Division I bracket, not only did the Dan Early-coached Falcons claim the SJS crown, they made it all the way to the NorCal title game and finished the season 30-5.

2007 Rodriguez football: During David Fishleigh’s three-year run as Rodriguez football coach, they won two Solano County Athletic Conference titles in 2006 and 2008, and the SJS Division III crown the year they finished second in the conference to Bethel. After a demoralizing 34-8 loss to the Jaguars in SCAC play, the Mustangs won six straight, including road playoff victories over Casa Roble and Inderkum before avenging their loss to JBHS in the section title game.

2011 Rodriguez softball: Led

by Gatorade State Player of the Year Cheyenne Cordes and featuring a lineup that batted .418 with 65 doubles, 16 triples and 24 home runs, the Mustangs rolled to the SCAC title with a 15-0 record and won their second SJS title in three years. Brenna Mitchell did her part in the circle, going 21-0.

2012 Armijo boys tennis: While it lost to Davis 9-0 in the SJS Division I finals, coach Greg Davis feels his 2010 team might be better than his 2002 squad. Led by Joey Zink, the Indians finished the season 23-1.

2021 Vanden girls tennis: The Vikings capped their 18-1 season with a 6-3 win over Central Catholic in the SJS Division III finals, a sweet finish for the seniors who’d been part of the 2019 team that lost 5-4 to Manteca in the 2019 finals.

DAILY REPUBLIC — Wednesday, June 1, 2022 B3

Zombie firms face slow death in US as era of easy credit ends Tribune Content Agency They are creations of easy credit, beneficiaries of central bank largesse.

And now that the era of unconventional monetary policy is over, they’re facing a challenge like never before.

They are America’s corporate zombies, companies that aren’t earning enough to cover their interest expenses, let alone turn a profit.

From meme-stock favorite AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. to household names such as American Airlines Group Inc. and Carnival Corp., their ranks have swelled in recent years, comprising roughly a fifth of the country’s 3,000 largest publicly traded companies and accounting for about $900 billion of debt.

Now, some say, their time may be running short.

Firms that could once count on virtually unfettered access to the bond and loan markets to stay afloat are being turned away as investors girding for a recession close the spigot to all but the most creditworthy issuers. The fortunate few that can still find willing lenders face significantly higher borrowing costs as the Federal Reserve raises interest rates to tame inflation of more than 8%.

With surging input costs poised to eat away at earnings, it’s left a broad swath of corporate America with little margin for error.

The end result could be a prolonged stretch of bankruptcies unlike any in recent memory.

“When interest rates are at or close to zero, it’s very easy to get credit, and under those circumstances, the difference between a good company and a bad company is narrow,” said Komal Sri-Kumar, president of Sri-Kumar Global Strategies and former chief

global strategist of TCW Group. “It’s only when the tide runs out that you figure out who is swimming naked.”

Of course, there have been any number of moments over the past decade when zombie firms have appeared on the cusp of a reckoning, only for markets to be tossed a last-minute lifeline. But industry watchers note that what makes this time different is the presence of rampant inflation, which will limit the ability of policy makers to ride to the rescue at the 11th hour.

That’s not to say that a wave of defaults is imminent. The Fed’s unprecedented efforts to bolster liquidity following the onset of the pandemic allowed zombie companies to raise hundreds of billions of dollars of debt financing that could last months, even years.

Yet as the central bank works to quickly unwind the stimulus, the effects on credit markets are already plain to see.

Junk-rated companies, those ranked below BBBby S&P Global Ratings and Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service, have borrowed just $56 billion in the bond market this year, a more than 75% decline from a year ago.

In fact, issuance in May of just $2.2 billion is set to be the slowest for the month in data going back to 2002.

“If rates had not been so low, many of them would have gone under” already, said Viral Acharya, a professor at New York University’s Stern School of Business and former deputy governor of the Reserve Bank of India. “Unless we have another full-blown financial crisis, I don’t think the Fed’s capacity to bail out is necessarily that See Zombie, Page B7

Most student-loan borrowers made no payment during US freeze Tribune Content Agency A majority of borrowers who together hold about $400 billion in federal student debt made no payment on their loans in the pandemic era, taking full advantage of a freeze put in place at the onset of the Covid-19 crisis.

