Suisun City Fire Department marks 160 years of service

SUISUN CITY — The Fire Department is celebrating its 160th anniversary this year. That’s quite a feat since the city is 150 years old. “The Fire Department predates the city,” Fire Chief Justin Vincent said at a recent City Council meeting. It was launched by the Union Army. The department secured a hand-pulled cart from San Francisco in August 1861. The story, Vincent said, is that it was too much for the steep hills and had rolled downhill, killing a firefighter. The department still has that piece of equipment. A fire devastated much of downtown Suisun City in 1869. An eight-square block area was lost to fire in 1988.

Ready to rocket, Bezos aims to open up space tourism Tribune Content Agency SEATTLE — When Kent, Washington-based Blue Origin on Tuesday rockets Jeff Bezos upward on its first mission carrying humans into space, the wealthiest man on the planet will be blazing the trail of a newly hot recreation for the very rich: space tourism. Bezos, creator of Amazon, founder and bankroller of Blue Origin, follows on the

tail of the heavily marketed trip to space just days earlier by fellow billionaire Richard Branson in a Virgin Galactic spaceplane. On Blue Origin’s rockets, tickets for its 11-minute thrill ride are initially expected to cost in excess of $300,000 per seat. If an ephemeral experience with just three minutes of weightlessness seems a frivolous See Rocket, Page A7

The company Blue Origin founded by American billionaire Jeff Bezos will send humans into space for the first time Tuesday, for a journey of a few minutes in zero gravity aboard his New Shepard rocket. A seat on a rocket is up for auction, but its price already exceeds $2.2 million.

hese days you 3. How to judge don’t really the ripeness have to know of fruits and how to do anything. All you need desirability of is a smartphone, vegetables an internet If you go to the connection and a supermarket and question. Usually see some dude there are several Tony Wade squeezing oranges YouTube videos on The last laugh or thumping on how to do everyspaghetti thing from properly clean squashes, go ahead and a fish to do-it-yourself pull a Mr. T and pity that open heart surgery. fool. He’s an amateur. My There are some things, ingenious methods of however, you have to come judging what produce to to this column to disbuy incorporates sports cover how to do. and games so they are

easy to remember. For grapes, put a bunch of them in a circle on the floor and then shoot cherry tomatoes at them like marbles. The ones that roll easily are OK. Two birds, one stone. For cantaloupes, dribble the desired fruit futbol-style down an aisle and then kick it into an end cap Coca-Cola display. Yelling “Goooooaaaaaaallllllll!” while running around in a circle is optional. If at least three Coke cans fall off of the display, that is one sweet cantaloupe. For watermelons or honeydew melons, whistle “Sweet Georgia Brown” while spinning it on one finger, let it roll down the length of your outstretched arms and then do a behind-the-backunder-the-leg pass to an unsuspecting old woman looking at some green beans. If she drops it and it splats on the floor, do not buy that one, it was not ripe. Repeat the process with several other fellow customers until someone catches it. If supermarket employees get upset about having to clean up the mess, release the tension by pretending to throw a bucket of water on them that is really confetti. For onions, place two on the floor, touching each other. Put your foot on

1. How to pose in front of the cool new Fairfield mural Rio Vista artist Nick Stiles completed a beautiful mural downtown on Madison and Texas streets. It features a Clydesdale, a Dave’s hamburger, Solano County produce, Fairfielders enjoying life and much more. Stiles made it easy to pose in front of his glorious creation by adding a “stand here” camera icon in the middle of the dream sequence arch thingie that is the piece’s focal point. My wife Beth and I took several ones there, but I also pretended to strum the guitar of the guitarist and later just went ahead and added myself digitally to the wall next to the kid seemingly handing me a toy Mr. Jelly Belly.

2. How to answer stupid questions that you anticipate This is an easy one – well, in this context. First, I write the whole column and then I simply move the answer so it appears before the question is even asked. Thus, yes, of course I always take a croquet mallet with me when I grocery shop.

If someone trips on it, that onion is a keeper. Did you have a question about that croquet mallet? Didn’t think so.

4. How to Wonka I was recently in a Zoom meeting where a friend made a reference to Willy Wonka, specifically Veruca Salt. Someone else piggybacked on it and I even jumped in with an Augustus Gloop analogy. Before I did, however, I warned everyone that they had better be talking about the delightful and magical 1971 movie (or the Roald Dahl book) and not that abomination of a remake or I would leave right then and there.

5. How to become a humor vampire The other day my wife Beth threw a napkin at the trash and missed. She picked it up and threw it again and missed again. When she picked it up once more and took aim, I started loudly counting, “One! Two! Three! Four!” and we both cracked up.

You see, throughout the NBA playoffs, Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo has taken a very long time from when he receives the ball from the ref to when he actually takes his shot for a free throw. You are only allowed 10 seconds and he has been called for taking too long. So fans of opposing teams started counting very loudly whenever he is at the foul line, and evidently it works because he’s missed a lot and has even thrown up several air balls. So how do you become a humor vampire? Well, taking a whole paragraph to explain an inside joke is a good place to start. That sucked every bit of levity out of that experience that Beth and I chuckled mightily at. I was trying to cleverly fit Sesame Street’s The Count in here somehow, but this tacked-on, not-so-clever sentence is the best I can do.

6. How to transition from Zoom meetings to live ones Start wearing pants and stop wearing sweats, shorts or worse, Donald Duck-ing it.

7. How to win friends and influence younger brothers Well, just be an older brother. They can’t help but worship your awesomeness. I got into the bands WAR, Paul McCartney & Wings and the Eagles because my oldest bro OT liked them. However, it took decades for my younger brother Kelvin to catch up with my love of British power metal band Iron Maiden. I got my first Maiden album from Eucalyptus Records in 1981, but it took Kelvin getting stuck like Chuck in the pandemic to realize their greatness and explore their back catalog. Last week he sent me the link

to the video for Maiden’s newest single, “The Writing on the Wall,” (song, meh, video, awesome). I have not given up on my dream of the two of us hosting a show where we talk about the band called “Iron Wadens.”

8. How to make huge mistakes One way is not to factcheck a column with people who would know. In last Friday’s Back in the Day column about The Pizzarino Boys Chronicles, I said that Mike Green had died. Uh, he is very much alive. Sorry, Mike. I smacked myself in the dome with my croquet mallet for making such a blunder.

Bird Rescue virtual open house welcomes visitors Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The public is invited to International Bird Rescue‘s 2021 virtual open house while the organization’s staff and volunteers are in the midst of responding to an ongoing seabird crisis involving elegant tern chicks. It’s a two-week-long online experience, with virtual tours and new videos every day designed to open the doors to the public and showcase the organization’s work rescuing waterbirds in crisis. Bird Rescue is sharing these free events through Friday as part of its golden anniversary. There are also downloadable activities for young and old alike. The videos highlight the work Bird Rescue has been doing to rescue waterbirds at its two California wildlife centers, including the San Francisco Bay-Delta Center in Fairfield. The organization also operates an Alaska Wildlife Response Center in Anchorage. Covid-19 protocols prevented Bird Rescue from welcoming visitors into their centers these past 18 months. The wildlife rehabilitation centers have continued to operate as an essential service without interruption throughout the public health crisis. There are currently 719 birds in care, including more than 270 recently admitted elegant tern chicks at the Southern California Center, which is “ground zero” for a seabird rescue event after a colony nesting on barges

was disturbed in Long Beach Harbor. The baby seabirds dropped off the barges into the water and were found floating helpless, separated from their parents and unable to return to the colony. Without quick rescue and resuscitation, most of these chicks would perish. Check out the virtual open house at www.birdrescue.org/get-involved/ virtual-open-house. More information on the Long Beach Seabird Rescue can be found at www.birdrescue.org/blog. Rescue over Bird the past five decades has rescued more than 125,000 wild birds, responded to more than 225 oil spill events including saving wildlife at the 1989 Exxon Valdez Oil Spill, helped manage the rehabilitation of 20,000 oiled penguins in South Africa, and rescued oiled wildlife in the Gulf of Mexico during the 2010 Deepwater Horizon well blowout.

