FAIRFIELD — The Solano County Board of Supervisors approved a record $1.26 billion budget Thursday for the 2021-22 fiscal year.

The general fund is $325.61 million, an 8.7% increase over the 2020-21 adopted budget. The overall budget is up 5.2%.

Part of the general fund budget is an increase from $5,000 to $10,000 that each of the supervisors will have to give to community organizations and causes. add it iona l T he $25,000 requested by

Supervisor Erin Hannigan will come from funds that were going to be placed in a retirement pension plan reserve.

The budget does not yet include the $86.9 million in American Rescue Plan funding the county is getting from the federal government.

“It will be brought back to the board in a number of ways . . . and will be included in the budget then,” said Ian Goldberg, the county budget officer.

County to explore moving Family Justice Center out of DA’s Office Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIR F IELD — Solano County Supervisor Jim Spering called “disturbing” the recent 2020-21 civil grand jury report on the Family Justice Center.

Spering, during the budget hearing Thursday, asked that the $721,000 in general fund contributions to the center be separated and managed in part by County Administrator Birgitta Corsello.

It is not fiscal mis-

management that has raised Spering’s concerns, but rather the grand jury report’s conclusion that the center “is not meeting” its mission, and that the Board of Supervisors should initiate a study to determine if the center should be transferred from the District Attorney’s Office to the Department of Health and Social Services.

“We have all read the grand jury report and have received letters of concern,” Spering said See County, Page A9

FAIRFIELD — Five generations gathered Tuesday to mark the 102nd birthday of Fairfield resident Marie Florence (Freitas) Brown.

Brown entered the world June 21, 1919, in Turlock. She had two brothers and two sisters, who all died before reaching the century mark.

Known for a ready smile and gentle disposition, Brown did break one rule on her birthday.

She credits her longevity to no liquor and no smoking and very little sugar. She enjoyed a piece of cake at her celebration with about a dozen in attendance.

Brown marked her 100th See Birthday, Page A9

The day the Red Top Restaurant burned to the ground in 1981

F Jessica Griffin/The Philadelphia Inquirer/TNS file (2019)

Gene Dykes, shown training near his Bala Cynwyd home in 2019, broke his age-group record this week at the USATF 50-kilometer road race in East Islip, NY.

‘Ultrageezer’ breaks 50k world record for 70-plus age group Tribune Content Agency PHILADELPHIA — Gene Dykes has done it again.

At 73, the runner from Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, shattered the 50-kilometer world record for his age group on Sunday, posting a time of 3 hours, 56 minutes, and 43 seconds.

That time was more than 19 minutes faster than the old record for that distance (just a shade over 31 miles). He maintained an average pace of 7:37 per mile — faster than most people can run for just one mile, let alone 31 in a row.

And, as usual, the selfdescribed “Ultrageezer” did it with good humor.

“It’s good to see I haven’t gotten old,” he told Runners World.

At 70, he broke three hours in the marathon Dykes set the 50-kilometer record at a USA Track & Field event in East Islip, N.Y., on June 13. The old mark of 4:15:55 was set by Germany’s Wilhelm Hofmann in 1997.

Dykes already holds the unofficial world record for the marathon in his age group, having run 2:54:23 in Jacksonville, Fla., in December 2018. That race was not

sanctioned by USATF, so he plans to try again for the official title in October at the London Marathon, he told Canadian Running magazine.

The retired computer programmer’s exploits are so unusual that researchers subjected him to a battery of physical tests for a 2019 article in the New England Journal of Medicine.

They found his oxygen uptake was “exceptional” for his age, but said that trait alone was not enough to explain his success.

In a 2019 Inquirer profile, Dykes gave a simple answer when asked for his secret: “I just run.”

In an interview with Canadian Running magazine after the 50-kilometer event, he also credited Philadelphia running coach John Goldthorp, calling him a “miracle worker.”

Dykes said he was not yet in top marathon shape. To set the record, he will have to run nearly a minute per mile faster than he did in the 50-kilometer race. He seems up for the challenge.

“Don’t be afraid of getting old,” he told the magazine. “Don’t be afraid to try new things in running. Just enjoy it, and get out there and do it.”

The Red Top Restaurant and dairy that burned in an accidental fire in 1981.

That all ended Saturday, June 20, 1981.

On that fateful day, a welder severed a highpressure hydraulic line, sparking a fire. It soon became an inferno with flames leaping 30 feet in the air. Firefighters from Cordelia, Suisun City, Fairfield, Vallejo, Mare Island and American Canyon battled the blaze and were successful in keeping it away from toxic chemical storage tanks in the dairy processing plant. Seven people were hurt and the restaurant burned to the ground. The damage was estimated to be about $8 million (more than $23 million in 2021 dollars).

There is never a good time for a lucrative landmark business to be lost, but the timing of Red Top Restaurant’s fiery demise was especially brutal. It had just been bought by a joint venture formed between Raley’s, Bel Air and Save Mart grocery stores and been in operation for less than three weeks when the blaze claimed it.

The dairy was rebuilt and reopened in 1983, but the new roof was blue, there was no restaurant

and it was never the same.

Locals left with just memories of Red Top milkshakes and more shared about the eatery: Dan Monez: When I worked for the Solano Sheriff’s Office (19731984), the only places open for graveyard shift deputies to eat or grab a cup of coffee were the Red Top, the Cordelia Truck Stop, and the Brigadoon Restaurant in Vacaville. Red Top was my favorite!

Tricia Bracy: I remember the cow syrup dispensers. I miss that place. Damn welders!

Denise Spielman: I used to work there. I had just gotten home from my shift the day it burned down. I drove right back and it was unbelievable.

Linda Wilson: My husband was a bus boy there . . . until he ate the ears off of an ice cream bunny.

Billy Gear: All the chocolate milk you could drink for a quarter = gastric regret.

Covid-19 still a front-burner issue for Solano County Public Health Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The Solano County Public Health Division has budgeted $10.95 million for Covid-related expenditures for the 2021-22 fiscal year and expects to spend $9.6 million in 2022-23.

The 2021-22 figure includes $4.4 million in state funding carried over from the current fiscal year that ends June 30, as the county this year shifted from federal CARES Act support to the Epidemiology & Laboratory Capacity stream from the state, Dr. Bela Matyas said in a presentation Tuesday to the Board of Supervisors.

In 2020-21, the county has spent $5.61 million in state funding on top of the more than $9 million in CARES Act funds, Public Health documents state.

The overall cost to the county, according to the most updated accounting, is $56.1 million, all of which

Additionally, the county supervisors are trying to figure out how to spend close to $87 million from the federal American Rescue Plan, which was created to help with the Covid-19 response but has a lot of spending flexibility.

A discussion on that topic, also Tuesday, raised questions and concerns by some of the board members about the administration’s approach. Supervisor Jim Spering felt the county was prioritizing its own needs ahead of public aid.

How much of that funding also could support Public Health programs is uncertain.

Medic Ambulance personnel and Fairfield firefighter-paramedics transported Hughes to

The release also states that ICU and specialized staff were able to help Hughes regained consciousness a few days later. He is awake, alert and able to verbally com-

municate with his family, friends and hospital staff, the release continues.

large numbers of personnel. We have had to redirect large numbers of staff from all over the county. We’ve had to purchase laboratory equipment, lots of lab support for the testing; IT equipment; IT vendor support for all the systems the state had required us to connect to; testing supplies and vaccination support,” Matyas said.

“And when you look at all of that, it has been a multimillion endeavor in calendar years 2020, 2021 and . . . going into 2022 and 2023,” he said.

Matyas said in a phone interview Wednesday that the funding from the state and federal governments have been adequate to cover the Public Health’s costs.

“And all of what I’m talking about is in addition to the free vaccinations and testing from the state,” Matyas said. “And when I say no cost, I mean to the county and not to the taxpayers because it’s all taxpayer money.”

The real impact on Public Health is what has not been able to get done as more and more personnel are focused on the pandemic response.

Matyas said the economic lockdown resulted in millions of dollars lost to the county through the 1991 Realign- matyas ment calculations, which Public Health relies upon heavily.

“We have had a substantial impact on our ability to do the usual business of Public Health,” Matyas said to the board.

Many of those programs are linked to community outreach, but also include the oral health program, chronic disease prevention, substance abuse prevention, as well as nutrition and obesity prevention. Services to Solano Community College stopped, and the

district nursing program was greatly curtailed.

Matyas said the service losses and cutbacks were due to lost revenue as well as having to shift staff in those programs to help with the pandemic response.

He said more than 100 Public Health staff members were redirected to the effort, as well as dozens of staff from other departments.

Personal use of fireworks illegal in Vacaville Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

VACAVILLE — All personal use of fireworks, including those designated as “safe and sane,” are illegal in the city and posters have been put up throughout town noting a zero-tolerance policy featuring the city, fire and police logos.