Data from the Federal Reserve show that 60% of borrowers who qualified for forbearance didn’t make a single payment from August 2020 through December 2021. The U.S. central bank, in a paper published Friday, suggested that some of these 11.5 million borrowers may not be able to resume paying once the freeze is lifted.

The forbearance on payments and interests is set to end on Aug. 31 after being extended multiple times by the Trump and Biden administrations.

“Once the provision expires, there could be a deterioration of creditrisk profiles, which could infringe on this group’s general access to credit,” the Fed wrote in its report.

More than 40 million of Americans have student debt. But only about 20 million of them were required to make payments before the pandemic, averaging about $260 a month. The rest included more than 6 million borrowers who were in school and exempt from making payments, in addition to people who were in their grace period, benefited from deferment or were in default.

Since the second half of 2021, credit-card balances increased at a faster pace for the group of student-debt holders who made no payment during the pandemic. Their debt balances at the end of last year were slightly higher than two years earlier, according to the Fed data.

Delinquency rates on their credit cards, as well as auto and mortgage debts also rose in the second part of the year.

These are additional signs that their budgets may already be strained – and that they may struggle to resume payment on loans.

Owner wants to give away his newspaper Tribune Content Agency MINNEAPOLIS — Lee Zion is heading to Ukraine to fight against Russian invaders.

But before he goes, he’s got one task to complete: giving away the weekly newspaper he owns in Lafayette, Minnesota, a town of about 500 residents in Nicollet County near New Ulm. That’s right. Zion is offering to make a gift of the Lafayette Nicollet Ledger. With about 500 subscribers, the paper is profitable, Zion said, and has no debt.

It sounds like a sweet deal, but it’s no gravy train, he cautioned.

“To put out a good newspaper, they have to do what I do,” Zion said.

“And that is, do everything myself with only a handful of [freelancers], and work seven days a week and never take time off.”

Lee Zion, the owner of the Lafayette Nicollet Ledger, wants to give away the weekly newspaper so he can fight against Russian invaders in Ukraine. nalism, Zion, 54, bought the Ledger four years ago for $35,000. The Brooklyn, New York, native had worked at newspapers from coast to coast, rarely staying in one job for more than a few years because, he said, “I have an abrasive personality.”

Before Russia invaded in February, Zion didn’t really care all that much

about Ukraine. But he did care about the bandura, a stringed instrument that’s considered the national instrument of Ukraine.

“It’s a gorgeous instrument. I thought, someday I’m going to buy one,” Zion said. “And Russians murdered people just for the crime of playing it.

“Sounds silly, but at the same time, it’s so silly

that it’s evil.”

Zion decided he needed to go to Ukraine, to help in any way he could. But how could he find out what to do, where to go, how to make the journey? Again, it was the bandura that guided him.

“The first thing I did was look on the internet,” he said. “There’s a chorus in Toronto that plays the bandura. I thought, they’re Ukrainian, they’re hard-core. Certainly they can tell me who to call.”

The bandurists advised him to get in touch with the Ukrainian embassy in Chicago.

He began to map out a plan: a flight to Warsaw, then a train to Ukraine.

He plans to put himself at the disposal of anyone who needs him.

“Where I go, that is up to other people,” Zion said. “They’ll decide whether I’m going to be in a combat zone. They’ll See Owner, Page B7

CALMATTERS COMMENTARY

Anaheim scandal continues SoCal syndrome

A

corruption scandal is unfolding in Anaheim, an Orange County city best known as the home of Disneyland.

Affidavits filed by federal investigators describe a tightly knit clutch of political and business figures – self-described as a “cabal” in one intercepted message – that wields life and death influence on major financial issues.

Todd Ament, the former chief executive of Anaheim’s Chamber of Commerce and the central figure in the alleged cabal, faces federal charges of lying about his assets in the purchase of a Dan Walters Big Bear Lake vacation home.

That case is an offshoot of the larger case now being developed, including the role Harry Sidhu may have played while Anaheim’s mayor. Sidhu resigned last week and another figure, political consultant Melahat Rafiei, stepped down from her position as secretary of the California Democratic Party.

Jeff Flint, a longtime consultant to Republican candidates, took a leave of absence from his firm after one FBI affidavit cited an unnamed consultant as a participant in the cabal, but from its description apparently pointed to Flint. Flint denied any wrongdoing, as have others implicated in the case.