‘People are so afraid to discuss it’ Has Covid-19 affected women’s menstrual cycles? to prioritize this in the approval process or trials, at least that I know of.” Abrams had no other issues after her vaccine and found it to be overall safe and effective. “But I do think it’s indicative of this sort of larger question about who we value and whose issues are prioritized.”

Tribune Content Agency RALEIGH, N.C. — Hannah Kahn got Covid-19 in mid-November, and expected to get her period shortly after. When it never came, she didn’t think much of it at first. “I was just worried about having Covid-19 and distressed by it,” she said. Additionally, as someone who’s been on birth control for five years, Kahn has experience with missing a period or having it come very late. But December, January and February went by, and she still didn’t get her period. Since she finally got it in March, her cycle has been largely irregular. Kahn also has had some lasting symptoms of Covid-19, like an altered sense of taste and smell. When she talked to her primary care doctor and gynecologists about her irregular periods, they agreed it was also probably due to Covid-19, but “none seemed that concerned about it.” “But I was obviously worried about it,” Kahn said, “because it’s my body. And I don’t want something to be permanently altered in me that I have no control over.” For a while, not hearing anyone else talk about their periods or having similar symptoms made her “feel crazy.” She took to doing her own research and found that this was happening to others. She found that when you’re sick, rising levels of cortisol – a stress hormone – can affect whether or not you get

Others had experiences similar to Kahn’s, where they felt isolated or alone until they realized others were enduring similar symptoms. Leah Abrams, 23, is from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and graduated from Duke in 2020. She met Kahn, 23, through work in New York. Abrams has been on birth control since she was 16 and has had a regular period for as long as she can remember. So when she started spotting in the middle of a pack of pills a week after her period ended, she noticed very quickly. For three weeks, she spotted continuously, even though she was weeks out from her next period. She had no hypothesis for what was happening – “I thought maybe I ate something” was her best guess. It wasn’t until a friend texted in their group chat, asking if anyone else was also having a weird period after their first

Covid-19 vaccine, that she realized what might be happening. But when she went to the doctor in April to make sure everything was OK, they didn’t think much of her theory. They offered to do an ultrasound, but Abrams said her providers were “pretty dismissive” of her proposed connection between the vaccine and her spotting. “I think that’s a function of women broadly not being believed or studied,” she said. “We don’t know what the longterm impacts will be because nobody thought

How can Covid-19 affect periods? Research on the impact of the coronavirus or the vaccines on menstrual cycles isn’t yet extensive. While there is anecdotal evidence that Covid-19 affects periods, “specific data about this phenomenon’s frequency are scarce,” according to Medical News Today. There is no evidence currently that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19, directly affects periods, but responses to the virus may. What Kahn found on the internet about rising stress levels affecting periods checks out with experts. See Cycles, Page A8

You’re willing to go along for the ride without knowing what you’re in for and whether you’ll be led to laughter, tears or thrills. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Knowing that the level of kindness in a person’s outside voice speaks volumes as to what’s happening on the inside, you’ll extend kindness and compassion to those who can’t seem to reach a gentle tone. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Decisions must be made. Whether it has to do with furniture, songs, styles, people . . . the goal is the same.

bonding. You are understandably upset and hurt because of their inconsiderate behavior toward your generous offer to host a cocktail event. If you cut them out completely, it doesn’t do anyone any good. Instead of looking at it like you are the “bigger” person and they are the “less than” person, look at it as a misunderstanding that you want to get to the bottom of. You never know what people have going on in their lives behind closed doors. Try and forgive them for their non-communication and make sure to communicate to them how you feel. Once they know that you would like to be notified instead of your mother and that you were hurt when they didn’t respond, my guess is they won’t do that again. Always remember that other people, even family members, are not mind readers, and it’s important to communicate with them. Now if they continue to snub you, then you are better off without them.

Comedian Iglesias tests positive for Covid, cancels shows Tribune Content Agency Comedian Gabriel Iglesias has tested positive for Covid-19 despite being vaccinated against the virus, he said Thursday. The multi-talented comic, who also goes by “Fluffy,” made the announcement on a social media video posted on his birthday. “I’ve started showing some symptoms and, fortunately, it wasn’t debilitating,” he said. “I’m still able to talk. I just have some body aches, some chills. “Other than that, I feel pretty good. My health is OK, I’ve been vaccinated. I give credit to that for getting me through this,” Iglesias told his millions of followers on Twitter and Facebook.

The California-born funnyman said he took two different tests to make sure he had the virus and both came back positive. The diagnosis forced him to cancel his remaining shows at the Tobin Center in San Antonio, where he had been performing since late June. “As soon as I have three negative tests, I’ll go back to work. But until then, I’m just going to lay low,” he said. In addition to standup comedy, Iglesias hosts the Nickelodeon competition show “Unleashed” and is the star and executive producer of the Netflix comedy series “Mr. Iglesias.” He has also appeared on “Magic Mike,” “A Haunted House 2” and other films.

Will California get tough on housing quotas?

aving more or less completed work on the state budget, legislators abandoned the Capitol last week for their annual summer vacation. They will return in mid-August, presumably, tanned, rested and ready to vigorously tackle other pending matters in the final month of the 2021 session. High on the agenda is the single most important issue facing California – an ever-growing housing shortage, particularly for low- and moderate-income families, that is the prime factor in our highestin-the-nation poverty rate and a major barrier to expanding employment. The state Department of Housing and Community DevelDan Walters opment declares that California should be building 180,000 units of new housing each year to meet demand, but actual production has been scarcely half of that level. The department has dramatically raised regional housing quotas for the remainder of the decade, more than doubling those for the previous eight-year period, largely because construction fell short. In the six-county Los Angeles region, for example, the quota more than tripled from 412,137 units to 1.3 million. Regional quotas have been divvied up into specific goals for local governments that are also much higher, particularly in suburban communities that have tended to resist new housing development. For example, the Orange County communities of Costa Mesa and Westminster had been required to plan for two new housing units each in the previous period, but now have goals of 11,700 and 9,759 respectively. While local governments generally don’t build housing themselves, the state requires them to make enough land available, through revised zoning, to meet their quotas. The new numbers have generated pushback. Suburban cities tried to persuade the Southern California Association of Governments, the regional planning agency, to sue the state rather than accept the 1.3 million quota. When SCAG refused, the Orange County Council of Governments filed its own lawsuit, contending that the 1.3 million figure is twice what it should be. The Legislature’s role in the conflict is typified by one of the session’s most controversial measures, Senate Bill 9. It would effectively eliminate single-family zoning by allowing duplexes to be built on lots now zoned for one home and making it easier to split single-family lots into two parcels. The bill is being carried by Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins, a San Diego Democrat, and is a new version of an Atkins bill that died, somewhat mysteriously, at the end of the 2020 legislative session. The earlier bill passed the Senate but was held in the Assembly until just before midnight on the final night of the session, then was sent back to the Senate too late for a final vote. It appeared to be the victim of a personal feud between Atkins and Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon. SB 9 has passed the Senate and will again be pending in the Assembly when the Legislature reconvenes. It’s drawing stiff opposition from dozens of cities affected by the state’s higher housing quotas, particularly those in Southern California. This month 120 mayors and city council members from 48 Southern California cities sent a letter to Gov. Gavin Newsom, urging him to veto SB 9 should it reach his desk. “The state nullification of local zoning is an attack on democracy,” the local officials told Newsom. “California already requires citizen participation for general plan adoption, including housing elements, and for zoning ordinances or specific plans. Overriding those policies undermines the very process our state mandates.” Bottom line: SB 9’s outcome will tell us how much muscle the state is willing to use to force local compliance with its housing goals.