The city notes that in 2015 more than 300 acres were burned in the hills around Lagoon Valley due to a fire that was started by fireworks.

Ve g e t a t i o n is extremely dry once again.

“With expected hot temperatures and the vegetation as dry as it is right now, fireworks can easily start a big fire that can end up with lots of property damaged and people hurt,” Vacaville Fire Chief Kris Concepcion said. “Please

celebrate a safe Fourth of July by attending the professional fireworks show at Andrews Park.”

The Andrews Park firework can be seen at vantage points throughout the city. The first Creekwalk Concert Series will also occur July 4 with an opportunity to listen to music and be near the park for the perfect sightline.

The Project 4 Band will play a selection of soul, pop and R&B music.

The concert is free with doors opening at 5 p.m. and music to begin at 6:30 p.m. Fireworks will follow at dusk.

Personal belongings will not be allowed to save seats in advance.

No masks are required for those fully vaccinated against the novel coronavirus that causes Covid-19.

Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore is located on Commerce Court in Fairfield.

Habitat’s ReStore victim of several thefts, vandalism Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIR F IELD — Solano-Napa Habitat for Humanity’s popular home improvement business in Fairfield, ReStore, has been burglarized several times in the past few months.

Thefts include four catalytic converters and a battery removed from the store’s donation trucks, as well as a store safe and retail merchandise. The store was also vandalized twice with broken windows and additional merchandise stolen.

Damages and financial losses from these incidents

total more than $14,000.

“ReStore exists to raise funds to support our efforts to build local affordable housing,” ReStore Manager Mike Glancy said in a press release. “Our staff and volunteers work very hard to make our store a success, so it is especially hard on them when thefts like these occur.”

Habitat’s Fairfield ReStore celebrates its 10th anniversary this year and is emerging from the pandemic.

Volunteers are now welcome to return and help operate the store.

Solano-Napa Habitat for Humanity earlier this year

finished its second residence for veterans, this one in Rio Vista, which permanently houses six formerly homeless veterans.

The organization has also secured land from the Fairfield Housing Authority and the three single-family homes project proposed for the property will be made possible by funding from Solano County.

“Although these recent thefts at our ReStore can feel discouraging for our staff and volunteers, we also understand these are difficult times for many people,” Executive Director Andrew Killeen said in the press release. “We are

grateful for the incredible support of our Habitat community who will no doubt step up and help us continue to build homes for local, deserving families. These incidents help underscore the importance of our mission and how critical it is that people have access to safe, affordable places to live and thrive as contributing members of our communities.”

Your solar year brings numerous opportunities to play these cards, parlaying yourself into a higher position or a sweeter one, scooping up the resources to help your loved ones and the ideas to rock your world.

In today’s deal, how should South plan the play in four spades? West leads the heart jack, East wins with his ace and returns the heart four, ruffed on the board.

In the auction, South was almost relieved when East overcalled two hearts, because South could then pass.

Otherwise, he was going to have to do something slightly misdescriptive.

Then, when West jumped preemptively to four hearts, North bid four spades, hoping for the best. (Note that if East-West had gone on to five hearts, it would have cost 500 for doubled and down three.)

The original declarer immediately played a spade to his queen. However, West won with the king, and East later took two more trump tricks for down one.

South turned to East. “You overcalled every light with only the APPEARANCES CAN spade jack and heart ace-queen.”

“Not true,” replied East. “I have the BE DECEPTIVE heart king in here somewhere.”

“It’s real nostalgic,” Sean said of the Hit-Boyproduced track, which he said was recorded two years ago. “It really takes me back to that time period, that 2010, 2011 moment in my life.”

“Finally Famous” was released on June 28, 2011. The 12-track album (16 tracks on the deluxe edition) featured collaborations with Chris Brown (“My Last”), Kanye West (“Marvin & Chardonnay”), John Legend (“Memories (Part II)”) and more, and it debuted at No. 3 on Billboard’s Top 200 albums chart.

“This is the album that changed everything for me,” Sean said. “It took me from being a mixtape artist to going city to city and hearing myself on the radio.”

California’s pro-housing forces win big

C

alifornia’s housing crisis is a multiple-front guerrilla war, pitting those who want to lower legal and political barriers to construction against those who see new developments as threats to the environment and/ or the ambience of their neighborhoods.

The conflict is waged in the Legislature, in the state housing bureaucracy, in city councils, in the courts and, increasingly, at the ballot box. Every new offensive assault by pro-housing forces meets stout resistance by defenders of the status quo and over time, it’s been something of a stalemate.

Housing construcDan Walters tion remains well below the levels needed to close the gap between supply and demand, resulting in everrising rents and home prices, ever-increasing angst for Californians priced out of the market and an adverse effect on the economy as workers migrate to more affordable communities elsewhere.

The Housing Crisis Act of 2019 was a major thrust by the pro-housing faction. Senate Bill 330 was aimed at blocking local government policies, such as restrictive zoning, caps on building permits or unworkable design standards that limit new housing developments.

Not surprisingly, the legislation was opposed by local government officials as undermining their historic power to shape the tenor of their communities through controls on land use. However, it was passed by strong majorities in both legislative houses and signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom, who had promised to meet the housing crisis head-on.

While the legislation limited the authority of local government officials, it may turn out to be a groundbreaking limit on the power of local voters as well.

The legislation’s passage more or less coincided with the Oceanside City Council’s approval of a 585-home subdivision called North River Farms, which bills itself as a country village integrated with small-scale agriculture. The council rezoned land to make the project feasible.

Despite its bucolic nature, North River Farms was opposed by existing residents of the area and some environmental groups.

They launched a recall campaign against one of the council members who voted for the project and eventually placed a measure on the 2020 ballot to overturn the council’s decision, which was passed by a 2-1 margin of the city’s voters.

Thereupon, the project’s developer, sued to overturn the referendum, alleging that it violated the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 and last month, Superior Court Judge Richard Whitney declared that the new law did apply to the referendum.

In overturning the election results, Whitney said SB 330’s clear aim was to “maximize the development of housing” by overriding any local action or policy that attempts to limit construction.

Whitney’s ruling will no doubt face appeals to higher courts and could collide with a 2017 state Supreme Court decree, in a case involving taxation, that ballot measures are not subject to the same limits applied to local governments.

Writing the 5-2 majority opinion, Supreme Court Justice Mariano-Florentino Cuéllar declared, “Multiple provisions of the state constitution explicitly constrain the power of local governments to raise taxes. But we will not lightly apply such restrictions on local governments to voter initiatives.”

There is also a larger issue posed by the Oceanside case – whether zoning changes are legislative acts subject to referendum or merely administrative actions that are exempt from such challenges. Oregon, for instance, has flatly prohibited the use of referenda to oppose zoning changes.

The Oceanside case is not an isolated example of employing referenda to block projects. If Whitney is upheld, it will be a major victory for pro-housing forces by eliminating one arrow in the quiver of those who resist new development.

In October 1990, President George H.W. Bush, the second son of ol’ Prescott, declared the result of that revolution, the “Dwight D. Eisenhower System of Interstate and Defense Highways.”

Just like in 1944, today there is little disagreement about the need for the highway system to be overhauled and advanced. But the political angst seems far more party driven, or better stated, blockaded.

So here’s a thought: Pass the infrastructure bill with a provision that allows for each of the state’s legislatures to give the money back. Maybe those dollars can be earmarked for more palatable programs for those states: defense, debt reduction, parks, golf junkets, whatever.

But first thing is first, we need to make June 29 a national holiday.

Unfortunately, for this writer-type commuter-type, my boss is struggling to discover the Christopher Columbus value in this holiday idea. Editors, reporters – it’s like they can’t work together at all.

Budget From Page One by the county.

The largest revenue source to the county is the $492 million Solano receives from the federal and state governments, $313.3 million of which comes from the state.

There is $225 million from tax sources such as property and sales taxes.

It took less than three hours to conclude the hearing, which was the first in-person board meeting since Jan. 5 but attracted just one member from the public who spoke.

George Guynn Jr., of Suisun City, offered a tone of commendation in his remarks, but also told the supervisors that they should cut costs where they can now if only for the unpredictability of the future.

He specifically noted wildfires and urged the board to take whatever steps necessary to clear potential vegetation and other wildland fuels and other preventive measures.

Pelosi to name select committee to probe County Jan. 6 Capitol riot From Page One

Tribune Content Agency House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she will create a select committee to investigate the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol after Republicans blocked naming an independent commission to conduct the probe.

Pelosi said that with little chance of establishing an independent inquiry, she would act to form the new panel of lawmakers to investigate the causes of the attack by a mob of former President Donald Trump’s supporters and what can be done to prevent such future violence.

“January 6 was a day of darkness for our country,” Pelosi said Thursday at a news conference. “Our temple of democracy was attacked.”