A May 12 FBI affidavit, filed to obtain warrants for Sidhu’s telephone and email records, broadly outlines allegations of fraud in the purchase of a helicopter, obstruction of justice and witness tampering related to the highly controversial sale of the cityowned baseball stadium to Angels owner Arte Moreno – a deal now on hold.

However the Anaheim case plays out, it adds to an unsavory history of local government corruption in Southern California.

Every few years, another case erupts.

Scandals are so common among the dozens of small cities in Los Angeles County that the speaker of the state Assembly, Anthony Rendon, once called his district a “corridor of corruption.”

A few miles north of Anaheim, in the City of Industry, another municipal scandal is making its way through the courts.

The Los Angeles district attorney’s office has charged four men, including former state Sen. Frank Hill, with stealing $20 million the city advanced to a company for a solar power project that never was built.

The case stemmed from a battle among several cities for control of a 2,500-acre cattle ranch called Tres Hermanos in the Chino Hills, which was to have been the project’s site.

Hill spent four years in prison three decades ago for his involvement in a Capitol corruption scandal. Others facing charges include William Barkett, scion of an influential Stockton family who had previously faced criminal and civil charges, attorney Anthony Bouza and Paul Philips, Industry’s former city manager.

The common denominator in these scandals, such as the massive one involving the City of Bell 12 years ago, is that local government decisions can have enormous economic consequences, ranging from trash hauling franchises to real estate developments. One aspect of the Anaheim scandal involves city rules governing marijuana sales.

Those who may benefit from municipal actions have an obvious motive to influence decision makers and often hire those with inside connections, such as campaign consultants. Venal officials, meanwhile, see others profiting from their decisions and rationalize they are entitled to a piece of the action.

So, one might wonder, who’s guarding the municipal henhouse?

Sometimes journalists do it. The Bell scandal was uncovered by Los Angeles Times reporters. Occasionally local prosecutors do it, such as in the City of Industry case.

Mostly, however, it’s left to the FBI and federal attorneys to pursue corruption cases.

We know about cases that have surfaced.

We don’t know how many malefactors have gotten away with it.

have their finger on the trigger.

Second, those who are responsible for these guns – those who fire them criminally – or irresponsibly – and the gun owners if their carelessness contributed to a crime – must be held accountable with extraordinarily long prison sentences.

I do not want them executed. I want a lifetime of them knowing they will likely never be free again.

Perhaps there should be a special tax on these kinds of weapons, both manufacturing and retail taxes, to offset the cost to the taxpayer for the incarcerations. But, I admit, that is a throw-in afterthought.

Truth be told, putting a mass killer in a tiny cell for decades is a better use of our tax dollars than paying the salaries of government officials who specialize in rhetoric, who so easily cry and pray after the worst is done, then argue about rights of the trigger men, the unenforceable legislation and then add more rhetoric.

The rest of us, hopefully, will make the choice to shop for products made by manufacturers who made the right choice, and shop at retail outlets that have made the right choice and vote for those who are willing to back choice as the solution.

Reducing gun violence is one thing while mass shootings are another. It’s a difficult crime to prevent. Even banning AR-15s like 70% of the American public is prepared to do, according to recent polls, wouldn’t stop this senseless crime. Remember that the 2007 Virginia Tech shooting that left 32 dead was committed with two handguns.

The best way to prevent them is for family members, classmates and teachers to report anyone making threats or posting on social media about committing a violent act. The closest people to the suspect are our first line of defense.

That’s why it was important all those years ago when my creative writing teacher was so disturbed by my writing that she set up that intervention. They sensed something might be amiss. And I confessed to them my parents were divorcing and writing the frightening stories was cathartic for me. They understood.

I wasn’t homicidal, but I benefited from that intervention and subsequent therapy. We need more interventions right now. Peace.

How ‘Stranger Things’ Season 4 gets 1980s teen culture right Lorraine Ali

LOS ANGELES TIMES

A

fter three years between seasons, “Stranger Things” is back with an older cast and a new threat: adulthood.

“Stranger Things 4” is set in 1986, six months in TV-time since the gang from Hawkins, Indiana, defeated the Spider Monster in the food court of the Starcourt Mall and thwarted a Soviet plot in the shopping center’s basement. El, Will, Mike, Lucas, Dustin and Sam have outgrown their dorky-cute phase. Now they’re uncomfortably awkward, like a collection of humiliating photos from your 10th grade yearbook come to life: uber-gawky teens so socially inept in comparison to their high school peers that they teeter on the precipice of unlikable. (The hair is particularly bad. Even for the ‘80s.)