Laden. That obligated us to support it, a hopeless task as we should have known. Like Vietnam, Afghanistan was a traditional country. The modernization we introduced made us vulnerable as outsiders who wanted to impose something the average Afghan (male) didn’t want. The fight was on. The Taliban were motivated but government troops weren’t. Their trainers and supporters were Westerners, trying to introduce Western and non-Muslim values, they were told. Too many government officials turned to stuffing their pockets with the sudden flood of American wealth, including then-President Hamid Karzai. Afghan troops seldom fought as well as the Taliban, even though they had better weapons and firepower. Whenever we surged or brought overwhelming force, the Taliban retreated anonymously into their villages or into Pakistan, their adjacent sanctuary. And the same American dynamic prevailed. Bush couldn’t win but couldn’t lose so he pushed the paradox on to the next president to lose. Barak Obama pushed it on to Donald Trump, who pushed the inevitable loss on to Joe Biden. The lesson: We’re incapable of winning hearts and minds in a civil war in faraway, non-Western, traditional cultures. Modern culture takes a long time to develop, longer than we’re willing to endure.

Service From Page One The department added a horse-drawn wagon in 1906. The first motorized engine was secured in 1929. The department still has it today and is working on the carburetor. “If you have been around, you have seen this,” Vincent said. It’s often used vincent in parades, he said. Vincent noted that in some of the pictures he was sharing, the all-volunteer firefighters did not have turnout gear. They did possess a lot of bravery, he said. Five Dover Terrace homes were partially destroyed by fire in 1978. That same year, Elmo’s Bar caught fire. Vincent shared details on the community effort, which included former Councilman Mike Segala, to have a second station. “It was true volunteer spirit,” Vincent said. The department secured two steel beams from the World Trade Center in time for the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The beams are on display in front of the station. More than 50 years ago, the department launched the city’s annual Easter egg hunt. For the past two years, with Covid-19 regulations in

place, the tradition continued with the Fire Department delivering eggs throughout the community. Vincent said he expects the annual Halloween parade will return this year, offering a safe place for families to have fun. He also shared pictures of musters that were held until about 10 years ago. The firemanship games sort of died out, he said. The department is also home to a bike team, dive and rescue team, and water rescue team. Vincent, in marking the anniversary, said he considers the department as offering 160 years of excellence. Mayor Lori Wilson agreed. When Vincent said he hoped for 160 more years, Wilson said, “To infinity and beyond.” Other City Council members offered praise to the department. “I’ve watched them for a lot of years,” Councilwoman Jane Day said. “They have achieved a tremendous amount and one of the best jobs we can ever ask them to do.” Councilman Mike Hudson thanked the department for dropping by his church for a Fourth of July barbecue. “The kids loved it,” he said. “You are setting an example for the next generation.” Councilwoman Wanda Williams praised the

A helicopter flies with a load of water to the Bootleg Fire near Bly, Oregon, Thursday.

Blazes From Page One continues to chew through dry chaparral and pine trees, aided by gusting winds and temperatures projected to peak in the low 90s on Sunday. It was one of two lightningsparked forest fires that together make up the Beckwourth Complex fire. During a recent briefing, U.S. Forest Service Section Operations Chief Jake Cagle said the 100,000-acre “megafire” milestone is no longer uncommon in California, which experienced a record wildfire season in 2020 and is already outpacing those numbers this year. “These are the new norms now,” Cagle said. “We used to say ‘unprecedented and historic.’ We’re past that now.” Climate experts have said that vegetation in Northern California is at record-dry levels for this time of year, fueling blazes that are burning faster and hotter than firefighters expect to see this early in the fire season. Another fire burning south of Lake Tahoe near the California-Nevada border has grown to more than 18,000 acres, according to the U.S. Forest Service. Dubbed the Tamarack fire, the blaze, which

was ignited by lightning on July 4, remains 0% contained and has forced evacuations in and around the small mountain town of Markleeville. The Death Ride, a 103mile bike ride that starts and ends in Markleevlle, was canceled Saturday. In Butte County, the Dixie fire, which began burning Wednesday, had charred more than 15,000 acres by Sunday morning. The fire is burning along remote, steep terrain and is only 15% contained, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. As of Sunday morning, Caltrans had closed part of State Route 70 near its junction with State Route 191. A fourth fire – this one burning near Yosemite National Park and dubbed the River fire – started a week ago and has spread over more than 9,600 acres, destroying 12 structures and damaging two more, officials said. The fire is now 75% contained. And along a rural stretch of southern Oregon just north of the California state line, the Bootleg fire, the largest wildfire burning in the nation, had covered more than 298,000 acres by Sunday morning. The gigantic fire, which at one point threatened to derail California’s power grid, is now 22% contained.

To achieve that farreaching goal, he’s built at Blue Origin a company culture reflective of the Silicon Valley venture capital values that created Amazon and the other tech giants: an unshakable belief that technology linked with the capitalist profit motive will change the world. Blue Origin engineer Gary Lai, one of the company’s first 20 employees and lead designer of the 60-foot-tall New Shepard reusable rocket that will boost Bezos into space, outlined in an interview the company’s rationale for space tourism. “Even if the ticket prices are high, there are still a lot of high-networth individuals in the world . . . So there is a very healthy potential to fly very often,” he said. In turn, “Flying more and more will allow us to perfect those techniques, which will benefit all programs at Blue Origin.” Bezos, on a 2016 press tour of Blue Origin’s Kent headquarters, likewise compared space tourism to the early aviators who flew biplanes around the U.S. “The barnstormers who went around and landed in small towns and gave people rides up in the air, that was entertainment – but it really advanced aviation,” he said. “You don’t get great at anything you do only 12 times a year,” Bezos said then, referring to the low frequency of NASA’s big space launches. “With the tourism mission, we can fly hundreds of times a year. That will be so much practice.” For him and for Blue Origin, the New Shepard rocket – named after the first American to go to space, Alan Shepard – is the precursor to bolder steps later: putting

working for,” she said. “I thank you.” Mayor Pro Tem Alma Hernandez thanked the entire department for “selflessly putting themselves in danger every day.” It’s a department dedrockets into orbit around the Earth, sending them to the moon and beyond. Bezos sees space tourism on New Shepard as a steppingstone to that future. “It’s not frivolous. It’s logical,” Bezos said in 2016. “It’s actually a critically important mission for taking this thing to the next level.”

‘It will make money’ In Virgin Galactic’s quite different approach to lifting tourists into space, a crewed rocketpowered “spaceplane” is released from underneath a “mothership” at an altitude of 50,000 feet, then fires its engines and launches into space. It’s guided back to land by two pilots. Branson projects building several global spaceports, enabling 400 flights to space a year on multiple models of the spaceplane. On the Blue Origin rocket, in contrast, there’s no crew controlling the vehicle at any point, only passengers. The booster rocket soars upward burning a mix of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. Its exhaust is a trail of water vapor with no carbon emissions. Near the top of New Shepard’s arc the sixseat passenger capsule detaches. It descends on parachutes while the reusable booster rocket is guided down to land vertically, its descent softened by reigniting the engine as it approaches the ground. Three people will join Bezos on Tuesday’s flight, two of them by his personal invitation: his brother, Mark Bezos; and 82-year-old Wally Funk, one of the original female NASA astronauts trained for the Mercury missions who never got to go to space. The fourth passenger is 18-year-old Oliver Daemen, son of the CEO of a private equity investment firm whose bid in Blue Origin’s charity auction had initially secured a seat on the second flight. Daemen was moved up after the auction winner, who had bid $28 million, chose to postpone to a later flight. Rocketing into space is clearly a passionate

icated to the call, not the dollars, Wilson said. “The city has received the benefit of you putting duty above all else,” she said. “It’s time for us to put duty first as well to ensure we fund the department.” Hundreds and hun-

dream for Bezos. He often relates being captivated as a 5-yearold watching on TV as Neil Armstrong first stepped onto the moon. Bezos chose Tuesday for the flight because it’s the anniversary of that day 52 years ago. On that 2016 press tour, he cited two reasons why humans need to go to space. The first, couched as an altruistic ideal, was to create an industrial ecosystem in space to preserve the finite resources here on earth. The second might have come from his 5-yearold heart: “It’s a glorious adventure,” Bezos said. Now it must also be a business, said Ariane Cornell, Blue Origin’s astronaut sales director, responsible for selling tickets to individuals who want to ride on New Shepard. “Our founder has one of the most brilliant business minds around. So, this is a business. I can say that for sure,” Cornell said. “Absolutely. It will make money.” She said more than 7,600 people registered for the company’s auction to buy a seat on the first flight. Since then, “I have been very busy on the phone talking to very serious customers from around the world.” “While it’s a nascent market, I can tell you there’s a lot of pent-up demand to go to space,” she added. After Tuesday’s flight Blue Origin has two more launches with passengers lined up for this year, “and many more to come,” Cornell said. “People are clearly interested in paying more to be first certainly,” she said. “As more people go, we do see the price coming down.” And she said the total package offered by Blue Origin is not so ephemeral. Ticket buyers will go to the Texas launch site to train for two days ahead of the rocket launch. “All of that is part of the experience, not just the 11 minutes off the ground,” Cornell said. Cornell pitches the climactic ride to space as life-changing. “You’re on top of a rocket. You’re going to get the rumble of the engine as you take off, you’re going to feel the G’s come

on and you’re going to get that evolution of the colors outside those huge windows,” she said.