Multiple House and Senate committees have been probing the intelli-

gence and security failings on Jan. 6 that allowed the mob to breach the Capitol building and interrupt Congress’s certification of the Electoral College results of the 2020 presidential election.

House Democrats impeached Trump on charges of inciting the mob, but he was acquitted by the Senate after he left office.

The House passed legislation to create an independent, bipartisan commission to investigate the riot, modeled on the panel that led the inquiry into the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. But the bill fell short of the 60 votes needed to advance in the Senate, with Trump and Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell rallying most Republicans to oppose the probe.

Spering said he does not want anyone to lose their job or for operations to be slowed in any way, but said he feels an obligation to “the victims” the center serves to look into the matter.

“You deal with the employees, I’m concerned about t h e spering victims,” Spering told Corsello.

The justice center “has always worked to ensure the essential services are rendered, such as domestic violence advocacy, court accompaniment, restraining orders, crisis intervention, safety planning and basic needs assistance,” the response to the report signed by District Attorney Krishna Abrams and center Director Angel Aguilar states.

Abrams said in an interview after the hearing – at which she appeared ready to defend the center but was not called on to speak – that her office is the logical place for the center.

Moreover, she noted that Gerald Huber, the director of Health and Social Services, opposes the move to

Abrams said had she been allowed to speak at the hearing, she and her staff would have let the board know what the center has accomplished.

That, Aguilar noted in the interview, was responding to 1,019 walk-in clients in 2020 and providing 6,365 service needs to those individuals. That was up from 660 clients in 2019, providing 2,176 service needs.

Aguilar said the 2021 numbers are tracking with 2020.

Mor eover, Abrams said she believes the grand jury report is filled with inaccuracies, including space concerns, without taking note of plans in the works right now to add two more offices within the Union Avenue facility.

Also, the grand jury stated the center is not well-known to the public and those who might need its services, a statement Aguilar said is refuted by the number of clients being served.

Abrams also said that because the victims the center sees often are victims in criminal cases, it is the District Attorney’s Office that is the “most logical” department to oversee the center.

Abrams also wondered where the concern was from Spering or the board after a previous grand jury report that discussed many of the same issues.

Jason Aguirre, the senior staff analyst, said the center has added several layers of grant funding over the past six years, and is part of a statewide network dealing with human trafficking, as well as part of a four-county Bay Area collaboration.

Of the 24 counties in the state that have family justice centers, 14 are run by the counties. Most of the others are run by nonprofits, a model Abrams said she could not support in Solano.

Californians ready to hit the road for Fourth of July Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIR F IELD — Fourth of July travel is expected to return to preCovid levels.

In fact, according to a statement released by AAA Northern California, the 2021 holiday is expected to have the second-highest Independence Day travel volume on record.

Only 2019, with 48.9 million travelers, would be higher if the forecast of 47.7 million travelers this year is correct.

The 2021 travel forecast is for July 1-5.

“We saw strong demand for travel around Memorial Day and the kickoff of summer, and all indications now point to a busy Independence Day with travel in full swing this summer,” Sergio Avila, a AAA Northern California spokesman, said in the statement.

The vast majority of travelers will be on the road, with an expected 43.6 million people driving to their destinations. Another 3.5 million are expected to fly. Train, bus and other transportation options are expected to attract 620,000 travelers, AAA Northern California reported.

The travel forecast in California is for 5.4 million travelers, of whom 4.6 million will be driving, 669,314 will be flying and 73,203 will be taking other forms of transit.

“While AAA found average airfares have declined 2% compared to last Independence Day, travelers can expect to find higher prices for hotels and car rentals as demand climbs,” AAA Northern California noted in the statement.

Know before you go Updated guidance: Some local and state travel restrictions may still remain in place.

Travelers who are not vaccinated should continue to physically distance, wear a mask and get tested for Covid-19 before and after travel. Regardless of vaccination status, masks are required on planes, buses, trains, airplanes and other forms of public transportation traveling into, within or out of the United States.

Plan ahead: Exercise caution while traveling.

Researching your destinations has never been more important.

Be prepared: Drivers should ensure their vehicles are road-ready before embarking on a road trip. AAA expects to rescue more than 460,000 stranded motorists at the roadside this Fourth of July holiday weekend.

Avoid traffic: Avoid travel the afternoons of July 1 and July 2, along with midday July 5 as nationwide traffic volumes are expected to increase by 15% for the holiday.

Available resources: Visit AAA’s Covid-19 Travel Restrictions Map for local travel information. Use TripTik. AAA.com to plan your road trip and help determine which rest stops, gas stations, restaurants and hotels are open along your route. Refer to the new AAA Digital TourBook guides at TourBook.

“Higher gas prices also won’t deter travelers as more than 91% of holiday travel will be by car.”

First responder fee meets with opposition SUISUN CITY — A proposal for a first responder fee was continued to this week to the next City Council meeting.

The council did take public comments on the topic at Tuesday’s meeting.

A handful of people spoke out against the idea. There were also some questions about how the billing would be done.

Former Police Chief Tom Alder questioned how someone with no money would be billed.

“I am totally opposed to this,” he said, adding a personal experience of calling for help and having the ambulance arrive and have him out the door before the Fire Department showed up.

“You want me to pay $310 for that,” he said. “Come on, get a life.”

“I don’t think Suisun City needs to do this,” said resident Donna LeBlanc. “We paid for the Fire Department to get medical training and now we are asked to pay more.”

‘Big Messy Art Day’ on calendar at library SUISUN CITY — A “Big Messy Art Day” is scheduled from 10 a.m. to noon Wednesday at the Suisun City Library.

The library is offering all the supplies for free and just asking participants to “bring the creativity.” Every member of the family, ages 6 and older, is encouraged to “create and take their masterpieces home,” according to a press release.

Suisun City Library is located at 601 Pintail Drive.

‘We have a deal’ Biden, lawmakers reach tentative bipartisan infrastructure agreement Tribune Content Agency

Amy Beth Bennett/Sun Sentinel/TNS

Part of the 12-story oceanfront Champlain Towers South Condo collapsed around 2 a.m. Thursday.

99 people unaccounted for in condo tower collapse Tribune Content Agency SURFSIDE, Fla. — A total of 99 people remained unaccounted for Thursday evening after the collapse of a condo tower near Miami Beach, as rescue workers prepared to extend the search for survivors into the night.

It’s unknown how many of the 99 are dead and how many might not have been inside Champlain Towers South Condo at the time.

As rescuers searched the rubble late in the afternoon, lights to illuminate the scene arrived on a flatbed truck.

The missing include at least 34 Jewish people, in a part of the Miami coast that’s within walking distance of five synagogues. It includes nine Argentines, according to the Argentine Consulate in Miami.

It includes six citizens of Paraguay, including siblings of that country’s first lady, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Paraguay.

A n x iou s fa m i ly members crowded into a community center near the collapsed condo tower in the town of Surfside on Thursday afternoon, as rescue efforts continued.

But authorities cautioned that the official death toll of one was likely to climb.

“We just toured around the complex to be able to see, and the TV doesn’t do it justice,” Gov. Ron DeSantis said. “I mean it is really, really traumatic to see the collapse of a massive structure like that.”

DeSantis issued a state of emergency for MiamiDade County on Thursday evening, about an hour after Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Cava signed a local state of emergency declaration and urged in a tweet for the governor to do the same.

In a short video clip posted to social media just after 6:30 p.m. Eastern time, DeSantis said those who live in the building will not be going back.

“They’re going to need housing, they’re going to need arrangements for the foreseeable future,” DeSantis said in the video.

The emergency declaration will open up the ability of federal assistance for those who are displaced, DeSantis said.

Rescuers with search dogs picked through the rubble, their work hampered by stormy weather and a fire that broke out in the intact part of the building. As they worked, family members gathered at the Surfside Community Center, where they were organized by the floor on which their relatives lived.

“We’re just trying to find my cousin,” said Hildelisa Gonzalez, clutching a photo of her cousin Edgar, as she walked into

Rubble is piled high after the partial collapse of the 12-story Champlain Towers South condo building in Surfside, Florida, Thursday. It is unknown at this time how many people were injured as search-and-rescue effort continues with rescue crews from across Miami-Dade and Broward counties. the community center. “We know they recovered his daughter and his wife. But we have no word on him.

Their floor got hit hard.”

T he tower at 8777 Collins Ave. collapsed around 1:30 a.m. A surveillance video showed the building falling to the ground in seconds, with the center going down first and the side sagging on top of it, sending up huge clouds of dust.

“I could hear somebody yelling, screaming,” Nicholas Balboa told CNN. “I could hear by his voice it was a little boy. I saw an arm sticking out of the wreckage.” He and the other person tried to climb up, but it was “too heavy” with too much rebar.

He said the boy was screaming, “Don’t leave me! Don’t leave me!”

Balboa said he called over police, who got firefighters over to pull him out.