The brilliance of “Stranger Things 4” is that rather than gloss over the unpleasantry, it leans hard into their clumsy, painful transition. Though the alienation and shame of bullied high schoolers is a much tougher sell for a beloved sci-fi series than the pain porn of young adult dramas like “13 Reasons Why” or “Euphoria,” “Stranger Things” channels that darkness into a fresh narrative that’s as much an ode to “Hellraiser”-era horror films as it is to growing pains.

Series creators, writers and directors Matt and Ross Duffer have always turned to films, shows and references from the Reagan years to set the tone for each season. Odes to the goofy nostalgia of “Ghostbusters” and “Goonies” worked when the gang was younger, then nods to “Fast Times at Ridgemont High,” mall culture and “Indiana Jones”-style adventure as they aged. But the misery of high school calls for horror, naturally: “A Nightmare on Elm Street” and the “It” miniseries are a few of the callbacks in Season 4, and the

Daily Cryptoquotes

terror is as much psychological as it is physical.

High school social strata and dating are as confusing and perilous to the boys as the alternate dimension beneath the surface of their town known as the Upside Down. Formerly confident girls who had few issues expressing their anger have now stuffed it down, rendering them powerless and depressed. “Satanic panic” has gripped the nation, Hawkins included. The new wave of supernatural tragedy gripping the community is being blamed on devil worship, i.e. anyone who plays Dungeons and Dragons or listens to hard rock.

Did we mention that Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) is now in a hard rock band? The true source of the murderous evil is Vecna, a ghoulish man/creature who resides in the Upside Down and thrives on destroying the residents from the inside out. Mining suffering and regret is his thing, and he has plenty to work with among the teens of Hawkins.

In the first seven episodes of the penultimate season, all of which are now available to stream on Netflix (the final two drop July 1), the old friends are scattered across the country and the globe. The terminally worried Joyce Byers (Winona Ryder) lives in California with sons Jonathan (Charlie Heaton) and Will (Noah Schnapp) and daughter-by-proxy Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown). Mike (Finn Wolfhard) is there too, visiting El over spring break, leaving his sister Nancy (Natalia Dyer) and friends Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin), Dustin, Max (Sadie Sink), Robin (Maya Hawke) and Steve (Joe Keery) behind in Hawkins.

Hopper (David Harbour), who was presumed dead last season, resurfaces in a Soviet prison.

Murray Bauman (Brett Gelman) joins forces with Joyce to free him. Dustin’s genius gal pal Suzie (Gabriella Pizzolo) returns, and the scene in her Mormon household is one of the

best. And thank goodness for Erica (Priah Ferguson). Lucas’ mouthy 11-year-old sister is not as emotionally battered as the older kids, so she emerges as a sharp weapon against Vecna.

New to the party is metalhead and Dungeons & Dragons “Hellfire Club” master Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn). He’s accused of committing a string of heinous murders around Hawkins. The long-haired outcast contends that “Forced conformity [is] the real monster,” and he’s not entirely wrong. There is plenty of fun to be had in “Stranger Things 4,” which both celebrates and parodies a decade that pushed conformity, conservatism and questionable style. There are plenty of headbands and sideways ponytails held up by Scrunchies. Lucas sports a Kid ‘n Play hairdo. Joyce now yells at folks through a cordless phone that’s bigger than her head. The music includes speed metal by Extreme, some “Detroit Rock City,” stoner anthems by Musical Youth, one-hit wonders Dead or Alive and Falco. And of course, Kate Bush’s “Running Up that Hill,” which sets the tone for a moving sequence with Max. But “Stranger Things” does not rely on 1980s sentimentality this time around. The series sets aside the high-powered halcyon lens it used in the past and allows high school to be the torturous thing that it was, at least for those of us that did not fit in. It’s heartbreaking when El realizes she’s never going to be accepted by her peers: “ I am different. I do not belong.

Everyone looks at me like I’m a monster.”

Season 5 will be the last, and we know what’s coming. The end of high school, and with it, the potential disbanding of this tightknit group. Or not. Because the oddest thing about “Stranger Things” might be its capacity to keep surprising us.