The space tourist market Doug Harned, a financial analyst with Bernstein Research who covers the space industry, believes the space tourism business can make money near term. “You can generate a lot of cash with these expensive tickets,” he said. “The operating costs are just dwarfed by what you can bring in revenues.” Yet he worries the revenue might not be sustained for many years. He said the twoand-a-half-hour webcast that surrounded Branson’s Virgin Galactic ride last Sunday, hosted by Stephen Colbert, fell flat and prompted scathing Twitter reviews. “There was so much discussion about what an epic event this is,” said Harned. “Well, you go up there, you’re weightless for three minutes, pretty cool, and then come back down. People look at it and say, ‘Really, is it that exciting?’ ” Taber MacCallum, CEO of Space Perspective, has a very different space tourism experience in mind. His Tucson, Ariz.-based company is touting “the world’s most radically gentle voyage to space” in a high-performance space balloon. It will climb serenely over two hours to an altitude of just 100,000 feet, or 19 miles up, which is less than a third as high as New Shepard. But a successful unmanned test flight from Florida last month showed that’s high enough to view the curvature of the earth and the blackness of space. Though it won’t provide the experience of weightlessness, Space Perspective’s enclosed passenger cabin – with a fallback safety parachute in case the balloon fails – will float in the stratosphere for two hours before it starts to descend. MacCallum is targeting taking passengers up in 2024, though with just one test flight completed he concedes that’s “an aggressive schedule.” “We will fly when it’s safe,” he said.

Donna Angus

From Page A3

May 31, 1938 — July 10, 2021

Donna Patricia Angus, 83, of Fairfield, died July 10, 2021, in Rancho Solano, Fairfield, California. She was born May 31, 1938, in Caribou, Maine. Around 1944 she moved to Fairfield, California, with her parents, Joe and Marion Damboise, as well as her older sister, Gloria. She would later have a second sister, Roxanne. Donna would continue to primarily reside in Fairfield her entire life. Growing up, she was very close to her father Joe. He was the town sheriff and always encouraged Donna to be involved around the community, including activities sponsored by the local Boys club, such as gymnastics and water skiing. Donna was educated in Fairfield-Suisun public schools and began attending Armijo High School in 1953. She would become a member of numerous clubs and team sports. She was an excellent student and graduated in 1957. That summer she would win the Miss Solano County pageant and go on to win runner-up in the Maid of California contest at the California State Fair. Not long after graduating she would pursue a secondary education in computer programming and moved to San Francisco. It was around this time that she would meet her first husband, Bob Oman. Together they moved to Mountain View, California, and began raising a family. Donna’s first marriage resulted in three children: Michael, Kelly and Heidi. Donna was always very passionate about her children and enjoyed being a stay-at-home mother. In the early 1970s, following her first marriage, she would move back to Fairfield with her children and began pursuing what would become her true passion, real estate. Raising her kids while pursuing a competitive career in real estate

was no small task, but Donna had extraordinary resolve and dedication, developing a career she knew would provide a comfortable life for her family. She became very successful as a real estate agent and broker in Fairfield. In 1976, she would meet her second husband, Glen Angus. They both shared a common interest in real estate acquisition and development, together founding a successful real estate company. In 1982, her second marriage resulted in the birth of her youngest son, Joey. Shortly thereafter, she retired and focused on raising her youngest child full time while managing her real estate investments for the rest of her life. She was a wonderful mother, amazing grandmother, beloved sister and loyal friend who was always there for her children and kind to those around her. She enjoyed spending her free time watching movies, reading James Patterson novels, playing Bingo, cooking, going to sporting events, but most of all, she enjoyed being with her family. In her later years, Donna found her greatest joys in her four grandchildren: Reid, Tommy, Nicky and Brooklyn. She is survived by her two sisters, Gloria Koch and Roxanne Damboise, as well as her four loving children, her oldest son, Michael Oman, two daughters, Kelly Dagul and Heidi Hemer, and youngest son, Joe Angus. She was preceded in death by her parents, Joe and Marion. Donna would always light up the room with her smile and illuminated the world with her heart. She will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts. A prayer service and celebration of Donna’s life will be held at 2 p.m. Tuesday, July 20, 2021, at Bryan-Braker Funeral Home, 1850 W. Texas St., Fairfield, California.

“If you’re running a high fever, that’s a significant stress, and there can be a good chance that you may not ovulate, and that’s going to lead to menstrual irregularity,” explained Dr. Thomas Price, a reproductive endocrinology and infertility specialist at Duke University. Other physiological effects of Covid-19, such as not being able to eat and being fatigued, can also cause high stress levels. And there is a direct correlation between menstrual cycles and stress, anxiety and depression, according to Price. He noted that stress levels among individuals have risen during the pandemic, much of which is associated with the isolation of staying at home and having restricted social lives. When stress affects hormone production, menstrual cycles can

Along with psychological stresses – such as moving, exams and living through a pandemic – Price noted that other events can cause changes to menstrual cycles, such as weight gain or loss, which many also may have experienced during the pandemic. The uterine lining contains immune cells that help protect the uterus, and according to the Associated Press some gynecologists believe that when the lining sheds during menstruation, the Covid-19 vaccines may be able to affect periods. There’s no evidence that any vaccines affect fertility.

there are issues. When her spotting first started and her doctor was dismissive of her concerns, Abrams, like Kahn, described feeling “really crazy for a second.” When her friend reached out in her group chat and others described similar issues, she felt validated. Kahn also noted that “when it comes to issues that affect mostly women, it’s not uncommon for there to be sort of a lag in the medical community’s response to acknowledge it as a real thing.” For Kahn, the experience highlighted the “broader context of the stigma around periods.” “This is something that almost half of the adult population is going through, yet we still find it so difficult to talk about,” she said. “In an ideal world, we would be talking about Covid-19 changing your period the same way we talk about Covid-19 affecting your sense of taste and smell.”

Pesky Cardinals shake off Giants Tribune Content Agency ST. LOUIS — A Giants offense that led the National League in home runs and OPS during the first half of the season came out of the All-Star break and relied almost solely on the long ball to score against the Cardinals this weekend. A three-home run game that featured two from Mike Yastrzemski powered the Giants to an easy victory on Friday, but the lineup struggled against St. Louis southpaw Kwang Hyun Kim on Saturday and didn’t

fare much better against fellow lefty Wade LeBlanc in Sunday’s 2-1 defeat. A sub-.500 Cardinals team has now won a pair of series against the Giants this month as San Francisco will head to Los Angeles for a four-game set against a Dodgers team that can end their six-plus week reign atop the National League West. The Giants did hit one home run on Sunday as first baseman Darin Ruf took LeBlanc deep in the fourth inning, but the lineup went 0-for-7 with runners in scoring

position and didn’t get a hit in four innings against the Cardinals bullpen. “Very good offensive teams, very good baseball teams go through periods of time where you’re just kind of dry,” manager Gabe Kapler said. “The runners in scoring position thing, you’re not getting the big hit, you’re hitting into some bad luck, all of those things feel kind of heavy.” Starter Johnny Cueto held the Cardinals to two hits over five innings, but one was a long solo home run

from St. Louis shortstop Paul DeJong that gave St. Louis a 1-0 lead in the third. Cueto had only thrown 70 pitches when the Giants lifted him in favor of right-hander Dominic Leone, but he still pitched deep enough to become the seventh Dominto ican Republic native throw 2,000 career major league innings. “I’m honored to be in such an elite group of pitchers from my home country,” Cueto said through Spanish language interpreter Erwin Higueros. “I feel very proud to represent

the Dominican Republic. I also feel very happy with the support from my fans and my family.” Kapler’s decision to pull Cueto was a result of general arm fatigue and the Giants’ reluctance to have him face Cardinals stars Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado for a third time. That Kapler went to Leone in the sixth instead of saving him for the seventh was a mild surprise, but Leone has been used in higher-leverage situations this season and was able to keep the See Giants, Page B8

The 149th open championship

Open Champion Collin Morikawa of United States celebrates with the Claret Jug after winning The 149th

Open at Royal St George & Golf Club on Sunday in Sandwich, England.