Jennifer Carr was asleep in a neighboring building when she was awakened by a loud boom that shook her room, she told The Associated Press.

The building’s fire alarms went off, and she and her family went outside and saw the collapse.

“It was devastation,” Carr said. “People were running and screaming.”

About 300 people were gathered at the family reunification site, alongside a smattering of public officials and volunteers providing food and other services.

At the door, a woman wrote down the names of the missing as well as the name of the loved ones waiting for them, feeding them into a database.

Sabrina Campbell has friends that live on the sixth floor whom she tried to call.

“No response,” she said.

“It’s been rough,” she said. “I’m still pursuing that they are alive.

Hopefully they’re underneath there safe.”

The search for the cause

of an almost unheard-of catastrophe has already begun. One possible cause emerged from research by a scientist at Florida International University, who found the building has been sinking about 2 millimeters a year since the 1990s, according to USA Today.

Such sinking can crack walls or cause foundations to shift, which he said could have led to the collapse, said Shimon Wdowinski, a professor in FIU’s Department of Earth and Environment. The building was mentioned as part of a larger study of sinking lands in the area.

When he heard the news he immediately knew which building was involved, he said. “I looked at this morning and said ‘Oh my god.’ We did detect that,” he said.

Surfside Mayor Charles Burkett said roof work was taking place at the building but he doubted it caused the disaster.

“Certainly, that doesn’t seem like it would be the issue that would have caused it,” he said, according to WSVN-TV. “Some of the residents at the community center have complained to me that the new building that went up to the south used to shake the building when they were putting the pilings in. But I think that we need to look very hard at what happened there and find out because buildings just don’t fall down like this.”

Rescue workers had to amputate one woman’s leg to get her out, Frank Rollason, Miami-Dade emergency management director, told the Miami Herald.

President Joe Biden said Thursday that he was ready to deploy federal resources but couldn’t do so until DeSantis asked.

“I say to the people of Florida, whatever help you want, the federal government can provide, we’re waiting,” he said at the White House. “Just ask us.”

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden and a bipartisan group of senators agreed on a nearly $1 trillion infrastructure plan Thursday, the culmination of months of negotiation over a proposal to fortify the nation’s roads, bridges and broadband internet access.

“We have a deal,” Biden said, standing with the 10 senators in the West Wing driveway after their 30-minute Oval Office meeting. “They’ve given me their word,” he said of the group of five Republicans and five Democrats. “Where I come from that’s good enough for me.”

It’s a big step forward, and validation for the Senate negotiators and a president determined to show that working across the political aisle is still possible in such a partisan era. But, given the deep divide in Washington and Democrats’ thin congressional majorities, securing the votes to pass a bipartisan package won’t be easy.

The meeting came after the group of senators reached a tentative agreement with White House aides Wednesday evening following two days of meetings on Capitol Hill.

“We made serious compromises on both ends,” Biden said, acknowledging that Republicans weren’t going to back the investments in “human infrastructure” he’s

called for. Biden said he would push those in a separate package that would require support from every Democratic senator. “We’ll see what happens in the reconciliation bill and the budget process.”

The plan calls for nearly $600 billion in new spending, with the rest of the funds coming from existing pots of money.

The deal, if enacted, would mark the first major bipartisan legislative accomplishment for Biden, who campaigned on his ability to work across the aisle with Republicans. This agreement would cover only a fraction of what Biden originally called for in his $4 trillion proposal to invest in “hard” infrastructure of roads and bridges, alongside “human” infrastructure, such as child care and elder care programs.

The plan calls for $109 billion for road and bridge projects; $7.5 billion to build a new network of electric vehicle-charging stations; $55 billion to replace all lead pipes and upgrade water infrastructure; and $66 billion in rail line expansion.

Calling the investments “long overdue,” Biden framed the breakthrough as a strong signal to the rest of the world that in the global economic competition with autocracies like China, “democracies can deliver.”

James-Michael Johnson is putting a life in football helmets deep on the back burner for another kind of helmet needed for the front lines of fire, that of the Sacramento Fire Department.

Johnson had stellar careers on the field for

Rodriguez High School and the University of Nevada. He was able to turn that into a four-year career in the NFL where

he played in a total of 48 games with the Cleveland Browns (2012), Kansas City Chiefs (201314), and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Jacksonville Jaguars and Miami Dolphins (2015).

The Chiefs chose not to bring Johnson back in 2015 and he wound up playing for three different teams, getting into one game with Tampa Bay, two with Jacksonville and three with the Dolphins. He also signed with the Detroit Lions but was waived before playing in any games.

In 48 game appearances, Johnson was able to record 106 tackles (80 solo, 26 assists), one sack, one quarterback hit, two pass defends and two forced fumbles. It See Johnson, Page B3

fter learning that he’ll pick seventh and 14th in July’s NBA draft, Warriors general manager Bob Myers offered some variation of the same answer to a wide range of questions about draft possibilities: “I don’t know.”

Who can blame him? With five weeks until decision day, Myers is still in the information-gathering stage. Here is a breakdown of the Warriors’ options with the seventh and 14th selections:

Option 1: Trade picks for a proven player The Warriors are probably at least one big difference-maker away from title contention next season. Unfortunately for them, Minnesota’s top-three-protected 2021 pick conveyed to them at No. 7 – not in the top five.

It’ll be tough for the Warriors to put together an offer for an All-Star-level player, given that there is a major drop-off in the market value for prospects after

the first five or six picks. That hardly means that Golden State can’t get a proven rotation player.

If the Warriors pair the Nos. 7 and 14 picks with someone such as Damion Lee or Eric Paschall, they could give themselves a chance at someone the caliber of Utah’s Joe Ingles or Jordan Clarkson. Such a possibility would fit Golden State’s win-now timeline and give it an unquestioned sixth man.

But if that’s not feasible, the Warriors might try to acquire a slightly lower-level player such as See W’s, Page B2

It’s almost go time for Robyn Stevens and Nick Christie.

The race walkers with Solano County ties will attempt to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics at the United States Olympic Track and Field Trials in Springfield, Oregon, on Saturday.

The men’s 20-kilometer race is set to go off at 7 a.m. and the women’s 20k race at 7:01 a.m.

Stevens, the reigning U.S. women’s 50k and 35k champion has the best chance among the women’s competitors to make the 60-athlete Olympic field, according to DyeStat.com, ranking 53rd in the World Rankings quota. The Olympic standard is 1 hour, 31 minutes, with Stevens having turned in a 20k time of 1:33.34 in 2019.

Christie is the reigning U.S. men’s

50k champion and, per DyeStat.com, is the favorite in Saturday’s race, though the Olympic standard of 1:21.00 is more than three minutes faster than his previous best.

According to one area of nbcsports.com, the race will be shown on NBCSN, though another area of the same website says the network will be covering the first stage of the Tour de France at that time. The races will also be streamed at NBCOlympics.com.

Chris Bassitt hurls seven strong innings as A’s beat Rangers to earn series split Tribune Content Agency ARLINGTON, Texas — There were questions this spring of how baseball’s return to a 162-game season might change teams’ use of pitchers, especially starters, after they worked far fewer innings than usual during last year’s twomonth sprint.

To this point, at least, the A’s rotation has resisted any restraint.

Oakland leads the majors in innings pitched by starters. Chris Bassitt has led that charge. The righthander worked seven innings as the A’s won 5-1 over the Rangers on Thursday. He left the game at 99 2/3 innings this season, most of any pitcher in the American League.

Bassit t continues to pace the starting staff with a steady hand. He has an eight-game winning streak and is unbeaten since April 6. The A’s are 12-4 this season when he takes the mound. Bassitt scattered five hits Thursday, all singles, and gave up one run. He logged 100-plus pitches for the fifth time this season and has worked seven or more innings in six of his past 10 outings.

“Every game I want it to be my game, as deep as I can go, as long as I can go,” Bassitt said.

Bay Bridge Series will put A’s and Giants’ depth on full display John Shea SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

T

he best baseball player in the Bay Area recalled his early big-league days as a backup, trying to impress his manager and front office while getting inconsistent playing time at first base and right field.

“It takes a special person to do that. I wasn’t the best at it when I was coming in off the bench,” said A’s first baseman Matt Olson,

ANALYSIS who’s enjoying a career season, hitting .302 and ranking fourth in the majors with 20 home runs.

“I really think that it’s one of the hardest things to do in the game, be able to stay locked in for four, five, six innings, and when you’re called on in a big situation, come in and put together a good at-bat.”

Olson is expected at first base Friday night at Oracle Park, where the A’s and Giants, who have

led their respective divisions for most of the season, will meet for the first time in 2021.

Beyond pitting two of the premier teams in the majors, the three-game series will mark the first time a Bay Area club will permit full-capacity crowds since the start of the pandemic and offers the first chance this year for either fan base to claim bragging rights.