Like its characters, it’s still growing – no matter how un-photogenic the journey.

Somehow the original South got very high, to four spades. I have dreamed up a sequence.

West led the diamond ace. He continued with a low diamond, declarer ruffing East’s queen. Now if South had been able to play a heart to dummy’s 10, he probably would have made the contract. East would have won with the king and returned a spade, but whether South finessed the nine or queen, or put up the ace, he would have found 10 tricks dropping into his lap. The fall of the heart queen and the lucky 3-3 spade split with the jack onside would have left the contract unbeatable.

However, West foresaw that possibility. At trick three, he put up his heart queen. Now declarer’s contract was dead. He won with dummy’s heart ace and played a spade to his nine, but West won with the king, put his partner on play with a heart to the king and received a heart ruff to defeat the A VARIATION ON contract.

Tom Cruise as Capt. Pete “Maverick” Mitchell in “Top Gun: Maverick.”

Top Gun’s Maverick risks China’s anger with Taiwan flag Tribune Content Agency Tom Cruise isn’t simply taking on what appears to be Russianmade fighter jets in his update to the 1986 classic “Top Gun”: He’s also angering China.

The sequel “Top Gun: Maverick” features Cruise’s character wearing a bomber jacket with the Taiwanese flag, something considered an independence symbol by authorities in Beijing, who view the island as part of its territory. The government of President Tsai Ing-wen asserts Taiwan is already a de facto independent nation in need of wider international recognition.

The flag was either missing or couldn’t be seen properly in a trailer for the film in 2019, prompting some people to wonder whether it had been removed to satisfy demands from China’s censors. But when the full movie recently hit theaters, keen observers noted that the flags had made a comeback. Similarly, the Japanese flag was reinstated.

During an advanced screening in Taiwan, audiences cheered upon seeing Taiwan’s flag appear on Cruise’s jacket and applauded several times throughout the film, according to a report by local online media outlet SETN. The film isn’t expected to be released in China.

Commentary regarding the film on a some movie-focused Chinese social media accounts focused on the film’s box office success. Maverick topped the Memorial Day weekend charts in North America, taking in an estimated $124 million in ticket sales.

Hollywood has a long tradition of bowing to pressure from Chinese censors, removing images and dialog from scenes that might be considered offensive in President Xi Jinping’s increasingly conservative society.

But the decision to keep the image of the flag on the back of the jacket worn by protagonist Captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchell suggests that at least some Hollywood executives might be turning a new page when it comes to Chinese censorship.

“Hollywood is now pushing back,” Chris Fenton, a former movie executive who wrote “Feeding the Dragon: Inside the Trillion Dollar Dilemma Facing Hollywood, the NBA, & American Business.”

“The market is simply not worth the aggravation anymore in attempting to please Chinese censors.”

Chinese tech giant Tencent Holdings Ltd. withdrew from the $170 million Paramount Pictures production on concerns the company’s affiliation with a movie celebrating the US military might anger Beijing, the Wall Street Journal reported earlier, citing people familiar. Tencent didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on Tuesday.

Authorities in Beijing are particularly sensitive to anything that could imply that Taiwan is an independent country. In 2018, companies including Air France-KLM and Deutsche Lufthansa AG were among more than 40 airlines that made changes to their websites to modify references to Taiwan.

Cooking From Page B3 But the tool must be tailored to the recipe, said chefs.

An induction oven performs well when cooking a satiny crème brûlée or other custards, because it provides the consistent temperature that prevents scorching, said Rodney Baca, who runs the Shop by Chef Baca eatery at San Jose State University and also has food stands at SAP Center.

“It’s awesome, in certain areas,” he said.

But if your goal is a perfectly seared filet mignon, coated with coarsely cracked peppercorns? Or chicken fried steak, with crispy breadcrumbs? Only gas will do, he said.

The subtle smoky flavors and aromas of Wok Hei – “wok energy” in Cantonese – are only achieved when the food’s vaporized oil touches the flames from the wok

Owner From Page B3 decide whether I dig ditches. They’ll decide whether I’m a teacher. I can be an escort taking people out of Ukraine.

“Maybe they’ll put me into news, because that’s what I’ve been doing my whole adult life.”

Meanwhile, he put his newspaper up for sale.