Morikawa eager to savor success after Open triumph Tribune Content Agency LONDON — New Open champion Collin Morikawa intends to take a breather and drink in the history of his achievement – but he will let his caddie choose what gets put in the Claret Jug. The American, who won the 2020 US PGA Championship on just his second major start, held his nerve to keep compatriot Jordan Spieth at bay on the closing stretch and become the first player to win two different majors on debut. He eventually finished two shots clear of Spieth on 15 under and became only the second person

after Tiger Woods to win the Open and US PGA before the age of 25. And, having restrained himself all week, he is planning a celebration before heading home. “I think when you make history – and I’m 24 years old – it’s hard to grasp, and it’s hard to really take it in,” he said. “At 24 it’s so hard to look back at the two short years that I have been a pro and see what I’ve done because I want more. “I enjoy these moments and I love it and I want to teach myself to embrace it a little more. “We’ve been staying at the hotel right by the course. Every night I see

all the caddies drink, and I’m like ‘Man, I really want to drink, but I hold back. I hold back on tournament week’. “It’s JJ’s (caddie JJ Jakovac) birthday. I’m going to let him decide (what drink to put in the Claret Jug).” While Morikawa may have been staying away from the alcohol this week, his success seems to have been partly fuelled by fast food. “The secret? Well, I never do this, but I had a burger for four straight days, so my body is probably feeling it. I know my body’s feeling it,” he added. “I think I just enjoy

these moments and I talk about it so much that we love what we do.” When Morikawa recorded his breakthrough major win at the US PGA at Harding Park in San Francisco it was in front of no fans as Covid-19 restrictions were still in full force. So to do it in front of full grandstands – 30,000 people were allowed into Royal St George’s every day this week - was a delight for the American and he was also able to use that fact to answer those who questioned his ability to perform under pressure. “The nerves are See Open, Page B8

OAKLAND — The All-Star break was supposed to refresh and recharge a slumping A’s offense. But the slump carried over. The Oakland A’s 4-2 loss to the Indians on Sunday cemented a series loss in three games and Cleveland’s first series win in Oakland since 2014. It was another game lost on the slimmest of margins where the pitching staff’s few mistakes were magnified by the lineup’s inability to produce many – or any – scoring threats. Friday, the A’s rallied back in the ninth for a walk-off. Saturday, the A’s lost by a run and squandered plenty of ripe scoring threats – the team hanging hope on the fact they were at least putting themselves into those opportunities. Sunday, those opportunities didn’t even occur as the A’s went 0-for-1 with runners in scoring position. With Mark Canha back in the lineup and an injured list down to a small handful, the A’s are still faltering at

Tribune Content Agency PITTSBURGH — The Steelers have picked 79 players in the first round of the NFL draft. Bill Dudley, Joe Greene, Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, Lynn Swann, Rod Woodson, Troy Polamalu and Alan Faneca made the Hall of Fame, as did Len Dawson, the team’s No. 1 selection in 1957, who had his greatest success with the Kansas City Chiefs. Ben Roethlisberger is sure to join the others in Canton. Maurkice Pouncey and T.J. Watt have a chance. What a fabulous history. I can’t wait to see where former Antioch High School star Najee Harris ends up ranking among the Steelers’ No. 1s. Has there ever been a Pittsburgh athlete who broke in here with more hype and facing greater

expectations than Harris? Mario Lemieux and Sidney Crosby? Absolutely. Barry Bonds? I’ll give you him. But among Steelers rookies? I can’t think of one. Not even the great Woodson or the incomparable Polamalu. It’s not just Harris’ wondrous athletic ability that puts him so much in the spotlight. His fame also is a product of his media exposure, both traditional media and social media. Greene is regarded as the best player in Steelers history, but no one knew of him when he came out of North Texas State in 1969. His draft selection was greeted with “Joe Who?” headlines. Quarterback is the sexiest, most glamorous position in all of sports, but who really had a chance to watch Bradshaw at Louisiana Tech

before he was picked No. 1 overall in 1970? Or even Roethlisberger at Miami of Ohio before he went in the first round in 2004? Harris played at Alabama, college football’s marquee program. Its games are on television every week. It plays for the national championship almost every season. Harris’ extraordinary highlights were featured on SportsCenter virtually every Saturday. Everybody knows everything about Harris. So what if Harris hasn’t had an NFL carry yet? He already has drawn rave reviews from those who watched him at Steelers OTAs and minicamp. “He is a sharp guy,” Mike Tomlin said. “He is a football guy.

They get in good work in the cage Bushy does well preparing them about how they’re going to be pitched to, we’re just in a rut right now. Every day we go out there, I feel like we’re going to break out of it.” Cleveland starter Zach Plesac surrendered hard contact up and down the A’s lineup – some luck was involved there. Sean Murphy was robbed of a potential extra-base hit in the second inning that could have scored Matt Chapman from second. That second inning saw the A’s most significant scoring opportunity and the first run, unearned for Plesac on second baseman Ernie Clement’s throwing error on a tailor made double play ball by Chapman. The error scored Jed Lowrie from third. Seth Brown’s 11th

FAIRFIELD — The Fairfield Expos needed a big win on Saturday night and came up with an 8-2 triumph over the Siskiyou Spirits in the American Legion Area 1 Tournament at Laurel Creek Park. Trevor Morse pitched a solid four innings for the Expos. Gabe Ponce threw two strong innings and rookie 14-year-old Peyton Olds struck out the side in the final frame to secure the win. The Expos played Yuba-Sutter on Sunday night with a berth in the tournament semifinals on the line. The offense in the win over Siskiyous was led by Aiden Robles with three hits. Reilly Ramirez, Blake Bozzini, Drew Carrington and Kaden Wilde all had two hits apiece. Bryce Dichoso drilled a bases-

loaded triple to knock in three runs. Fairfield had a big five-run third inning and added single runs in the first, fourth and sixth inning. The Expos hit .500 as a team by going 15-for-30 in the game. Sunday night’s winner is scheduled to play the Petaluma Leghorns in one semifinal game today at 4 p.m. The Chico Nuts square off against Napa Valley in the second semifinal at 7. The winner of each semifinal will meet Tuesday night at 7 p.m. for the championship and the right to advance to the six-team state finals in Fresno. The winner of the state championship returns to Fairfield Aug. 3-8, along with state champions from Hawaii, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Nevada, to play in the Western Regional.

A guide to stone fruit How to choose, ripen, store, cook with it A aron Hutcherson The Washington Post

apart. There are also flat versions of the fruit called donut or Saturn peaches. Because of their size, they are usually best for eating out of hand as they would take more effort to prepare compared to traditional round peaches. When it comes to taste, donut peaches are also typically sweeter and milder than round ones.

tone fruit is my favorite part of summer . . . after the warm weather and extended hours of daylight. So called for the singular pit or stone at the center – which houses a seed inside – stone fruit, also known as drupes, are generally in season late May through early October in the United States. Some of the most common drupes include peaches, nectarines, plums, apricots and cherries, but olives, mangoes and pecans also fall under this category. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of varieties of many of these fruits – not to mention the various hybrids such as plumcots, apriums and pluots – that come in many shades, sizes and flavors. Here’s what you need to know about some of the most popular types of stone fruit.