While both teams have received solid contributions from their rotations and lineups and could use

bullpen additions before the July 30 trade deadline, a common theme is the depth on both sides of the bay, a major reason for each team’s firsthalf success.

The Giants, under baseball boss and former A’s exec Farhan Zaidi and second-year manager Gabe Kapler, have joined the A’s as an analytics-driven team and sometimes are more like the A’s than the A’s in terms of platooning and mixing and matching.

“We definitely do have

that, and it seems they have the roster that has the same kind of thing,” Olson said, referring to the Giants. “Good bench players are kind of driven from an analytic side. If organizations want to play matchups all year, you’ve got to have viable options to come in and play those matchups.

“It is important, especially with the amount we mix guys in and out and, say, bring in somebody midgame to face a lefty, and it takes a special person to do that.

We have a lot of guys who do that.”

Both teams do. The Giants’ depth has been a game-changing development. After four straight losing seasons, all the interchangeable parts have come together, giving the Giants the majors’ best record at 48-26.

The Giants use so many players that only Brandon Crawford and Mike Yastrzemski have enough See Series, Page B12

NFL scraps ‘one-helmet rule’ which will pave way for uniform change Tribune Content Agency Seahawks fans who have been eagerly hoping they might someday get to see Russell Wilson, DK Metcalf and the rest of the current generation of players wear throwback uniforms once worn by the likes of Dave Krieg and Steve Largent should soon get their wish.

As confirmed by the league itself, the NFL informed teams on Thursday that they can use two helmets for players beginning during the 2022 season, scrapping the “one-helmet rule’’ that was implemented in 2013 as a safety measure. That rule was instituted with the thought that players might be more at risk if they were switching back and forth between helmets and using them before they were properly broken in. Protocols will be put in place to make sure

W’s From Page B1 Cleveland’s Larry Nance Jr., Toronto’s Rodney Hood or Memphis’ Kyle Anderson. It would be a calculated risk. Though players are sure to be taken in the mid- to late lottery who will have better careers than Nance, Hood and Anderson, the Warriors might prefer to have more of a proven commodity.

As this past season illustrated, they can’t afford to waste much more time. Stephen Curry is 33; Klay Thompson – fresh off two years lost to injury – and Draymond Green are 31.

At least players like Nance, Hood and Anderson could slide into a clear rotation role. Even if the Warriors take an older prospect at seven or 14, they’d have to deal with some rookie mistakes.

Option 2: Move up in the draft The Warriors, like every other team, would love to have a top-five pick in this draft. Oklahoma State’s Cade Cunningham, USC’s Evan Mobley, Gonzaga’s Jalen Suggs, and G League Ignite’s Jalen Green and Jonathan Kuminga are all considered potential franchise cornerstones.

But given how prized those prospects are, it’ll be tricky for the Warriors to trade into the top five.

Packaging the seventh and 14th picks might not even be enough to move up to No. 5. To get a team in the top five to answer the phone, the Warriors might have to offer a package that includes an established rotation player – as well as their two lottery picks.

The franchise that See W’s, Page B3

Seattle Seahawks’ Quandre Diggs celebrates his second quarter interception with the Seahawks defensive unit against the Los Angeles Rams, Dec. 27, 2020. the second, or alternate, helmet is properly broken in and tested before being used in a game.

The one-helmet rule is why the Seahawks have not worn throwback uniforms, or those that the team wore from the franchise’s inception in 1976 for the next few decades. Those uniforms featured a silver helmet as opposed to the

current blue (a change made in 2002).

Repainting helmets during the season is not realistic, and the Seahawks did not want to wear throwback jerseys and not be able to complete the look with the proper helmet. Many teams, such as the Rams, are able to replicate their old helmets just by switching out logos.

In a tweet, the NFL stated that teams will have to inform the league by July 31, 2021 if they intend to use an alternate helmet for the 2022 season.

As stated in a memo that became public, teams will have to acquire an entire set of alternate color helmets for players that are to the exact specifications of their primary helmet. The helmets also must be worn in practice the week they will be used in a game to help assure they are fitting properly.

The league also was able to change the policy without taking a vote, though it’s been thought that few were against the switch. Tampa Bay coach Bruce Arians was a vocal proponent of allowing an alternate helmet so that the Bucs, who entered the NFL in 1976 the same year as the Seahawks, could also wear a throwback look featuring a white helmet.

DAILY REPUBLIC — Friday, June 25, 2021 B3

A’s: Scored in first inning of both wins From Page B1 have been done after six innings there.”

Bassitt started the seventh at 90 pitches. Jose Trevino lined a one-out single in an eightpitch at-bat. Jake Diekman warmed in the A’s bullpen. Melvin said Bassitt was facing his last hitter. Isiah KinerFalefa grounded Bassitt’s 104th pitch sharply up the middle. Shortstop Elvis Andrus made a sliding stop and a glove flip to second base to start a double play.

“It’s what a No. 1 guy does,” Melvin said. “Seven innings nowadays feels like nine from your starter . . . . But it’s what he set out to do. He wants to go out there and he wants to

take some pressure off the bullpen and pitch deep in games and have us use as few guys out of the bullpen as we possibly can.”

Diekman notched three strikeouts in a scoreless eighth. Lou Trivino worked the ninth and has not allowed a run in 10 outings in June – thanks in part to a highlight-reel catch by Tony Kemp on Andy Ibáñez’s one-out drive to the warning track.

Bassitt fired sinkers and sliders against a lineup with six right-handed batters. Bassitt said he unveiled a new pitch Thursday – scrapping his usual cutter in favor of a harder slider with a grip he used in 2014. He also threw the slower slider that has been so effective for him against right-

ies this year. The pitches varied in velocity from 72.8 mph to 84.4 mph.

“I think it’s going to be a really big pitch for me down the stretch,” Bassitt said.

Command wavered, but Bassitt stayed effective.

He issued three walks and hit a batter but dodged traffic. Texas’ run against him scored without a hit.

Bassitt threw a slider that clipped Eli White to open the second inning. White took third on a wild pitch and scored on a groundout. The Rangers loaded the bases with two outs in the fourth for Trevino, who singled twice against Bassitt in the game. This time, Bassitt induced a flyball to center.

The A’s split four games in Texas. They struck in

the first inning of both wins. Texas left-hander Kolby Allard faced seven batters in the first Thursday – six put pitches into play at 94.8 mph or higher off the bat. Four hits led to three runs. Ramón Laureano doubled in a run and Jed Lowrie capped the inning with an RBI single.

Lowrie entered Thursday in a 3-for-33 skid with one RBI in that span. He saw Allard again in the fourth and hit a changeup 433 feet for his sixth home run.

“I actually peeked at the exit velocity because I saw they were putting that up right away,” said Lowrie. “I haven’t played here much so I didn’t know whether it was going to go out or not. But I assumed it was once I saw the exit velocity.”

W’s: Have tough decisions to make From Page B2 might be most willing to talk is Cleveland, which owns the No. 3 pick. The Cavaliers have centered their rebuild on guards Collin Sexton and Darius Garland, but the two players who make the most sense at No. 3 – Suggs and Green – are also guards.

Perhaps the Warriors could entice Cleveland into giving up that pick for No. 7, No. 14 and someone like Jordan Poole. That would be a lot to offer, but Golden State might be willing if it meant bringing in a prospect the caliber of Suggs or Green.

The Warriors are quite high on both of those players, and the reasons are obvious. Suggs is a savvy point guard who could be a solid sixth man for Golden State next

season, with the potential to blossom into a perennial All-Star. Green – a Fresno native who attended prep school in Napa – boasts a rare blend of athleticism and skill that has earned him comparisons to Kobe Bryant.

Option 3: Keep both picks Warriors majority owner Joe Lacob has said he’d be fine if Golden State takes two players in the lottery, which might be his way of tempering fans’ expectations.

Speculation has been rampant in recent weeks about trade packages the Warriors could put together for an All-Starcaliber player. But with the seventh and 14th picks, they might have a hard time finding a deal that makes sense.

Golden State could have worse options than using two lottery picks in a loaded draft. Though most experts believe there is a significant drop-off in the quality of prospect after the top six players, the Warriors should have no problem finding players in the 7-14 range who could help them next season.

Baylor point guard Davion Mitchell, widely expected to go in the mid-lottery, is a ready-made prospect whose on-ball defense and efficient scoring would give him a chance at the top eight of the Warriors’ rotation. Other players such as Michigan forward Franz Wagner, Gonzaga forward Corey Kispert and Oregon guard Chris Duarte could thrive in floor-spacing roles with Golden State.

But if the Warriors

keep both picks, they might want to use one on a high-upside project who’d need time to develop.

Players who fit that bill include Stanford forward Ziaire Williams, Tennessee guard Keon Johnson, Texas center Kai Jones, Australian point guard Josh Giddey and Spanish big man Usman Garuba.