There were a few tirekickers but no serious offers. So he decided to give it away. Last month, the Ledger ran an ad with his offer.

The owner, it said, “wants to leave the paper in good hands. To get this newspaper, entirely free of charge, the next owner must show that he or she has the knowledge, experience and the drive to take on the challenge.” The Ledger, the ad continued, is “small circulation but financially solvent, read by

burner, said Le Ziblatt.

Electricity can’t create the sustained high temperatures needed by fryers, added Stout. He also worries about dishwashing, if electricity can’t quickly heat the 200-gallon flows high enough to meet health department standards.

“When the state has rolling blackouts and cannot seem to supply the demand now, it seems unrealistic that they could meet the extra pull of power needed for restaurants,” said Stout.

Higher electricity bills are hard for small business owners, said Baca, whose induction stoves pushed up his PG&E bills from $800 to $2,800 a month.

But if the technology improves, efficiency increases and costs fall, both home and professional chefs will learn to embrace electricity, predicted Baca.

“Everybody wants to see a healthy Earth and preserve our fossil fuels,” he said. “We want our kids to have a future.” people who are proud of their kids and proud of their hometown.”

Zion said he’s had a few inquiries and just last week met with a prospective owner. But he stressed that the most important thing, to him, is helping Ukraine.

Passing on the newspaper is just something he needs to do to make that possible.

Zion isn’t married and has no children. Loved ones in his life – his father, his brother, some women he’s been seriously involved with – were initially skeptical of his plans, he said, but they’ve gradually come around.

So far, he said, about 7,000 Americans and Canadians are in Ukraine, helping the resistance. He hopes to inspire more to join in.

“If this guy can drop everything and rush to Ukraine, why can’t I?” he said. “I’ll be 7,001 and they’ll be 7,002.”

Howard Lipin/San Diego Union-Tribune/TNS file (2020)

AMC Theatres at the Westfield Mission Valley shopping center in San Diego, March 14, 2020. AMC is considered

by some to be a corporate zombie, a company that isn’t earning enough to cover its interest expenses.

Zombie

over a given period. To account for the impact of the pandemic, Bloomberg’s analysis looked at the trailing 12-month operating income of firms in the Russell 3000 index relative to their interest expenses over the same span.

Roughly 620 companies didn’t earn enough to meet their interest payments over the past year, down from 695 12 months prior, but still well above pre-pandemic levels.

Matt Miller, a spokesperson for American Airlines, said that the company has a “strong liquidity balance of $15.5 billion and anticipate being profitable in the second quarter.”

A representative for Carnival said that the company plans to have its entire global fleet sailing by the end of the year, and has been working over the past 12 months to refinance its debt at more attractive rates.

AMC didn’t respond to a request seeking comment.

One name no longer on the list is Exxon Mobil Corp., one of the biggest beneficiaries of rising oil prices and widening fuel margins. Booming profits have allowed the energy giant to pare down debt to $48 billion, from roughly $70 billion at the end of 2020.

A representative for Exxon didn’t respond to a request seeking comment.

From Page B3 high. Especially when they are explicitly saying they want to reduce demand. How is that consistent with keeping these firms alive?”

Raising cash in the leveraged loan market hasn’t been much easier amid concern monetary policy tightening could tip the U.S. into a recession. New loan starts of under $6 billion in May compare with more than $80 billion in January, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

What’s worse, companies that piled loans onto their balance sheets to ride out the pandemic now face the daunting prospect of higher interest rates eating a larger and larger share of their earnings.

The Fed is set to boost its target rate by 3 percentage points by the end of next year, according to Bloomberg Economics, driving up floating-rate benchmarks that underpin corporate loans.

Even the few speculative-grade firms that can raise funds are having to pay up to tap the market.

Cruise-ship operator Carnival sold $1 billion of eight-year notes that yield 10.5% earlier this month, a stark contrast to the $2 billion it was able to raise just seven months

prior at a rate of 6%.

At the same time, U.S. corporate profits fell in the first quarter by the most in almost two years as some companies struggled to pass along rising costs for materials, shipping and labor onto consumers.

Of the 50 largest zombies by outstanding debt, half reported lower operating margins in their latest results, data compiled by Bloomberg show.

The trend is only going to get worse, according to Viktor Hjort, global head of credit strategy at BNP Paribas SA. “Price increases have only been fairly recent,” Hjort said. “We’ll see that start to have an impact in the second and third quarter results.”