While peaches tend to get most of the hype during stone fruit season, don’t sleep on nectarines. The two stone fruits are very similar in many ways, and relatively interchangeable in uses, but nectarines are often firmer, sweeter and juicier than peaches. One of the key differences between the two is that nectarines are smooth-skinned compared to the characteristic fuzz of peaches, which is a boon for anyone unsettled by eating furry fruit.

Peaches

Plums

These are what I consider the standard-bearer when it comes to stone fruit in the U. S. – there’s nothing better than biting into a ripe peach and letting the juice drip down your chin on a warm, sunny day. The fruit is generally known for its balance of tart acidity and sweetness and is either a deep golden yellow or creamy white. Yellow peaches tend to have higher acidity; white peaches are milder and often slightly sweeter, but they’re generally not recommended for cooking as they can get mushy and fall

There are different types of each of the stone fruit included in this list, but plums are perhaps the most varied. Their size can range from as small as a cherry to as large as a baseball; they come in a variety of colors, including deep purple/ nearly black, red, yellow and green; and they exist all along the sweet-tart spectrum. (The one I’m currently eating for inspiration as I write this article is definitely on the astringent end of the range.) They have smooth skin, and the whitish layer sometimes found atop it is

Nectarines

called the “bloom” and helps to protect the fruit.

Apricots The vast majority of apricots grown domestically are from California, and these yellow fruits have a velvety skin that isn’t quite smooth, but isn’t as fuzzy as that of a peach. Compared to other stone fruit, apricots tend to be firmer when ripe and won’t get as juicy. As such, apricots aren’t usually interchangeable with peaches or nectarines in recipes because of the difference in water content.

Cherries These diminutive, often heart-shaped stone fruits come in shades of red and yellow and can be divided into two categories: sweet or tart. Sweet cherries, such as Bing and Rainier, are great eaten out of hand or can be baked into pies and clafoutis, cooked down into jam or simmered into a sauce. Perhaps the most popular variety of tart or sour cherry is Montmorency, and as the category’s name implies, you don’t really want to pop them into your mouth as a snack. They’re also known as pie cherries, because they’re still great for mixing with sugar and baking.

Freestone versus clingstone While I’ve heard this categorization mostly applied to peaches, it applies to other stone fruit as well. Freestone and clingstone reference how much the flesh of the fruit

adheres to its pit. As I’m sure you can deduce, freestone implies a looser connection compared to clingstone, and though the pit inside freestone fruits might not just fall out when you cut it open, it will be much easier to remove than in clingstone fruits. (Most of the fruit available in grocery stores is freestone.) Aside from the pitting process, the difference between the two is that clingstone fruits are juicier and slightly sweeter, making them ideal for canning and preserving.

Selection, ripening and storage The skin on stone fruit should be smooth and plump – hence the peach emoji’s double-meaning on social media – and they should feel hefty for their size. Wrinkled skin signifies older fruit that should be consumed immediately. For cherries, it’s best to buy fruit with the stems still attached as they will keep longer. You can tell if most stone fruit is ripe if there is a little give when you press gently near the stem. (No, this does not give you clearance to start squeezing all of the fruit on sale at the grocery store or farmers market. It’s nice to buy fruits at different stages so you can enjoy them for an extended period of time instead of all at once.) For peaches in particular, the nose knows – they will have that unmistakable floral, sweet scent the fruit is known for when ready to consume. Sweet

cherries will be firm when ripe, whereas sour cherries will be slightly soft. Cherries should always be stored unwashed in a breathable produce bag in the refrigerator. Other stone fruits should be kept, also unwashed, either in a paper bag or in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with a kitchen towel with another towel on top at room temperature until ripe. If going with the paper bag method, you can throw in another ethylene producing fruit, such as an apple, to help speed up the ripening process. (It’s important to note that ripening will only improve the softness and juiciness of the fruit, and won’t actually make them sweeter.) Once ripe, store the fruit in the crisper drawer of your fridge, preferably in a breathable produce bag if available. Lastly, you can peel stone fruit if you want before cooking and baking, but it’s not necessary. If you find the skins difficult to remove, drop the fruit in boiling water for 30 to 60 seconds, plunge in an ice bath and then they should be more easy to disrobe. Whether raw or cooked, peeled or not, stone fruit are the cherry on top of a wonderful summer produce season. Aaron Hutcherson is a writer and recipe developer for Voraciously at The Washington Post. He is a culinary school graduate and has worked professionally in the food and media worlds in various capacities for nearly a decade.

Coke Zero fans brace themselves as company announces ‘refresh’ The Washington Post There’s another shake-up in the world of fizzy drinks. Coca-Cola Zero Sugar’s recipe and packaging is getting a “refresh,” the company announced on Tuesday, with executives promising that the new version of the popular nocalorie drink will taste “even more delicious and refreshing” than the current iteration. The company indicated that the change is more of a tweak than an overhaul, noting that the drink’s ingredient list (including the sweetening blend of aspartame and acesulfame potassium) and nutritional values won’t change.

The Coca-Cola Company

C oc a - C ola Zero Sugar ’s “refreshed” recipe and packaging will appear on shelves this month, with full U.S. distribution in August. The new incarnation instead “optimizes existing Coca-Cola Zero Sugar flavors and existing ingredients,” according to

the Coca-Cola announcement. It will appear on shelves this month, with full U.S. distribution in August. Changes to the packaging include the iconic Coca-Cola script in bold black and a streamlined font announcing the “Zero Sugar” part of the product. Even though the changes sound minor, any tinkering with a beloved beverage can prompt serious anxiety from dedicated consumers, with many recalling the mid-’80s debacle that was New Coke. (A condensed history of the cautionary tale now taught in business schools: Amid its battle with rival Pepsi, Coca-Cola changed its formula and name to New Coke, which

customers decidedly didn’t like, ultimately forcing the company to reintroduce its original soda as Coca-Cola Classic.) It’s the second reboot in the 16-year history of the nocalorie beverage, which is supposed to taste more like regular cola than the company’s lighter-sipping Diet Coke. In 2017, Coca-Cola Zero was renamed Coca-Cola Zero Sugar and its formula and packaging revamped, in an apparent effort to further distance the product from traditional diet drinks. That announced change set off a round of hand-wringing. Our colleague Maura Judkis wrote at the time that consumer fears followed the pattern of the five

stages of grief, from denial (“tell me it’s not true!”) to acceptance (“I will miss you my friend.”). A similar wave of sentiment could accompany Tuesday’s news of the latest reboot. After all, the ghost of New Coke still haunts fans who survived the journey. However the rollout of the new bubbly drink plays out, consumers may have the last word: Coca-Cola plans a marketing push that involves taste tests in which sippers will be asked if the new product really is the “Best Coke Ever?”

The case of the PowerTitan measures 10.2 by 6.7 by 7.2 inches, and it weighs 9.5 pounds. As for what it can power, Aukey says the PowerTitan can charge a laptop four times, keep a mini fridge running for 20 hours, charge an iPhone 11 30 times and keep a TV running for 4.5 hours.

The PowerZeus has exact same number of ports as the PowerTitan. The two AC outlets have a maximum output of 500 watts with a peak of 1,000 watts.

Unlike its smaller sibling, the PowerZeus does not support charging through its USB-C port. The LCD screen is the same size and provides the same information as the PowerTitan. The PowerZeus measures 12.1 by 7.6 by 7.1 inches, and it weighs 14.3 pounds. The case has a fold-down padded handle to make it a bit easier to carry. The two power stations are very similar except for the increased battery and output capacities. Pros: Easy to carry, clear display, good power capacity for its size. Cons: No USB-C charging. Bottom line: A great power station for the price.

Conclusions The Aukey Power Stations are what I would call light duty. It is easy to find power stations that have 1,000 or 2,000 watthours of power, but each size has its place. The PowerTitan and PowerZeus are cheaper than similarly sized units from the competition like Jackery and Goal Zero. Don’t expect miracles. If you need to power a full-size refrigerator, you’ll need to spend more for a unit with larger capacity. But for the money, these two power stations have all the right features at attractive prices. I’ve been interested in portable power stations for years, but the cold snap and power outages Texas experienced in February put them front and center in people’s minds.