Though the Warriors don’t necessarily want to get much younger, their top priority is to vault back into contention next season while still setting themselves up for long-term relevance. The Nos. 7 and 14 picks could help them accomplish both those objectives.

Bottom line: The Warriors are likelier to keep both picks than many might realize, but plenty can change between now and the July 29 draft.

Cleveland Browns outside linebacker James-Michael Johnson, left, breaks up a pass in the endzone intended for Kansas City Chiefs tight end Steve Maneri, Dec. 9, 2012, in Cleveland, Ohio.

Johnson: Change From Page B1 was an experience he’ll never forget.

“You don’t appreciate the experience until you’re gone, and then you think, ‘That was dope!’ “ Johnson said. “Football taught me a lot. I learned a lot about myself and a lot about life. I wouldn’t trade that experience for anything.”

Johnson is well-known locally for helping transform Rodriguez into an area powerhouse, recording 5 1/2 sacks and forcing five fumbles to help the Mustangs finish over .500 (7-4), make the Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs and win a league title for the first time in 2006. He then went to Nevada and became a four-year starter after a redshirt season his freshman year.

Previously, Johnson’s post-NFL career included time as an Emergency Department Technician locally with NorthBay Healthcare and also with Sutter Medical Center in Sacramento. He also served as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) with NorCal Ambulance.

Johnson now lives in Sacramento with his wife Aleesia, an Armijo graduate, and their

children, 6-year-old James-Michael II and 7-month-old Amare’.

His interest was piqued about firefighting after a conversation with his uncle, Jerome Boyd, a former Oakland Raider (2009 and 2013) and Fire Battalion Chief in Los Angeles before he passed. Johnson’s cousin Jerome Boyd, Jr., is a firefighter in Oakland, and he also has relatives on duty in Washington D.C., Las Vegas and other parts.

“I didn’t realize firefighting was such a part of my family,” Johnson said. “After football I reached out to my uncle and wanted to know more about it, why he chose it and why he worked there.”

Johnson said that football and firefighting are actually not that much different. Both feature a competitive environment, living with, working with, training with, and eating with teammates. One of his favorite things to do is learning how to cook for his shift crew.

“Firefighting also has a playbook,” Johnson said. “You have to do X, Y and Z to get things done and you have a standard operating procedure. It’s seriously competitive and I enjoy it.”

US initial jobless claims fell slightly last week to 411K Tribune Content Agency Applications for U.S. state unemployment insurance fell slightly last week, though were higher than forecast, as the labor market meanders toward a full recovery.

Initial claims in regular state programs decreased by 7,000 to 411,000 in the week ended June 19, Labor Department data showed Thursday. The median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of economists called for 380,000 new applications. The prior week’s claims were revised up to 418,000.

Weekly unemployment claims have fallen considerably since the beginning of the year as health concerns abate and businesses like restaurants return to full capacity. Still, the initial claims remain significantly higher than they were before Covid-19 and many employers say they are having trouble finding workers.

Continuing claims for ongoing state benefits fell by 144,000 in the week ended June 12 to 3.4 million.

Stock futures remained higher after the jobless claims report and other economic data.

States across the county are ending enhanced federal unemployment benefit programs amid an ongoing debate about

whether the programs are restraining hiring.

Overall, 26 states will end federal programs before their official expiration date in September, which may start to bring continued claims figures down considerably in the coming weeks.

Missouri, Mississippi and Iowa – which ended federal programs on June 12 – all posted declines in claims for pandemic unemployment assistance.

Declines for initial claims were widespread, with states including California, Florida and Ohio posting some of the biggest drops. Pennsylvania posted the biggest gain in applications last week.

Federal Reserve officials are focused on achieving maximum employment, which they define as a “broad and inclusive goal.” In a congressional hearing Tuesday, Chair Jerome Powell said that the labor market has a long way to go and needs continued support.

“The very quick job gains of the early recovery essentially involved going back to your old job,” Powell said. “Now it’s actually finding new jobs and that’s a matching function that is more labor intensive and time consuming.”

Teamsters union votes to organize Amazon workers Tribune Content Agency Delegates to the International Brotherhood of Teamsters convention voted overwhelmingly for a nationwide push to unionize hundreds of thousands of Amazon’s warehouse and delivery workers, a formidable task given the e-commerce behemoth’s fierce anti-union stance.

“Amazon is a threat to every Teamster member,” Teamsters General President Jim Hoffa told the 1.4 million-member organization in its virtual meeting. “We will organize Amazon.”

The Thursday vote, which also took place virtually, was 1,562 in favor of organizing to 9 against.

It comes in the wake of a stinging defeat for the labor movement and its progressive allies.

In April, Amazon workers at a giant warehouse in Bessemer, Ala., voted two-to-one

against representation by the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union after what organizers called a powerful anti-union campaign by the company.

In their statement Thursday, the Teamsters said they will “fully fund and supply all resources necessary” to address “Amazon’s exploitation of its employees, contractors and employees of contractors.”

In the years that the Seattle giant has grown explosively, no Teamsters local has filed a National Labor Relations Board petition to represent Amazon employees, a union spokeswoman said.

The Teamsters resolution said it would now commit to engage Amazon workers and community groups as well as advocate for antitrust enforcement, labor policy reform and global solidarity.

Unruly travelers face criminal charges and penalties, TSA warns Tribune Content Agency Federal officials are warning travelers to behave or face potential criminal penalties for unruly behavior.

The Transportation Security Administration stressed its “zero tolerance” policy in a release Thursday and said it may seek the maximum allowable criminal charges and civil penalties against violent passengers.

“Passengers do not arrive at an airport or board a plane with the intent of becoming unruly or violent,” Darby LaJoye, who is temporarily leading

the agency, said in a statement. “However, what is an exciting return to travel for some may be a more difficult experience for others, which can lead to unexpected, and unacceptable, behaviors.”

The warning comes before the July 4 holiday weekend and amid a broader surge, with U.S. travel statistics moving toward pre-pandemic levels. On June 23, for example, TSA recorded 1.8 million travelers through checkpoints, compared with less than half a million on the same day last year and 2.6 million in 2019.

A woman waits in line for food at a Chipotle Mexican Grill in Houston, Texas, June 9. Menu prices at the Chipotle Mexican Grill have risen by roughly 4% to cover the costs of

raising its’ minimum wage to $15 an hour for employees.

The restaurant industry has been boosting wages in the hopes of attracting workers during a labor crunch.

Inflation on the menu as restaurants pass on soaring costs

Tribune Content Agency U.S. restaurants, faced with higher food and labor costs, are raising menu prices at a much faster pace than historical rates, insistent on preserving profits after an arduous year.

From local restaurants to national chains like Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc., owners have boosted prices by as much as 5% in the past few weeks alone.

Even at fast-food companies that were locked in price wars just a couple of years ago to win over cost-conscious consumers, increases aren’t taboo anymore.

“We are going to be paying higher prices in restaurants,” said David Henkes, senior principal at industry researcher Technomic. “Part of the calculus right now is there’s probably some appetite of consumers to pay whatever because they haven’t been out for a while.”

Across the nation, prices for food away from home rose 4% in May from a year earlier, the biggest jump since May 2009.

It’s one example of a surge in overall inflation that’s left policy makers at the Federal Reserve debating how long the cost pressures will last as the economy bounces back from the Covid-19 pandemic.

In the Tampa, Florida, area, restaurateur Andrew Koumi bumped up his

menu items by 2% to 4%.

Koumi, founder of a six-location chain called Green Market Cafe, tries to keep food and paper costs below 35% of his menu prices, but lately his computers keep flagging items that go above that parameter. He’s paying twice as much to buy chicken as he was in January, and other meats and paper products have gotten more expensive too.

Koumi isn’t too worried about standing out with his price increases, because “everyone’s doing it. Some people are doing it really drastically,” he said. “Could it go up more?

It’s scary. I’m hoping that it levels.”

For now, there’s no sign of abating.

Chipotle recently raised menu prices by as much as 4%, after increasing average pay to $15 an hour and hiring thousands of workers to keep up with demand. American homestyle chain Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Inc., which earlier this year raised menu prices by 2.8%, is bumping up that increase to about 3% amid continued pressure from wage and commodity expenses, including pork for sausage and bacon.

McDonald’s Corp., which raised its hourly wage by about 10% in May, hasn’t announced any jump in prices yet but said early this year that franchisees could handle labor inflation “between judicious pricing on the

menu as well as just thinking about productivity savings.”

Historically, restaurant operators tend to raise menu prices a few times a year. Between 2015 and 2019, that amounted to increases of about 2.5%, according to BTIG LLC analyst Peter Saleh. This year, the rate may reach about 4%, Saleh wrote in a note to investors.

Although food costs will likely moderate once supply bottlenecks are resolved, higher wages and labor shortages will persist even after pandemic relief has dried out, because people are yearning for greater worklife balance and flexibility in a post-Covid-19 world, Saleh wrote. That will create “inflation that in our view is not transitory,” Saleh said.