Stumbling along Zombie firms get their nickname because of how they tend to stumble along, weighed down by their debt burdens yet with sufficient access to capital markets to roll over their obligations.

They drag on overall productivity and economic growth because they can’t afford to invest in their businesses, and tie up assets that could be better used by stronger players.

While the exact criteria market experts use can vary, many economists consider zombies to have interest-coverage ratios below one

‘More zombies’ Any significant uptick in bankruptcies will make it more difficult for the Fed to engineer a so-called soft landing that allows the U.S. to avoid a recession, according to Vincent Reinhart, chief economist at Dreyfus and Mellon.

“You worry that the mechanism of financial fragility generally, zombie firms in particular, are an accelerant to what the Fed does,” Reinhart said.

“As rates rise it pushes more of those firms into distress, and amplifies the tightening by the Fed of financial conditions and credit availability.”

Equity investors may already be awakening to such risks. Zombie firms in the Russell 3000 have plunged 36% over the past year on average, versus just 4.3% for the broader gauge, data compiled by Bloomberg show.

Still, even as some zombies end up in bankruptcy, effectively killing them, new ones will emerge, as inflation pushes more companies into distress. The number of living-dead companies can stay close to current levels or even rise for some time, according to Noel Hebert, direct of credit research at Bloomberg Intelligence.

“The combination of interest-rate hikes and inflation will produce more zombies,” Hebert said. “By year-end, we’ll have more.”

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-22-898897-BF. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an "eligible tenant buyer," you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an "eligible bidder," you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 800-280-2832, or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-22-898897-BF to find the date on which the trustee's sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee.

Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee's sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee's sale. If you think you may qualify as an "eligible tenant buyer" or "eligible bidder," you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein.

If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary's Agent, or the Beneficiary's Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right's against the real property only.

be taking over for me, around to talk to has helped immeasurably.

I’m grateful to those who saw enough in me – or were desperate to fill a position – that they took a chance on me: Bill Current with the Deseret News Utah County Bureau; Mark Derry with the Gilroy Dispatch; Fred Guzman with the Morgan Hill Times; Mark Paxton with the Hollister Freelance; Hub Smith with the Camarillo Daily News; and Brad Stanhope with the Daily Republic.

As the old saying goes, “Join the Daily Republic and see a big chunk of Northern California,” That turned out to be 60 different cities and towns, from as large as San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose to as small as Lake of the Pines, Winters and Oakdale; from Redding to the north, Cerritos to the south, Merced to the east and Windsor to the west.

It was a blast hopping in my beat-up Geo Prizm to cover events big or small, including the Suisun American Little League 9- and10-year-old All-Stars in the Northern California finals in Foster City.

It was also a blast doing features on athletes, coaches and teams, a favorite being one I wrote in 1996 on the 1936 Armijo High football team, which went 8-0-1 and won a section championship. I was able to track down a half dozen or so former players and was able to reunite them with former coach Buck Bailey, who was in his 90s and living in a retirement home in Woodland.

As I’ve said in previous columns, I’m a sportswriter because of my parents. My mom idolized literary giants and loved to read. She never got a chance to go to college but passed on her love of good writing.

My dad was starting fullback/linebacker on a high school football team that was “undefeated, untied, unscored upon and uninvited” until its final game of the season.

Any hopes of a college career evaporated when he joined the U.S. Army at the end of World War II, but he passed on his love for sports.

I did the math and on this. My last day with the Daily Republic, I’m exactly the same age – to the day – as my dad when he died of cancer in 1991. That night I missed Fairfield’s football game with Will C. Wood, the only game I remember missing in the 1990s.

On the fifth anniversary of his passing, Fairfield trailed Vacaville 17-0 at halftime before scoring 34 unanswered points – the bulk coming on four Jared Biggs TD passes to Shaylon Reed – to pull out a 34-17 victory.

A very emotional evening indeed.

Of all the great moments I experienced at the DR, that’s the one that still brings tears to my eyes when I look back. Recalling others brings a smile.

Thanks to the coaches and scorekeepers for getting us results, athletic directors for getting us schedules and you, the readers, for reading, for telling me when I got it wrong and, every now and then, letting me know when I got it right.

I’ll miss you all.