‘Schmigadoon!’ is for lovers of musicals or Keegan-Michael Key and Cecily Strong fans

Crossword

Tribune Content Agency “Schmigadoon!” is for superfans of musicals. But even if you prefer to keep an ironic distance from any theatrical experience that involves breaking into song with backup dancers, it’s also worth watching. The new AppleTV+ series, which debuted Friday, speaks to America’s complicated relationship with the art form. “Hamilton” proved in the biggest way possible that musicals still can be relevant and ground-breaking. Yet Broadway is strewn with so-so adaptations of hit movies (“Pretty Woman: The Musical” anyone?) and bioplays about superstars like Cher and Tina Turner that essentially are greatest-hits concerts with dialogue. “ S ch m i gado on!” understands this love-it, already-forgot-about it dichotomy in ways that will encourage even cynics to tap their toes to the melodies. It also smartly puts two versatile, appealing actors at its center: “Saturday Night Live” regular Cecily Strong and Detroit’s own Keegan-Michael Key, a comedy icon who easily could be a bigscreen leading man in dramas if Hollywood had more vision. Strong and Key play Melissa and Josh, doctors in contemporary New York City whose romance is hitting that comfortable, but boring spot. To reignite the sparks now missing, they go backpacking and wander off the path and right into a magical place whose residents work, dress and behave as if they’re living inside a Rodgers and Hammerstein or Lerner and Loewe production from the 1940s. If you recognize the title’s spin on the 1947 classic “Brigadoon,” you probably will be familiar with all of the shows that are lovingly parodied here. If you don’t, you still might enjoy a premise that evokes every TV series that has attempted a musical episode, a device that “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” used to best effect. Only in “Schmigadoon!,” it takes a while for Melissa and Josh to realize they’re not at a Colonial Williamsburg-type attraction for theater buffs. This is more like an alternate universe for theater kids. And the songs! There is a peppy one about the town of Schmigadoon, where the time frame seems to be somewhere in the early 1900s of “The Music Man” and “Oklahoma!” (although with modern touches like the color-blind casting that Melissa applauds). There is a peppy ode to the old-timey dish “Corn Pudding”, a song from a bad-boy carnival barker that echoes Billy Bigelow’s “Soliloquy” from “Carousel”

Daily Cryptoquotes

Courtesey of Apple TV+/TNS

Cecily Strong, left, and Keegan-Michael Key in “Schmigadoon!” on Apple TV+. and another ode to doing your best that’s performed by a schoolteacher and her tap-dancing students. The piece-de-resistance, though, is the graphic lesson in human reproduction that Strong’s character delivers with a parody of “Do-Re-Mi” from “The Sound of Music.” All those mentions of actual body parts would make Maria apoplectic. The plot’s twist is that Melissa and Josh must find true love in order to cross the bridge back to the real world. That is something they once had but neglected to nurture. In flashback scenes that feel like snippets from a great rom-com, Strong and Key are seen falling for each other in a flood of affection and then dealing with the frustrations every couple faces once things get realistic. Those moments are so tender and relatable, you’ll wish there was a separate TV series about them exclusively. Created by Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio from the “Despicable Me” animated films and executive-produced by Lorne Michaels, “Schmigadoon!” has attracted heavyweight Tony winners and nominees to its cast. Aaron Tveit, from Broadway’s “Next to Normal” and “Moulin Rouge!,” brings a delicious swagger to his role as the carnival barker ready to sweep Strong off her feet. Alan Cumming, who played the emcee in a hit “Cabaret” revival, is the wistful mayor who’s hiding a secret not mentioned in ‘40s musicals. Ariana DeBose of “Hamilton” is a delight as a dedicated schoolmarm who isn’t so fond of her town’s judgmental habits. And “Wicked” star Kristen Chenowith, who portrays a sour one-woman morals squad, gives a showstopping, one-take per-

formance of a song inspired by “Ya Got Trouble” from “The Music Man.” Her bravura delivery deserves an honorary Tony of its own. The best part of “Schmigadoon” is how it finds laughs in the way old musicals are so sugarcoated and outdated about things like gender roles. During a bouncy number in which a male dancer playfully spanks his female partner, Strong’s Melissa is appalled and says: “That’s not OK, unless it’s consensual.” Melissa also is the voice of awareness in a scene with Jane Krakowski, who does a takeoff on the Baroness from “The Sound of Music.” As Krakowski sings about her fate of never getting the man, Strong says, “It’s never explicitly stated, but I think you’re a Nazi.” Josh, meanwhile, confronts his own musical conundrums when his search for true love leads to a potential shotgun wedding, a revelation that could put one character in the path of Chenowith’s wrath, and some group singing about “crossing that bridge” (when all he really wants is a return to his former life without a soundtrack). “Schmigadoon!” has gorgeous sets and costumes in addition to its sharp take on how musicals have evolved along with society. And with theaters only now beginning the reopening process after being shut down for a year by the Covid-19 pandemic, it is a timely reminder of what we’ve been missing in live entertainment. So take note, producers. If someone decides to combine all six episodes and do a stage version, there are plenty of us who would buy a ticket and a “Corn Pudding” souvenir T-shirt.

THE BIDDING TOLD HIM WHAT TO DO If you knew that the opponents were going to outbid you, often you would do best to pass throughout. Any positive bid helps declarer to place the cards. Of course, on the other side of the coin, good competitive bidding will sometimes push the opponents into the wrong contract. In today’s deal, West regretted that

Sudoku

by Phillip Alder South hadn’t been the dealer. If South had opened one no-trump, West would have passed, and three no-trump would surely have gone down. Being in the balancing seat, South was too strong to overcall one no-trump, which would have shown about 12-14 points. South had six top tricks: one spade, two hearts and three diamonds. Two more tricks could be established in clubs. Of course, if diamonds were breaking 3-3, that would produce nine tricks. But if they were 4-2, should South play East for the spade king? No, because with only 12 high-card points missing, West must have that card for his opening bid. South won the first trick with his heart king and played the club queen. West ducked this trick but returned the heart nine (first high, then low from a sequence) after taking the second club trick. Declarer won with the ace, cashed dummy’s three minor-suit winners and played a diamond to his queen. West did the best he could, discarding the spade jack. He was trying to look like a man who had blanked his king from an original 2=5=2=4 distribution. However, South didn’t believe him. South exited with his last heart. West, after taking three tricks in that suit, had to lead away from the spade king-three into South’s ace-queen. COPYRIGHT: 2021, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

New Val Kilmer doc features homemade movies

Movie › “Grown Ups” 2010, Comedy Adam Sandler, Kevin James. (CC) (DVS) Wild/ Wild/ Wild/ Wild/ Wild/

FAIRFIELD — A documentary about actor Val Kilmer, “Val,” is one of several movies arriving on screens this week. For more than four decades, Kilmer has amassed thousands of hours of footage through homemade movies with his brothers to blockbusters such as “Top Gun” and “Batman Forever.” It’s rated R. The week’s early debuts include two comedies and Trolls. “How It Ends” is a feel-good apocalyptic comedy about a freewheeling young woman who scores an invite to one last wild party before the world ends. Making it there won’t be easy. Her car is stolen, and the clock is ticking on her plan to tie up loose ends with friends and family. It’s rated R. “Once I Was Engaged” is a comingof-age comedy about a young woman who gets engaged in college. Her loving but over-thetop mom goes all out to create the wedding of the century. It’s not rated. “Troll Hunters: Rise of the Titans” follows the events of the “Tales of Arcadia” trilogy.

Report: Nearly all hospitals flout federal requirement to post prices The Washington Post Most U.S. hospitals are failing to comply with federal regulations requiring medical centers to post their prices online for patients to review, according to a new report by patient advocates. The report, which surveyed the websites of 500 of the roughly 6,000 hospitals subject to the rule, found that 471 of the hospitals failed to fully post the prices they charge patients and the rates they have negotiated with insurers. The federal price transparency rules took effect Jan. 1, 2021. Hospitals’ failure to post prices is complicating patients’ ability to shop for care, said Cynthia Fisher, the founder of Patient Rights Advocate, which conducted the report and submitted a copy to the White House on Thursday. The group said it believes its survey of transparency measures is representative of hospitals overall. “Right now, we see these hospitals being anti-competitive and not posting their prices, including the prices that they’ve negotiated with insurers,” Fisher said. “We’ve seen wide price variation within the same hospital for the same services.” The report comes one week after President Joe Biden instructed his health department to enforce the hospital price transparency rules, which were crafted by the Trump administration. Hospitals that fail to comply can face a penalty of up to $300 a day, which advocates say is insufficient to compel the industry – which has spent years fighting pricetransparency efforts and sued to block the rules – to post prices that hospitals have negotiated with insurance companies.