Whether higher prices are here to stay or just a temporary blip amid a fast reopening of the economy is at the center of a hot debate in the U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said at a Congress hearing Tuesday that price increases recently are larger than expected but reiterated that they will eventually wane.

While commodity prices such as lumber have come down, food costs have continued to surge. U.S. producer prices for processed poultry jumped to an alltime high in May. Some chains are coming up with cre-

ative solutions to avoid raising prices.

Wingstop Inc., for one, is only planning its typical 1% to 2% menu price increase this year. To save costs, the company is now buying whole birds instead of cut-up legs and breasts, selling less-used thigh pieces from a new delivery and takeout brand.

“The big price increases – the 4% price increases you’re seeing other chains do, that won’t be us,” Chief Executive Officer Charlie Morrison said in an interview.

“Large price increases that are promoted and then passed on to the consumer tend to have a negative reaction.”

For smaller businesses, there is often little choice.

In Atlanta, restaurateur Bill Goudey raised prices by as much as 5% on some items a few weeks ago, steeper than the 1% increase he’s more comfortable with. The last few months have been chaotic at his two Copeland’s of New Orleans franchises. Workers have been so scarce that customers have had to wait for a table for up to two hours some weekends.

“While we’re hopeful some of these are short term and supply chain related, many are longer term cost concerns that could take months to resolve,” Goudey said in an email.

BuzzFeed plans to go public through SPAC Tribune Content Agency BuzzFeed, the digital media company known for its irreverent lifestyle and entertainment content, is going public.

The New York-based firm, which launched in 2006, said Thursday that it plans to merge with a special purpose acquisition company, 890 Fifth Avenue Partners Inc. The deal, which is expected to close in the fourth quarter, will give BuzzFeed a valuation of $1.5 billion and the ticker symbol “BZFD.” As part of the transaction, BuzzFeed will acquire Complex Networks, a youth network that features fashion, food, music and sports content, for $300 million.

The amount will be made up through $200 million in cash and $100 million in BuzzFeed equity.

“We’ve built a slate of essential brands, loved by

Peretti and other executive team members will remain in their roles after the deal closes,

BuzzFeed said.

BuzzFeed’s owners include Comcast Corp.’s NBCUniversal, which invested $400 million in the company in 2015 and 2016.

Like other media companies, BuzzFeed was hard hit by the Covid-19 pandemic and laid off employees to offset declines in revenue from advertising and live events.

Earlier this year, BuzzFeed acquired the HuffPost from Verizon Media for an undisclosed price. As part of the deal, Verizon Media became a minority shareholder in BuzzFeed, which was valued at $1.7 billion.

BuzzFeed restructured HuffPost this year, laying off 47 U.S. employees and making other changes, including closing HuffPost Canada to stem losses that totaled more than $20 million in 2020, according to the company.

BuzzFeed’s plans to go public through a SPAC follows a larger trend of more Hollywood insiders launching their own blank check companies or SPACs that aim to buy businesses and take them public. Some companies may prefer a SPAC if they do not want to deal with scrutiny of an IPO road show but need to raise cash.

Crossword

Marvel Studios

Tom Hiddleston is the Norse God of Mischief in Marvel Studios’ “Loki,” which launched June 9 on Disney+.

‘Loki’s’ enchanting Lady Loki doesn’t like that name; this backstory explains why Tribune Content Agency A Loki by any other name is just as dangerous – even when things don’t go according to plan.

Loki (Tom Hiddleston) is in for a few surprises in the third episode of “Loki,” titled “Lamentis,” which picks up directly where the action left off in episode two. The titular God of Mischief is interested in teaming up with his counterpart, but the Lady Loki variant (Sophia Di Martino) has other plans.

The episode sees the pair of Lokis learning more about each other (including their romantic lives), raises suspicions that there is likely more to the Time Variance Authority and Time Keepers than has been disclosed on the series so far, and shows that no technology is foolproof.

One of the biggest revelations in the episode, however, is Hiddleston’s Loki discovering that Di Martino’s Loki goes by another name.

“Don’t ever call me that . . . a Loki,” declares the mysterious lady variant-on-the-run. “That’s not who I am anymore.”

The name she goes by instead? Sylvie.

Here’s the significance of that name – and what it might mean for the show moving forward.

Who is Sylvie?

The variant who’s been on the run from the TVA has mentioned more than once that she does not want to be called Loki.

Instead, she insists she is Sylvie.

Marvel comic book fans know that Sylvie is a name that invokes some history with Loki.

A 2009 comic book series called “Dark Reign: Young Avengers” (by Paul Cornell and Mark Brooks) introduced a group of superpowered teens calling themselves the Young Avengers . . . even though there was already a superhero team known as the Young Avengers.

The established team

Daily Cryptoquotes

included Wiccan (Billy Kaplan), Speed (Tommy Shepherd), Hawkeye (Kate Bishop), Stature (Cassie Lang) and the Patriot (Eli Bradley), who have all been introduced, or are slated to be introduced, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in some way.

The wannabe Young Avengers were a bit less heroic, but superpowered nonetheless. One of its members was a young woman going by the alias the Enchantress, who wielded magical powers and spoke using strange, faux Old English.

Enchantress eventually shares that her name is Sylvie Rushton and that after suddenly waking up with magic powers she moved to New York from Broxton, Okla., to live her new superpowered life.

But it turns out that this Enchantress – she’s the second Marvel character to use the alias – was actually created

by Loki. And in this run of the comic book, Loki was a woman, and a more traditional villain, who “liked the idea of creating a mortal who suspects she’s one of my kind.”

What does this mean?

The revelation that “Loki’s” Lady Loki, who is a master of enchantments, prefers to be called Sylvie could just be a nod to the character’s comic book history. But if viewers have learned anything from watching the films and TV shows from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, things are not always that simple.

In “Dark Reign: Young Avengers,” it’s mentioned that part of Loki’s MO is creating traps – so Enchantress could be some sort of trap for the existing Young Avengers. Whether “Loki’s” Sylvie is also a trap, and for whom, is yet to be revealed.

On the other hand, the MCU does not often feature completely comic book-accurate character backstories, so this could just be a detail to throw off viewers

chasing Marvel Easter eggs to further their fan theories.

Happy Pride! Loki is canonically bisexual Episode three has made it official: Loki is queer.

Loki and Sylvie have some time to try to get to know each other a little better over the course of the episode, and among the topics they cover is romance.

When Sylvie asks if there have been any special “wouldbe-princesses” or “another prince” in Loki’s life, he answers “a bit of both. I suspect the same as you.” Sylvie confirms that yes, she too has found companionship among both genders.

“Loki” series director Kate Herron took to Twitter to confirm Loki’s bisexuality and why it was important for her that the show acknowledged his identity.

“From the moment I joined [‘Loki’] it was very important to me, and my goal, to acknowledge Loki was bisexual,” tweeted Herron. “It is a part of who he is and who I am too. I know this is a small step but I’m happy, and [my] heart is so full, to say that this is now Canon in [the MCU.]” Loki’s sexuality has been addressed in the comics: In the 2013 “Young Avengers” series, young adult Loki mentions his “culture doesn’t really share [human] concept[s] of sexual identity. There are sexual acts, that is it.” He is generally understood to be canonically pansexual and genderfluid in comics and books.

It should be noted that bisexual and pansexual are distinct queer identities, but while the MCU’s Loki did not claim a specific label within the show, his attraction to more than one gender is explicitly confirmed. This is a big step for the MCU, which has for years been called out for its abysmal track record when it comes to LGBTQ inclusion.

Sudoku

by Phillip Alder In this deal, South is in three no-trump. How should he continue after West leads the spade queen?

In the auction, if North had rebid three hearts or four hearts, that would have guaranteed at least a six-card suit.

With only five hearts, North rebid three no-trump to offer his partner a choice of games. Holding just a doubleton in hearts, South passed.

The original mental case won the first trick and played a heart to the jack. East, a psychiatrist, ducked smoothly.

Declarer returned to his hand with a diamond and played a heart to the queen, but East won with his king and shifted to a club.

South won on the board and cashed the heart ace, getting the bad news. His only chance now was a 3-3 diamond split, but that did not materialize, and declarer finished down one.

North pointed out that as his partner had started with six winners outside hearts, he needed only three tricks from that suit, not four. So, on the first round, he should have run his eight.

North continued, “East wins with his 10 and plays a club, but you take that trick in your hand and play a heart to the jack, establishing the necessary number of winners.”

Often in no-trump it pays to lose early if you wish to win eventually.

Richard Scott William Hutchinson celebrated his first birthday on June 5. Guinness World Records recently named Richard the world’s most premature baby to survive.

A newborn weighed less than a pound and was given

‘a zero percent chance of survival’ He just had his first birthday

The Washington Post

R

ight before Richard Scott William Hutchinson was born, his doctors delivered the news that he had “a zero percent chance of survival,” his parents said.