“We think that President Biden can continue to hold them accountable by enforcing stricter, higher and more meaningful penalties,” Fisher said. The report faulted a number of hospitals in the D.C. region for failing to comply with all or part of the federal regulations. For instance, the report said MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, MedStar National Rehabilitation Hospital and MedStar Washington Hospital Center failed to comply with a requirement to post the cash prices that patients would pay. The hospitals’ price transparency disclosure forms instead say that MedStar “does not have a standard cash price. The amount is determined based on patient-specific circumstances.” MedStar spokesman Brendan McNamara said the system could not comment on the report’s findings until after a review. “MedStar Health is committed to enhancing price transparency and is meeting federal requirements at all of our hospitals,” McNamara said. BridgePoint Healthcare – a privately run system with facilities on Capitol Hill and near National Harbor – publicly posted what is known as a “charge master,” a technical list of items that are billed to insurers. But it failed to post the more comprehensive list of prices for patients to navigate, Patient Rights Advocate said. BridgePoint did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Elected officials have pushed for greater healthcare price transparency, although experts have cautioned that the policy’s

effects may be limited. In a December 2020 survey, the Kaiser Family Foundation found that 96 percent of Democrats and 91 percent of Republicans supported “making information about the price of doctors’ visits, tests, and procedures more available to patients.” But a follow-up Kaiser Family Foundation poll in May 2021 found that just 9 percent of adults were aware that hospitals were required to post the information online, and only 14 percent said they or a family member had gone online to research the cost of hospital care in the past six months. “This is a very popular policy position, but it’s not something a lot of people at the moment are taking advantage of – or even know about,” said Mollyann Brodie, a Kaiser Family Foundation executive vice president who oversees the organization’s polling. Some former Trump officials and advisers praised Biden’s call last week to enforce the price transparency rules. “I couldn’t be more pleased” with Biden’s move, said economist and Trump adviser Arthur Laffer, appearing on a Fox Business show hosted by Larry Kudlow, who led the National Economic Council during the Trump administration. “When the Dems do something good, we praise them,” Kudlow responded. Brian Blase, a policy consultant who served as a special assistant to Trump and helped craft the last administration’s price transparency rules, credited the “positive signs” from the Biden administration but said the White House needed to demonstrate it would actually impose the rules.

Giants: SF can’t fend off Cardinals after first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr. failed to handle the ball, which allowed the go-ahead run to score. LeBlanc wasn’t quite as sharp as Cueto, but the Giants were unable to capitalize on a handful of great scoring opportunities. The Giants loaded the bases with one out in the first inning, but a Wilmer Flores strikeout followed by a first pitch flyout from Brandon Crawford allowed LeBlanc to escape an early jam. San Francisco had runners on first and third with no outs against LeBlanc in the sixth inning before Cardinals manager Mike Shildt chose to turn the game over to his bullpen. Right-hander Ryan Helsley entered and struck out Wade, who pinch-hit for Ruf, before inducing a shallow flyout from Flores and recording an inning-end-

From Page B1 Cardinals’ offense off the board in an inning when their top hitters came to the plate. “I think Leone is one of our top weapons against tougher righthanded hitters and it just so happened that we saw the top of the lineup in the sixth and were going to have to go through (Dylan) Carlson, Goldschmidt and Arenado,” Kapler said. The next Giants reliever, John Brebbia, faced the bottom of the Cardinals lineup but encountered immediate trouble when he surrendered a leadoff double to Matt Carpenter. With one out and a runner on third, center fielder Harrison Bader hit a soft grounder to the right side of the infield and reached

ing strikeout of Mike Tauchman. “Not our best performance overall, obviously,” Kapler said. “I think we lost today’s game in the first inning and the sixth inning collectively.” The flyball from Flores wasn’t hit deep enough for Donovan Solano to challenge center fielder Harrison Bader’s arm, but aggressive baserunning likely would have given the Giants a lead as Bader’s throw home was off line and skipped to the side of his cut-off man. “It’s easy to say we hit a lot of balls hard and they ended up getting caught and fielded, but we also had opportunities this series to manufacture runs and just didn’t get it done,” Ruf said. “We know that happens throughout the course of the season and you try to forget about it.”

A’s: Offense continues to struggle Brown said. “Next week we could all be hitting 1.000.” Chris Bassitt’s strong start: The A’s All-Star danced nicely on that slim margin of error, but two players with Bay Area ties did all the damage against him. Bradley Zimmer, who played college ball at University of San Francisco, hit the very first pitch of the game for a home run to give Cleveland a 1-0 lead. “Straight location. The guy is swinging first pitch and expecting a fastball and I throw it middle-middle, bad things happen,” Bassitt said. Zimmer’s broken-bat RBI single gave the Indians their second run on Bassitt. Vallejo native Daniel Johnson, who entered the game batting .111 in seven games with the Indians, hit the go-ahead home run in the seventh inning, the first of his career. Bassitt said he had a moment of confusion on the mound during the at-bat, applying the scouting report for Indians five-hitter Bobby Bradley to Johnson.

From Page B1 home run tied the game up 2-2 in the fifth. It could have been a goahead home run if not for Ramón Laureano’s aggressive attempt to turn an easy double into a triple in the at-bat prior. Lauerano’s hit tipped off center fielder Zimmer’s glove, who made a throw to third baseman Jose Ramirez, who was a few feet off the base. Trying to create some offensive spark, Laureano went for third. But he was tagged out at third in a bang-bang play that warranted a challenge. Umpires confirmed the out upon review. “There’s nobody out, and when you aren’t scoring any runs, you try to make something happen,” Melvin said. “(Ball is) out there in no-mans land and saw how far away the third baseman was and took a chance at getting there. Just didn’t work out.” Plesac and a tough Indians bullpen retired the A’s last 13 batters as they slowly took the lead. “That’s just baseball for you,”

“I had a complete mental eff-up where I knew Bradley wasn’t hitting, but I knew the scouting report in my head was Bradley was hitting. I was pitching to Bradley, but he wasn’t hitting,” Bassitt said. “Murph was calling the completely right pitches, but I was just thinking . . . I eff’d the game up because I just had the wrong scouting report.” But Bassitt, an Ohio native, emerged from his seven-inning start with eight strikeouts on six hits with those three runs allowed – at one point, he retired 10 straight batters. The A’s starter peppered in a handful more curveballs than he has in his previous starts, some are a slower slider variation. “He had the same stuff he has had all year for us,” Melvin said. “First-pitch fastball, homer, then the last homer was the only other mistake he made after that. He made a couple pitches he had to pay for and we just didn’t do enough offensively.” The A’s looked to be clear for another one-run loss, but Yusmeiro Petit couldn’t come through.

Harris: Antioch star a special draft pick loves a “bell cow” as his primary ball-toter. Harris will get the most touches on the team as long as he stays healthy. Canada will use him often as a pass catcher. Harris has everything you want in a running back. The Steelers consider themselves fortunate to have been able to select him with the 24th pick in the April draft. He is the leading candidate to be the NFL’s Rookie of the Year among non-quarterbacks. Talk about big expectations. As for that red-hot spotlight? Harris seems to thrive under it. He was a huge part of Alabama teams that won the national cham-

From Page B1 about football.” “Once he gets it and it clicks and he goes full-speed, man, it is going to be something to see,” Roethlisberger said. “I think he’s going to have a tremendous season and a tremendous career because of his skillset, his work ethic and his football intelligence,” Matt Canada said. It’s no wonder so many expect Harris to heal everything that’s been wrong with the Steelers’ running game, which was the worst in the NFL last season. Tomlin