Richard, the world’s most premature baby to survive, proved them wrong: He just turned 1.

On June 5, 2020 - four months before her due date - Richard’s mother, Beth Hutchinson, abruptly went into labor. She was 21 weeks and two days pregnant, meaning only about halfway to full gestation.

Richard came into the world weighing less than one pound the scale read just 340 grams.

He could fit into a single palm of a hand.

The delivery went smoothly, and the baby survived, but “they didn’t think he would make it very long after that,” said Beth Hutchinson, 36.

Stacy Kern, a neonatologist at the Children’s Hospital and Clinics of Minnesota, where Richard was born, explained to Hutchinson and her husband, Rick Hutchinson, the heartbreaking odds for their only son.

“We have not resuscitated anyone younger than 22 weeks, so we did not have experience on how to care for a baby born at 21 weeks,” said Kern.

“There’s a lot of things you need to worry about with delivering a baby this early.”

The news was devastating to the couple, who struggled with fertility issues for several years. When they found out she was pregnant in February 2020, “we were ecstatic,” said Beth Hutchinson.

They were shocked when they learned the baby’s prognosis, but they also felt resolve to fight for him.

“I wasn’t going to give up on my son,” vowed Rick Hutchinson, 40, who manages a gas station. “You are your child’s biggest advocate.”

As they anticipated, the first few weeks of Richard’s life

The Hutchinson family in December 2020, celebrating Christmas. were turbulent.

“He was very, very sick,” said Kern, adding that Richard, who is considered a micro preemie, had lung problems and was on a ventilator for eight weeks.

Common risks associated with premature birth include lung, brain and feeding issues, as well as general developmental concerns, Kern explained.

“It was really hard for me,” said Beth Hutchinson, who is in college studying computer science. “It’s our child that we were finally getting to have, and then we were told that he may not even live.”

While Richard’s health was in the balance, the family and neonatal intensive care unit team remained dedicated to him.

“I felt like if we can get him through these first couple weeks of life and he can prove

that he can oxygenate and ventilate and he doesn’t have a catastrophic bleed, we could do this,” Kern said.

Every day without fail for six months, the Hutchinsons drove an hour from their home in St. Croix County, Wis., to Minneapolis, where their son was being treated with around-the-clock care. With each visit, Richard repeatedly defied the odds.

Kern strongly believes the Hutchinsons’ constant presence at the NICU contributed to their son’s resilience during his first few months of life.

“We know that babies that are talked to and held do better and have better outcomes,” she said.

“For them to be there, always holding him and talking to him, it absolutely played a huge role.”

Likewise, Richard’s parents credit his doctors for saving

their son’s life.

“They walked us through every step of the way and made sure that we knew up front what the possibilities would be, whether they were good or bad,” Beth Hutchinson said.

“They were always honest with us, and that’s what we wanted from day one.”

“The staff interacted with us on a personal level. They are family now,” said her husband.

With each passing week, Richard’s condition steadily improved - an incredible feat for him and his doctors, and a major relief for his parents.

“You think back to how sick he was initially, and then you go in his room and you see this smiling baby who is getting chunky and just looks so good,” said Kern.

Watching his progress, she said, was “just an incredible feeling.”

Richard continued to gain strength, and on Dec. 4, just before the six-month mark, he was finally ready to head home with his parents.

While Richard’s homecoming was an emotional day for his mom and dad, it was also a meaningful occasion for the whole NICU team that cared for him.

“I wasn’t on service that day, but I came in to see him and say goodbye,” Kern said. She recalls scooping him out of his crib and saying: “Wow, you did it, buddy!”

Work ing on R ichard’s case, she added, was profoundly rewarding.

“I feel so proud of him,” Kern said. “I’m so happy for the family and that they’re able to share this miraculous story of their wonderful baby.”

While at home, Richard has continued to develop and grow, and although he still requires oxygen support and a pulse oximeter, he is slowly weaning off medical equipment.

“He’s doing really well. He’s pretty much hitting all of his milestones,” said his mom. “He’s got two teeth now and a lot of personality. He’s a happy, smiley baby, and he loves to laugh.”

Just before his first birthday, Richard was officially recognized by Guinness World Records as the world’s most premature baby to survive.

“I was so surprised that they actually named him,” Beth said, adding that Kern helped facilitate the application process and provided the required medical documentation.

The title for world’s most premature baby was previously held by James Elgin Gill of Ottawa, who was delivered in May 1987 at a gestational age of 21 weeks and five days.

The couple said they were “extremely excited” when their son was verified by Guinness World Records, as they believe his story will help raise awareness of premature babies.

On June 5, baby Richard turned 1 year old - a momentous milestone for any child, but especially for one whose doctors believed he had no chance of survival.

“He has inspired us with how strong and resilient he’s been,” said his mom.

She and her husband are chronicling Richard’s growth in a Facebook group, and they also plan to start a nonprofit organization in the coming months to support other premature babies.

Celebrating Richard’s first year is “a huge victory for him.

This kid has done incredible,” said Kern.

Richard now weighs 16 pounds and has started crawling and eating baby food by mouth rather than a feeding tube. His health will continue to be closely monitored, “but so far, they don’t think he will have any major issues,” Beth Hutchinson said.

To mark his first birthday, Richard’s parents treated their son to a big vanilla cake, ice cream, lots of balloons and a celebratory meal with his family.

“Everything he’s gone through in his short little life, I couldn’t imagine going through that,” said his dad. “But he did it, and he’s truly my hero.”

B12 Friday, June 25, 2021 — DAILY REPUBLIC

Series: Duggar has been plus for Giants TV: Listings From Page B1 plate appearances to qualify among the league leaders. But the contributions come from throughout the roster.

A primary example is Steven Duggar, one of Olson’s offseason workout partners in Atlanta.

“He’s finally getting a little chance over there and having a great year,” said Olson, who like Duggar is 27. “You watch him hit, you know he’s incredibly talented. Then turn on the TV and watch him play the outfield. He really is one of those five-tool guys who can do it all.

“I feel he hasn’t necessarily gotten love for his power, but he’s got some juice. He’s definitely a good center-field, top-of-the-lineup guy.”

Duggar didn’t make the Opening Day roster and played just three games in April but is experiencing a breakout year, hitting .325 with six homers and a .962 OPS while posting the team’s second highest WAR behind Crawford among position players.

Starting the season at the alternative site and

becoming the No. 1 center fielder is how it works in San Francisco. With few positions set in stone, it’s a free-for-all with playing time, and the man with the hot hand usually gets to play more.

“I can go down the line. It’s been that theme the whole year,” Duggar said of the Giants’ penchant for trusting the entire roster.

That the Giants lead the majors in home runs yet list nobody among the top 12 is a sign of a deep team. Eighteen Giants have hit homers, and 10 have hit at least six.

Five have reached double digits, led by Crawford’s 16.

The A’s don’t do as much platooning as they had in recent years because they’ve got everyday players at most positions, but their outfield depth has been tested with injuries to center fielder Ramon Laureano and right fielder Stephen Piscotty.

Laureano’s 2 1/2 -week absence allowed Tony Kemp to further showcase his talents (playing left field when not filling in for Jed Lowrie at second base), and Mark

“It started in the offseason,” Duggar said, “just trying to work to get back to being myself.”

Olson took a similar approach, saying, “I wanted to come in with a better mind-set and be more of a feel, rhythm hitter and get back to playing baseball.”

It’s a far cry from Olson’s early days in the majors when he was a backup, at least until the A’s traded Yonder Alonso in August 2017 and Olson became the starting first baseman and a lineup fixture.

It has taken longer for Duggar, but he’s the man in center for now as the Bay Area teams, with their ample depth on display, collide for the first of two regular-season series. The other is Aug. 20-22 at the Coliseum.

Olson on the Giants: “It’s obviously a good team. You can’t fake that record. I’m looking forward to the challenge.”

Duggar on the A’s: “We’re aware of what they’re doing. They’ve been a good club the past few years. It should make for an exciting series at Oracle.”

Canha seamlessly slid over to center.

A former utility man who has played himself into an everyday role, Canha is second on the team behind Olson in WAR. But Canha exited Thursday’s game with a hip injury and will have an MRI Friday, a development that could further test Oakland’s depth.

The Olson-Duggar relationship is relevant not just because they train together but because of the lefty swingers’ career-best first halves and the significant impact on their teams.

“Just being able to observe Oly from a distance and work out with him in the offseason, he’s an incredible player, a Gold Glover and has been swatting plenty of homers over there for Oakland,” Duggar said.

While few would dare to emulate the 6-foot-5 Olson’s unique arms-extended batting stance, Duggar said he has tried to learn from Olson’s tempo at the plate. Like Olson, Duggar hit under .200 last year, which makes his 2021 numbers further stand out.
